SUMMARY:Webinar: Connecting Food Security\, Community\, and Sustainability
DESCRIPTION:At a time when college costs continue to climb considerably faster than general inflation and more students are facing food insecurity\, tying food security to sustainability can show students the importance of measures meant to improve our ecological footprint. For students from underrepresented populations (POC\, low income\, first-generation\, e.g.)\, a focus on sustainability can seem irrelevant to their life or overwhelming when they have more immediately pressing concerns. I’ll be highlighting efforts to ‘close the loop’ in small scale food production systems with composting\, seed saving\, recycling\, and permaculture techniques while also providing food and educational and internship opportunities to students who might have more difficulty than their peers in accessing those things. I’ll frame this in what is essentially a cradle to grave approach to agriculture\, with additional discussion of resiliency from a social perspective- caring for the environment as we care for our community. This model of building multiple overlapping networks to address related issues helps students to practice critical thinking and problem-solving skills in an arena that is specifically and explicitly designed to tie human well-being to the well-being of the planet in a way that is non-threatening and empowering\, instead of overwhelming and alienating. \nRegister Here!

SUMMARY:Abstracts due for ICSD 2020 Virtual Conference
DESCRIPTION:Due to the continued uncertainty around the global COVID-19 pandemic\, the ICSD Organizing Committee has decided to convene the 2020 event virtually.

We realize that this disease is affecting different countries on different timelines\, and want to ensure that all participants\, from all countries\, have an equal opportunity to attend this exciting event. We’re hopeful that this may be the best ICSD ever\, as travel costs and US visa processes are no longer barriers to participation! We hope the online format allows us to have the most internationally-representative event to date. \nHere is what you need to know about ICSD moving forward: \n\nOur abstract submission process remains the same. If you would like to virtually present\, please submit an abstract by May 1\, 2020.\nOur dates remain the same: September 21-22\, 2020. However\, the schedule will be adjusted to accommodate different time zones.

We will open registration during the summer.\n\nWe appreciate your understanding and are excited to be able to provide a space to stay connected online.

SUMMARY:Shared Responsibility\, Global Solidarity; A Virtual Dialogue on SDG17 and Public Private Partnerships: COVID-19 Response and Recovery in the Framework of the 2030 Agenda
DESCRIPTION:Join our webinar that aims to provide ideas about how partnerships can be catalyzed and scaled up in the COVID-19 era to advance the 2030 agenda. \nThe unfolding pandemic crisis has challenged national governments\, the international community and the business community in fundamental ways. All attention is now turned to solidarity in meeting urgent health and economic needs of people. Launching a global COVID-19 response is now an imperative and overarching focus for the United Nations\, as it is for global business. \nEffective pandemic response and recovery alongside the Decade of Delivery and Action\, relies on making “business as usual” obsolete for both the private sector and the international community. Inclusive multilateralism is needed now more than ever\, including through animating shared value partnerships across governments\, inter-governmental bodies\, business and other stakeholders. \nOrganized by UN DESA\, IOE\, USCIB’s All In 2020 Campaign and the Business Partners for Sustainable Development (BPSD)\, this virtual dialogue will provide ideas about how such partnerships can be catalyzed and scaled up to advance the 2030 Agenda and inform the future work of the HLPF. \nApril 29th\, 9:00 AM-10:30 AM \nRegister here
