Climate Change Education and Action
In response to an increasing urgency to address global climate change, Emory is seeking ways to reduce greenhouse gas emissions through energy savings. As detailed on our Energy Conservation webpage, Emory's goal is to reduce our energy use by 25% by 2015 from our 2005 levels. We are currently calculating our 2005-06 and 2006-07 greenhouse gas emissions to establish a baseline and track our progress. The emissions inventory will be completed in Fall 2008.
Emory has also held a series of dinner discussions over the past academic year to foster awareness of climate change and examine closely its impacts. Discussions were held on the following topics: - The Media's Response to Climate Change
- The Law and Politics of Climate Change
- Business and Ethical Perspectives on Climate Change
- The Public Health Impacts of Climate Change and the Psychology of Denial of Climate Change.
Upcoming lectures on climate change will be conducted as part of our Sustainability Speakers Series.
