A Case for Climate Optimism
Please join us for a lecture by Zealan Hoover, Senior Advisor to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator, followed by a career-focused Q&A and networking event on September 17! As greenhouse gas emissions and global temperatures continue to rise, the impacts of a hotter world are becoming more immediate and apparent. Climate anxiety is also becoming increasingly prevalent. Zealan Hoover is a senior leader at the U.S. EPA where he leads efforts to fight climate change by deploying billions of dollars in new federal investments to accelerate decarbonization. He will share the case for climate optimism grounded in progress the world has made since the 2015 Paris Climate Agreement, outline the work that still needs to be done, and share how today’s students can be part of the solution.

Championing Change: International Climate Diplomacy and Social Justice
Emory Climate Talks and the Department of Environmental Sciences will host a special event, “Championing Change: International Climate Diplomacy and Social Justice,” featuring former U.N. Ambassador and Atlanta Mayor Andrew Young, from 5:30-7 p.m., Thursday, April 25 in Convocation Hall. Attendees must register for the event and space is limited.
Through this panel discussion, attendees will gain valuable insights into the complexities of climate diplomacy and the challenges and opportunities presented at the UN climate negotiations last year in Dubai (COP28). Young, a renowned leader in civil rights activism and international diplomacy, will provide valuable perspectives on the role of diplomacy in addressing climate change.
Additionally, student delegates who attended COP28 will share their experiences, shedding light on what it means to witness climate negotiations firsthand. Students will also learn how they can contribute to the United Nations Climate Conference in Azerbaijan later this year. Since 2015, Emory students have attended the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change Conference of Parties (COP).
