SUMMARY:COVID-19\, debt relief\, and the climate and biodiversity crises
DESCRIPTION:Join IIED on Wednesday\, 9 September for an online discussion on how debt relief can be addressed through climate and nature programme swaps. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic\, urgent debt relief is needed. For many developing countries\, repayments mean that vast amounts of money are diverted away from action on the climate emergency and biodiversity loss as well as education\, health and infrastructure. Millions more vulnerable people are being pushed into poverty. \nThis online event will bring together experts to discuss the use of debt for climate and nature programme swaps as a tool to address poverty\, the climate crisis and biodiversity loss. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhat are the opportunities and challenges of such an approach? What role can creditors from multilateral organisations and bilateral governments\, and debtor governments play? And to what extent can such an approach support a sustainable post-COVID-19 recovery? \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister Here

SUMMARY:Webinar: Making Economics Relevant: Incorporating SDG 8 & SDG 12 in the Curriculum–An Interdisciplinary Discussion
DESCRIPTION:Introductory economics courses provide an opportunity to connect the economic assumptions of human behavior with their realization and legitimacy in social norms. Given that social norms dictate economic outcomes\, the questioning of the behavioral assumptions in economics\, specifically insatiable appetites to consume and profit maximization/cost minimization\, would appear appropriate. Such a discussion allows for the evaluation of the alignment of social norms with sustainability values: environmental and social justice and economic equity\, presenting an opportunity to address how the teaching and the related practice of economics promotes unsustainable outcomes. This approach underscores the significance of an interdisciplinary approach to sustainability education. \nIn this webinar\, SDG 8\, Economic Growth and Decent Work and SDG 12\, Responsible Consumption and Production will be addressed from the perspective of prevailing economic assumptions. The discussion will address how to engage students in a critical assessment of current practices specific to SDG 8 and SDG 12 and fundamentally\, provide them with a classroom forum to understand how and why the practice of economics needs to be modified in order to promote sustainability as a social norm. The discussion will address the following topics: decoupling\, carbon taxation\, exploitation\, competitive advantage\, opportunity cost\, valuing the environment\, externalities\, lifecycle assessment\, cradle to cradle/cradle to waste\, economic growth\, alternative economic indicators of progress and stakeholder engagement. The webinar will be of value to anyone seeking to increase economic literacy and will provide an understanding as well as tools to promote understanding of the relationship between an economic framework and the sustainability of its outcomes. No prior economics knowledge is required and the discussion will be interdisciplinary. \n\n\nThis webinar is part of a series of webinars on sustainability in the curriculum put on by SCC and AASHE.

SUMMARY:Storytelling to Build Connections in a Virtual World
DESCRIPTION:Everyone has a story to tell and in this teacher workshop\, facilitated by education and outreach associates from the University of Colorado Boulder\, we will provide important storytelling resources to help participants connect and develop relationships with their students virtually. Participants will be introduced to key elements of storytelling\, engage with storytelling resources developed as part of the award winning Lens on Climate Change project\, and ultimately produce a video in which they tell their own story. The storytelling framework presented in this course may also be applied to other classroom investigations (see “Catch our Drift” video). We are all storytellers\, and we think this course will help participants and their future students be inspired to tell theirs. \n\nThere is no cost to register for the workshops\, and participants will receive 5 continuing education hours with the option to also receive graduate credit from CU Boulder. \nDate: August 20 & 21\, 12 – 2 pm MT each day \nRegistration: Free! \nLink to register and more details: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/storytelling-to-build-connections-in-a-virtual-world-tickets-115377240432

SUMMARY:Webinar: Sustainability Education in the Food-Energy-Water-Nexus
DESCRIPTION:Worldwide\, there has been growing interest in research\, education\, and discourse around the FEW-Nexus\, which serves as a framework to describe and aid in addressing complex coupled human-natural systems and the most significant global challenges of today and tomorrow. Institutions of higher education must take a leading role in fostering science\, technology\, engineering\, and mathematics (STEM) and food\, agriculture\, natural resources\, and human sciences (FANH) literacy as a means of preparing all global citizens for the most pressing global challenges of today and tomorrow.  In this webinar\, we present the National Collaborative for Research on Food\, Energy\, and Water Education (NC-FEW; http://ncfew.org)\, a new transdisciplinary community of postsecondary educators and education researchers engaged in FEW-Nexus-focused educational programming and research/evaluation. Over the next 5 years\, this Research Coordination Network (RCN; ECR-EHR Core Research #1856040) will engage individuals from a diverse array of postsecondary faculty with STEM and FANH backgrounds by affording a novel and innovative space for discourse\, networking\, and collaboration-building around FEW-Nexus-focused education and education research/evaluation. The webinar will provide an opportunity for participants to identify and explore the needs and priorities of the AASHE community in respect to NC-FEW’s broader mission and goals. \nRegister Today \nThis webinar is part of a series of webinars on sustainability in the curriculum put on by SCC and AASHE.
