The Ray C. Anderson Foundation has awarded a $300,000 grant to Emory University and its partners for the next phase of the Georgia Climate Project, a state-wide consortium of nine colleges and universities working to strengthen Georgia’s ability to prepare for and respond to a changing climate. The Georgia Climate Project was founded in 2018 as a collaborative effort among Emory University, the Georgia Institute of Technology and the University of Georgia. Its scope has since expanded to include Agnes Scott College, Columbus State University, Georgia Southern University, Georgia State University, Spelman College and the University of North Georgia. “This partnership is a great example of what can be accomplished when the colleges and universities of our great state work together toward a common goal,” said UGA President Jere W. Morehead. “UGA is proud to be a part of this important effort to promote the wellbeing of our climate as well as the health, environment and economic vitality of Georgia’s communities.”
