SUMMARY:Civic Ecology: A Citizen-Driven Framework for Communities
DESCRIPTION:Much of the conversation around sustainable development has focused on designing better “hardware” – energy efficient buildings; renewable energy; leaner\, greener infrastructure. While these manifestations of sustainability in the built environment are important\, they are not the whole solution. Great communities have robust “software”\, the self-initiated\, self-perpetuating activities and social networks of local citizens. The Civic Ecology Institute\, led by Portland-based SERA Architects\, seeks to illuminates how that software and hardware fit together to constitute a complete sustainable community. \nThe Civic Ecology Institute works with neighborhood stakeholders to design a grass roots framework for community resilience that is civic-public-private partnership based. Civic Ecology integrates whole systems thinking with strong democracy in the service of making great neighborhoods. Through training\, facilitation and project work\, Civic Ecology helps communities\, local government and the private sector co-create a shared vision of a prosperous future and then make it happen. \nIN THIS WEBINAR\, YOU WILL LEARN:\n\nHow to incorporate grass roots systems thinking into neighborhood-scale planning and design projects\nAbout a specific tool – resource flow mapping – that has been used to integrate grass roots knowledge into neighborhood and district visioning and goal setting\nHear specific case studies that have incorporated the Civic Ecology toolkit and the outcomes it has produced.\n\n\nPresented by Tim Smith\nPrincipal\, AIA\, AICP\, SERA Architects

SUMMARY:Progressing National SDGs Implementations
DESCRIPTION:What are Voluntary National Reviews? \nVoluntary National Reviews are one of the key mechanisms to track the implementation progress of the commitments enshrined in the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. \nPresented annually at the UN High-Level Political Forum (HLPF)\, they aim to promote accountability to citizens\, support effective international cooperation\, and foster exchange of best practices and mutual learning. \nWhy attend this webinar? \n2019 marks the end of the first 4-year cycle of reviews of the SDGs\, so it is an important year to assess overall progress and consider potential improvements to the process. \nThis online launch will share the main findings of a study commissioned by civil society\, analysing the VNRs and a sample of civil society reports produced in 2017 for the HLPF. The assessment identifies best practices and provides recommendations for improving implementation and the VNR process and reports\, as well as strengthening accountability around the implementation of the 2030 Agenda.
