SUMMARY:Technology\, Globalization and Sustainable Development: Transforming the Industrial State
DESCRIPTION:Nicholas Ashford and Ralph Hall will share their experiences in teaching their graduate level course in “Technology\, Globalization\, and Sustainable Development: Transforming the Industrial State” at MIT\, Virginia Tech\, Harvard and Cambridge Universities\, and the Technical University of Cyprus\, utilizing their revised textbook of the same name. This transdisciplinary text addresses both national and international policies needed to promote sustainable development\, which rest on three pillars: [1] delivering essential goods and services to people; [2] maintaining a good environment\, and [3] creating meaningful opportunities for sufficient earning capacity for people through employment and other ways to broaden capital ownership. Conventional theories of economic growth\, consumption\, employment\, and inequality are challenged and a more modern conceptualization of the workings of the industrial state\, both developed and developing\, is presented. \nThe transformation of the industrial state will be enabled by environmental\, economic\, and trade law\, new economics\, and a more realistic political theory focused on achieving an equitable and secure society in a resource and energy-constrained future. The book was written specifically to enable a more integrated and transdisciplinary approach in teaching sustainable development. \nNicholas A. Ashford is Professor of Technology & Policy and Director of the Technology & Law Program at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology\, where he teaches courses in environmental law\, policy\, and economics; law\, technology\, and public policy; and technology\, globalization\, and sustainable development. Dr. Ashford holds both a PhD in Chemistry and a law degree from the University of Chicago\, where he also received graduate education in economics. He is a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. http://ashford.mit.edu \nRalph P. Hall is Associate Professor in the School of Public and International Affairs (SPIA) at Virginia Tech\, where he is Director of the SPIA Undergraduate Program. Dr. Hall’s research and teaching focus on sustainable development\, sustainable transportation\, and water supply and sanitation in developing countries. Dr. Hall holds a PhD in Technology\, Management\, and Policy and two S.M. degrees in Technology and Policy and Civil and Environmental Engineering from Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He also holds an MEng in Civil Engineering from the University of Southampton.https://ralphphall.com/ \n  \nTo pre-register\, go to: \nhttp://bit.ly/2U2hm0C

SUMMARY:Environment 2041 Leadership for Emerging Leaders Program
DESCRIPTION:The Center for Diversity & the Environment is honored and pleased to announce that through generous funding from Metro’s Nature and Neighborhoods grant and US Fish and Wildlife funding\, we are offering a third Environment 2042 Leadership Program for Emerging Leaders cohort in 2019. \n  \nOur E42 Emerging Leaders Program is focused on supporting emerging leaders age 18-25 in their personal growth and work to deepen understanding of the implications of our changing demographics\, understanding systems as ways of supporting or undermining performance\, developing skills in working across differences and with communities of color and developing action plans. \n  \nEach cohort includes representation across various dimensions of diversity with a strong emphasis on racial and ethnic diversity. Selecting a balanced cohort is a critical and a unique element of this leadership program. As we begin the process of recruitment\, we invite you all to nominate any emerging leaders that you believe will benefit from an experience like this one. \n  \nPlease note that we will be reviewing applications as they arrived\, so please encourage your Emerging Leaders to apply ASAP as the deadline (Monday\, Dec 10th 5:00 pm) is coming up fast. \nFollowing is more information about the E42 Emerging Leaders Program and the Center for Diversity & the Environment. Please feel free to contact Queta González\, Punneh Abdolhosseini or Gladys Ruiz with any questions.  Please see attached documents for more information and the E42 Emerging leaders application. \n  \nCall for Applicants: Environment 2042 Emerging Leaders \n(E42 Emerging Leaders Cohort 2019) \nDear Community members\, \n  \nThe Center for Diversity & the Environment is honored and pleased to announce that through generous funding from Metro’s Nature and Neighborhoods grant and US Fish and Wildlife Service\, we are offering a third Environment 2042 Leadership Program for Emerging Leaders cohort in 2019. \n  \nOur E42 Emerging Leaders Program is focused on supporting emerging leaders age 18-25 in their personal growth and work to deepen understanding of the implications of our changing demographics\, understanding systems as ways of supporting or undermining performance\, developing skills in working across differences and with communities of color and developing action plans. \n  \nEach cohort includes representation across various dimensions of diversity with a strong emphasis on racial and ethnic diversity.  Selecting a balanced cohort is a critical and a unique element of this leadership program. As we begin the process of recruitment\, we invite you all to encourage any emerging leaders that you believe will benefit from an experience like this one to apply. \n  \nFollowing is more information about the E42 Emerging Leaders Program and the Center for Diversity & the Environment. Please feel free to contact Queta González\, Punneh Abdolhosseini or Gladys Ruiz with any questions. \n  \nFor more information about Center for Diversity & the Environment and our work\, visit: www.cdeinspires.org \n  \nFor more information or for any questions\, please contact: \n  \nQueta González \nDirector\, Center for Diversity & the Environment \nCell: 503.926.4868 \n  \nPunneh Abdolhosseini \nE42 Emerging Leaders Co-Facilitator \n206.434.1750 \n  \n  \nGladys Ruiz \nE42 Emerging Leaders Co-Facilitator \nCell: 347.661.8089 \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nWhy encourage an Emerging Leader to apply to the E42 Emerging Leaders Cohort? \n  \nThe leadership within the environmental movement does not accurately reflect the growing Asian\, Black\, Native and Latino populations across the Pacific Northwest region nor the current and rapidly changing face of the U.S.—a face that is about 36% people of color and will grow to 50% people of color by 2042\, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. Without the active involvement of people of color\, our ability to work together to solve our future’s interconnected challenges will be severely hindered. \n  \nThe E42 Emerging Leaders cohort provides a wonderful opportunity to build bridges between environmental leadership and a diverse community of peers and professionals working together to address our environmental challenges with innovative solutions. The prominent opportunity in this project is community building: create space for dialogue among related stakeholder groups to find common ground\, and to build capacity for all partners to work together toward shared goals for a more livable and just society. \n  \nPlease join us. \n  \nThe program will take place Feb-April 2019 consisting of monthly sessions that take place on weekends. We will also have evening community meetings during the week not exceeding once a month. The facilitated monthly sessions will include: racial equity training\, understanding environmental and racial history\, relationship and community building\, skills to lead change\, and tools to develop action-based solutions at the individual\, organization\, and movement-wide levels. Each participant will leave with an action plan\, skills and tools to create inclusive workspaces \n  \nAbout the Center for Diversity & the Environment \nOur Vision \nWe envision a healthy\, flourishing planet and society that sustainably and equitably meets the needs of all through an environmental movement that is diverse\, inclusive\, successful\, vibrant\, and relevant\, taking into account the needs\, perspectives\, and voices of all. The Center for Diversity and the Environment harnesses the power of racial and ethnic diversity to transform the US environmental movement by developing leaders\, catalyzing change within institutions\, and building alliances. \n  \nOur Theory of Change \nThe Center for Diversity & the Environment grew out of the belief that everyone has a place in the environmental movement. Everything we do at CDE supports this vision of inclusivity. We build bridges between communities of color and the environmental community\, fostering a fundamental revolution of the environmental movement into an equitable\, inclusive\, and diverse coalition of people at work on a wide array of environmental issues. We believe that diversity strengthens and enriches our work and makes the environmental movement more relevant than ever. Alumni of our programs carry this work forward and out into their communities: they are the change agents and ambassadors of the changing face of environmentalism. \n  \n  \n  \n  \nImportant Program Dates: \n\n\n\nDate\nTopic \n \n\n\nSaturday\,  \nFebruary 2nd  \n9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. \n \nCheck – In \nTeam Building \nCooper Mountain Nature Park\n\n\nSaturday\, \nFebruary 16th  \n1:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m.  \nLeaven \nNative American Perspective on Conservation with Chuck Sams\, Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla (Cayuse\, Umatilla\, Walla Walla) \n \n\n\nThursday\, \nFebruary 21st  \n6:00 p.m. 9:00 p.m. \nLeaven\nCohort check-in from 6-8pm – Review and Analysis -The art of reflection\, inquiry & action \n \n\n\nFriday- Sunday \nMarch 1st– 3rd  \nDepart and Arrival (TBD) \nWestwind\nRacial Equity Institute Training  \n*Weekend overnight retreat\, Friday evening through Sunday afternoon. \n\n\nThursday\, \nMarch 7th  \n6:00 p.m. 8:00 p.m. \nLeaven\nCohort check-in from 6-8pm – Review and Analysis -Reflection\, inquiry & action \n \n\n\nSaturday  \nMarch 16th  \n1:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m.  \nLeaven \nRanchers Perspective on Conservation with Liza Jane McAlister\, a fourth-generation rancher in Eastern Oregon \nFull Day session in NE Portland \n \n\n\nFriday-Sunday \nMarch 22-24  \nDepart Friday at 6:00 p.m. Arrive in Portland at 5:00 p.m. Sunday at 5:00 p.m. \nAlton Collins\nRetreat  \nBuilding the Foundations & Tools for Change  \n*Weekend overnight retreat\, Friday evening through Sunday afternoon. \n\n\nThursday \nApril 4th  \n6:00 p.m.- 8:00 p.m. \nLeaven\nEmerging Leaders Planning Session \n \n\n\nSaturday  \nApril 13th  \n1:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m.  \nLeaven\nCelebration and course wrap-up\n\n\n\n  \n  \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Global Warming: What can we learn from the COP24 meeting?
DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Prof. Dr. Reimund Schwarze\, Dr. Oleksandr Sushchenko\, Hannes Rassmann \nIn December 2018\, politicians and scientists from around the globe met in Katowice to evaluate the status of climate change\, which is broadly considered to threatening sustainability and resilience of societies around the world. The IPCC special report 1.5 was meant to be the key scientific input into the COP24 meeting\, when the Parties of the Paris Agreement met in Poland with the central aim to keep global temperature rise this century well below 2°C above pre-industrial levels and to pursue efforts to limit the temperature increase even further to a maximum increase of 1.5°C. This is an ambitious aim acknowledging the fact that global temperatures are already rapidly approaching the 1.5°C target.  \nA team of social science researchers with backgrounds as different as international law\, political economy and social ethnology from the German research center “UFZ” followed the COP24 meeting in Poland within the negotiation area and outside the tents to observe and analyze if and how the urgent message of the IPCC has been taken up in the Katowice agreements. At this webinar they will report on their experiences and assessments. Join us when they will tell us first-hand from the Katowice negotiations and discuss with us the impacts and implications for sustainable\, resilient and healthy communities and urban development! \nYour host will be Prof. Dr. Reimund Schwarze – a globally renown economist working on climate change adaptation strategies in particular related to sustainable land use incentives. Reimund joined COP24 and several previous international climate change conferences and will be joined by international colleagues Dr. Oleksandr Sushchenko and Hannes Rassmann in the webinar. \nThe webinar will be on Dec. 20th 2018 at 14:30 – 15:45 GMT (15:30 – 16:45 Berlin | 9:30am – 10:45am Washington). \nTo join\, just click http://deus.clickmeeting.com/global-warming-what-can-we-learn-from-the-cop24-meeting at the time of the meeting. \nThe webinar is organized in the framework of the formerly Germany Ministry of Education and Research co-funded network DE-US.net. – a network for the exchange of ideas and the access to expert knowledge about the City of Tomorrow. Discuss with our members if you want to provide solutions for sustainable and better living in the “Zukunftsstadt” – the City of Tomorrow. Join us and find more info at https://www.de-us.net/
