It offers a space to learn about the nexus between the Sustainable Development Goals\, the Earth Charter and urban sustainability. \nThis experience seeks to build a pool of experts and consultants with a systemic and ethical approach to sustainability\, who are able to provide quality support and guidance to cities facing challenges during their development and planning process. How do we make cities and human settlements inclusive\, safe\, resilient and sustainable\, interlinking with the other goals \nONLINE & FACILITATED.

SUMMARY:Solutions Center: Helping You Understand Your Carbon Reduction Options
DESCRIPTION:SPEAKERS:\n– Dave Karlsgodt\, Director\, Management Advisory Services\, Brailsford & Dunlavey\, Inc\n– Steve Muzzy\, Senior Manager Climate Programs\, Second Nature \n– Chris O’Brien\, Director of Business Development\, CustomerFirst Renewables \nDESCRIPTION:  Chris O’Brien of CustomerFirst Renewables (CFR) and Dave Karlsgodt of Brailsford & Dunlavey (formerly Fovea) have been working with campuses for years. Their conversations with sustainability professionals inevitably turn to discussing options for carbon and energy reductions and they have compiled a running list of nearly 50 activities a campus can take to help meet climate goals. They’ve also designed an impact matrix that helps organize projects based on greenhouse gas reduction\, economic impact\, feasibility\, publicity\, timeline\, and maintenance. Second Nature has partnered with CFR and Brailsford & Dunlavey to launch the Solutions Center – a platform that helps campuses quickly review the solutions available and to help build a presentation for decision makers to more easily assess and prioritize decisions faster in order to accelerate climate action. \n\n\n\n\n\nRegister Here

SUMMARY:Virtual Workshop: Coping With Climate Anxiety in the Classroom and for Yourself
DESCRIPTION:The Worry & Hope study at the University of Hawaii revealed a pervasive emotional climate of fear\, anger\, sadness\, shame and hope about climate change. College faculty already knew this\, and are\, themselves\, feeling anxiety\, grief\, and additional stress that accompanies a sense of urgency and responsibility to teach and engage with students about climate change across all academic subject areas. \nThis two hour online workshop is for faculty to address their own emotions so that we can create and hold space in our classrooms for students to integrate and process hard realities about climate change impacts. If not here\, where? If not us\, who? A short overview of research on climate change education and pedagogies will be followed by experiential workshop going through 4 activities that you can then use in your classroom.  The activities are based on recent research as well as ecotherapy\, ecopsychology\, and the Active Hope work of Joanna Macy. \nKrista Hiser is the Director of the University of Hawaii System Center for Sustainability Across the Curriculum (an AASHE Regional Center). She is also a longtime Professor of writing and teaches climate change communication\, project-based sustainability capstone\, and climate fiction. \nA Zoom link\, some view-ahead materials\, and technology requirements will be forward to registered participants. Video connectivity is required\, and participants must attend the entire 2 hour workshop to preserve the interactive online engagement.

SUMMARY:Invitation to "Structuring an Economy for People and Planet in the Time of Climate Crisis and COVID-19" WECAN's next webinar!
DESCRIPTION:Please be invited to join the Women’s Earth and Climate Action Network (WECAN) on Thursday\, May 28 for our upcoming webinar\, “Structuring an Economy for People and Planet in the Time of Climate Crisis and COVID-19”. During this dynamic dialogue women and feminists from different regions of the world will unite to discuss alternative economies that counteract extractive economic systems\, colonization\, racism\, and patriarchy— and instead visibilize women’s labor\, center Indigenous knowledge\, and prioritize people and planet. There could not be a more important time to ensure we do not go back to business as usual.\n\nAs unemployment severely rises\, food and housing are under further threat\, oil prices plummet\, and some governments insist on bailing out the fossil fuel sector and other destructive industries instead of people and nature— the COVID-19 pandemic has laid bare the already existing severe cracks in our global economic system. What is needed now is investment in economies founded on principles of justice\, reciprocity\, and regeneration. Learn more about this vital interactive discussion and how to participate down below!\n\nStructuring an Economy for People and Planet\nIn the Time of Climate Crisis and COVID-19\nThursday\, May 28\, 2020\n11:00 am PST/ 2:00 pm EST USA time\nPlease check your own time zone to coordinate!\nRegistration is required –\nregister at this link

SUMMARY:Village Building Design Course: VBDC
DESCRIPTION:It’s 20th anniversary of the Village Building Convergence!  One of the blessings this pandemic is offering is the time to reflect on our work. While we are needing to adapt to COVID-19\, there are still several ways that we are continuing to support the essence of our work – to deepen relationships with each other and the land. \nWe understand that this is especially important as we find creative ways to hold our needs and desires to be together while we are physically distanced and moving through our collective grief in solidarity. \nWith this in our hearts\, we are transitioning our flagship gathering – the Village Building Convergence (VBC) to a digital gathering. We weighed several options for how to move forward and felt that it is an especially critical time for us to feel connected to each other. So while technology has its host of limitations and problems\, we simultaneously hold our deep desire and sense of responsibility to host community gatherings during this time. \nWe are witnessing a surge in interest in our placemaking and re-villaging models and want to inoculate as many communities with the tools that you need to be able to enable your community to thrive. So we are also adapting our Introductory workshop series to placemaking – the Village Building Design Course (VBDC) for a digital platform. \nWe would love it if you would check it out yourself\, share it with friends\, and on your social media platforms. \nFor more information\, visit our Village Building Convergence website.
