    Gender and Diverse Voices at COP27

    World leaders face mounting pressure to address more effectively the unequal vulnerability of women to the deepening climate crisis. At United Nations negotiations in recent years, women activists have urged broader gender equality and women’s leadership in launching new climate initiatives. Recent Emory graduates Prachi Prasad and Danni Dong interviewed delegates about the role of women and diverse voices at COP27 or the 27th UN Conference of the Parties held in Egypt in November 2022. That activism has set the stage for expanding women’s participation at COP28 that meets in Dubai November 30-December 12, 2023.

    COP27 Conversations: Pay Up Now for Loss and Damage to Human Health

    How is climate change disproportionately impacting global health, and how should these damages be compensated? Join Margaret and Clare, two public health students at Emory University, to explore these questions by interviewing delegates from developing nations at the UNFCCC's 27th Conference of the Parties. The interviews were recorded in November 2022, and this episode is being released one year later to commemorate the life of Dr. Saleemul Huq, who recently passed away and is featured prominently in the episode.

    First, Do No Harm: The Role of Health Care in Climate Action

    “First, do no harm.” These words are part of the oath taken by doctors, as they pledge to avoid intentionally harming another person. But as the climate change crisis grows more urgent and the contribution of healthcare systems to the problem becomes clearer, this oath raises questions. In this episode, Lauren Balotin and Meg Withers discuss the role of healthcare in climate action and sustainability. The episode features interviews with Dr. Shanda Demorest, the Associate Director of Climate Engagement and Education at Health Care Without Harm, and Dr. Adam Klein, Professor in Emory University’s School of Medicine. Dr. Demorest and Dr. Klein discuss how they discovered their passions for sustainability as healthcare providers, what barriers healthcare organizations face in climate action, and how healthcare systems can strengthen climate commitments.

    Enrolled in Coal: University Divestment from Fossil Fuels (pt. 1)

    You may have heard recent news about a growing list of American universities that are deciding to remove their investments in fossil fuel companies. This was no self-motivated act: students across the US have been charging for divestment for over a decade. In fact, a year ago students from several schools combined efforts to launch legal complaints against their universities for their financial entanglement with the fossil fuel industry. So how did we get here, and what work is left to do within higher education beyond divestment? Join Emory alumni Halle Bradshaw (‘18C, ‘19G) and Tyler Stern (‘16C) as they learn more about student divestment campaigns, their new legal strategy, and a wrinkle in investment practices that leads them back to their alma mater.

    Perspectives on Climate Change by International Students

    At universities, we have the opportunity to live and learn alongside students from other communities, countries, and cultures. We have the opportunity to hear how students from different backgrounds view climate change and climate activism. In this episode, we hear from international students at Emory. They discuss how topics such as climate change impacted them before coming to Emory, what their classes taught (or did not teach) about climate change, and how their perspectives on climate activism have changed over time.
