Narrative:

At FL325 climbing out; we received an 'engine reverser 2 pressurized' ECAM. The captain continued to fly the airplane and handle the radios and I completed the ECAM. The ECAM had us reduce thrust to idle on #2 engine and land as soon as possible. I completed the quick reference checklist drift-down procedure checklist and coordinated with dispatch and maintenance; while the captain declared an emergency and coordinated with the flight attendants and passengers. Diverted to ZZZ. Completed the overweight landing checklist and evaluated all landing performance. The captain flew and executed a visual approach to ZZZ and the landing was normal. Emergency vehicles escorted us to the gate.
