Earlier this month, Emory hosted its sustainable Sustainable Food Fair, where attendees could learn about sustainable food practices, sample from a variety of vendors, purchase local goods and more.

Emory University has secured the fifth spot in the Princeton Review’s 2025 Guide to Green Colleges, rising two places from last year’s rankings.

This marks the fourth consecutive year that Emory has placed in the Princeton Review’s top ten green colleges list. 

The Princeton Review created the rankings based on data from its surveys of college administrators and students from 511 universities on a scale of 60 to 99. In the new rankings, Emory received a score of 99. The university profiles used to create the Guide include notes on each school’s use of renewable energy, recycling, conservation programs and the availability of environmental studies in their academic offerings. 

This exciting news coincides with this year’s effort to develop Emory’s third Sustainability Vision and Strategic Plan for 2025-2036. As Emory approaches its bicentennial, the Sustainability Vision and Strategic Plan will establish and guide the university’s ambitions to model transformative practices and sustainable choices at every level. Emory’s Sustainability Vision is modeled after the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals, which provide a blueprint for peace and prosperity for people and the planet, now and in the future. Between now and the end of the year, the Office of Sustainability Initiatives is soliciting community-produced artwork to be featured in the Vision when it is published.

The Vision builds on last year’s Climate Action Plan, providing a roadmap to fulfilling the two climate commitments President Fenves signed in 2021.
