Engaging students, alumni and Emory faculty across issues of climate change
We have come to a point where universities play a unique role at the frontlines of climate change. Today, Emory University is part of a select group of institutions in the U.S., sending delegations to the annual climate negotiations, strengthening research on global climate change, and taking an active role in our communities.
What happens when the air you breathe becomes your biggest burden? When the Air Feels Heavy follows Victoria, an Emory student whose daily walk to class mirrors Atlanta’s rising heat and worsening air quality. Her story reveals how climate change, pollution, and inequality intertwine—and asks a haunting question: Why does clean air still feel like a privilege?
