Kylie Stuart is a first-year student at UChicago planning to study Economics. She chose to focus on climate change because she sees it as one of the most urgent issues shaping her generation’s future. In her own words, preparing this exposé allowed her to look more closely at the environmental challenges we face and to consider how communication can foster awareness and collective action.

This exposé was created as part of an assignment for French 202: Language, History and Culture, taught by Dr. Nicolas Portugal.
