SUMMARY:2020 Keeling Curve Prize
DESCRIPTION:Each year\, we award hundreds of thousands of dollars in prize money to projects across the globe that are reducing greenhouse gas emissions or increasing uptake. \nWhat we are looking for… \n\nCapture & Utilization: From emerging carbon markets to reforestation\, this category is for projects that directly sequester\, and in many cases\, use the captured carbon as a marketable product.\nEnergy: With growing global population and changing demographics\, this category is for projects that promote low-cost and reliable energy as a strategy to replace and discourage the development of continued fossil fuel use.\nFinance: As clean energy applications evolve\, so must funding strategies. This category supports projects that work to increase and improve the flow of funding across all avenues of climate solutions.\nSocial & Cultural Pathways: This category is dedicated to the ‘human question.’ What about our cultural attitudes toward global warming need to change? Who is helping turn the tide and how?\nTransport & Mobility: From charging stations to freight logistics\, mobility is a broad topic with vast room for improvement. This category supports high-impact improvements from personal to industry-level applications.

SUMMARY:Permaculture Design for Climate Resilience with Andrew Millison
DESCRIPTION:As the climate shifts around the globe\, it is increasingly important for the permaculture designer to understand global trends and incorporate sound design to mitigate negative impacts. This talk focuses on looking at scientific projections of future scenarios from the lens of several climate classification systems\, learning about analogue (similar) climates\, and determining the major design essentials for resilience to future (and present) changes. \nBy analyzing the agro-ecologies of other global locales that match our region’s climate change projections\, we are more well-equipped to assess and implement local strategies for food system adaptation and resilience. \nAbout the Presenter: \n\nAndrew Millison has been studying\, teaching and practicing Permaculture since he took his first design course in 1996. He started teaching Permaculture at the college level in 2001\, and has been an instructor at OSU in the Horticulture Department since 2009. He embedded himself within Oregon State University\, and created the first Permaculture Massive Open Online Course with over 40\,000 students. Working at a major state university\, he has worked to promote the acceptance of permaculture into a mainstream academic institution.

SUMMARY:Urban Nature Partners seeks new Board members and Advisors
DESCRIPTION:About Our Program\nUrban Nature Partners PDX empowers youth from historically marginalized Portland communities through building long term mentoring relationships and providing access to meaningful outdoor experiences. Mentor-youth activities take place in easily accessible outdoor areas in and around Portland\, are driven by the interests and abilities of each youth\, and are relevant to a young person’s culture and background. Group events include their family members so everyone gets to enjoy all that our great urban greenspaces have to offer. For more information\, go to: http://urban-nature-partners.org. \n  \nThe UNP-PDX program was started in January 2014 by Founder and Director Kristin Bowling. 46 youth in 4th-9th grades have been enrolled with mentors since spring 2014\, in 7 cohorts from Harrison Park\, Cesar Chavez\, and Harvey Scott Schools. 20 of those youth are currently enrolled and have been for between 2 months and 3 ½ years. Another annual recruitment is planned in Spring 2020\, to expand the total number of enrolled youth as well as our neighborhood reach. \n \nBoard History\nUNP-PDX was governed by an Administrative Committee for 3 years beginning in February 2016 as a consensus-based administrative support body. In February 2019\, UNP-PDX received independent 501(c)(3) status\, and transitioned to an official Board made up of 6 Directors. \n\nBoard Responsibilities  \nAs a young\, grassroots organization\, UNP-PDX requires a “working Board” to complement the work of its small staff and volunteers.  In addition to following bylaws and policies\, UNP-PDX Board members agree to the following terms: \n\nCommit to a 1-3 year term of volunteer service as a Director at an average of 10 hours per month (more or less depending on the flow of work in a member’s focus area throughout the year); report hours monthly in a timely fashion.\nAttend the majority of quarterly or bi-monthly Board meetings\, and schedule and attend work group meetings as needed with other Directors.\n\n\nProvide professional expertise and guidance to the Program Director\, Board Directors\, and other UNP-PDX volunteers and interns per each member’s knowledge and skill base\, and represent UNP-PDX professionally and proactively in the community.\n\n\nContribute a monthly donation in an amount that is meaningful to the committee member’s financial status. Help identify\, publicize and attend at least one fundraising event per year\, and help publicize and solicit individual donations and automatic giving program participation.\n\n\nBuild connections to program operations and people by attending at least one group outing per year and one mentor happy hour training per year.\n\nIn 2020\, we are especially seeking the following characteristics in new Board members:  \n\nPeople of color\, from immigrant backgrounds\, Spanish speakers\, and others who share similar demographics and life experiences with the youth and families we serve. \nA member willing to serve as Board President as the Program Director steps out of that role. \nFolks willing to put expertise in fundraising/finance\, marketing\, legal issues\, social work/youth services\, and community organizing to work for a grassroots organization!\n\n\nIn 2020\, we expect to focus on the following work in addition to ongoing tasks:  \n\nCompleting our initial Policy documents. \nAdvancing our equity work\, as a part of the Mentoring Collaborative and as an individual organization. \nSupporting program expansion to a new school or neighborhood\, including hiring additional staff support. \nContinuing to significantly increase our ratio of unrestricted funds raised. \n\nDirectors may also be asked to assist with the following: \n\nRepresent UNP-PDX at networking events and meetings; attend occasional trainings as available to enhance knowledge and skills.\nIdentify\, nominate and train new members to perpetuate the Board.\nAssist in recruiting new mentors\, Advisory Committee members\, and community partners.\nGive feedback on the work of other Board members and the Program Director\, and self-evaluate.\n\n  \nCommittee Benefits \nServing on the UNP-PDX Board of Directors provides the following benefits: \n\nThe opportunity to make a significant contribution to the growth and success of a small\, grassroots nonprofit.\nCollege credit available as desired.\nOpportunity to learn new knowledge and skills from fellow committee members; may shadow the Program Director or any member upon request.\nReferences provided for any future employment or education opportunity.\n\n  \nApplicants to the Board of Directors of Urban Nature Partners must agree to the terms and responsibilities outlined above\, as well as the Bylaws\, and sign and abide by a Conflict of Interest form.

SUMMARY:Columbia's Tim Boyle on Free Trade and Global Engagement at the Old Church
DESCRIPTION:Directly and indirectly\, Oregonians depend on free and fair trade. Whether it is Oregon farmers exporting their goods\, workers on the docks loading and unloading imported or exported cars and other products\, or innovators in the apparel and footwear industries creating the next hit for global markets\, Oregonians benefit from global engagement. \nFrom restrictions on international travel and legal immigration to tax reform to pulling back from international trade agreements\, how have the uncertainty created by recent policies effected the rules of global engagement and the ability to create economic opportunity?  What can we do to inspire a deeper investment in education at all levels so that Oregonians are prepared to understand and engage in the global economy? And how might we reinvigorate the idea that economic growth and quality of life are the direct beneficiaries of global engagement and free trade– a notion that is too often lost in political debates on all sides of the political aisle?

SUMMARY:RCE Asia-Pacific SDG Youth Challenge 2020: EOI Open Now!
DESCRIPTION:The 2020 RCE SDG Youth Challenge ‘Youth for the Goals’ is an exciting and unique youth-led initiative focused on delivering the SDGs at a local level. This year\, the Challenge will be focusing on SDG 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities\, SDG 12: Responsible Consumption and Production\, and SDG 15: Life on Land. Projects are welcome from any RCEs interested in participating. \nConceived by Asia-Pacific youth leaders at RCE Greater Western Sydney (Australia) and RCE Yogyakarta (Indonesia)\, the Challenge uses a peer-to-peer learning model coupled with virtual mentoring support to empower and enable youth leaders to engage with each other and to deliver grassroots projects that matter to them and their communities. \nThe Challenge invites young people to get empowered and engaged in their local communities and RCE networks. Youth are invited to either create their own or build on an existing project\, with support from their RCE or an organisation\, that will make a difference for them\, their community\, and the planet. Projects could include creating a video documentary\, youth camps\, leadership programme\, school workshops\, clean-up events\, art installations and more – the choice is yours as long as it is in line with the Challenge theme (SDG 11\, 12 and/or 15\, underpinned by SDG 4). Projects must be led by a youth lead (35 years or younger)\, can be run by an individual or team (team doesn’t have to be youth exclusively) who are committed to the project from February – October 2020. \nTo date\, the challenge has engaged directly with over 19\,000 youth and delivered 39 individual sustainability youth-led projects across nine countries. In 2018\, the focus was on SDGs 13 and 14\, whilst in 2019\, it was SDGs 1\, 6 and 10 – all underpinned by SDG 4. \nFind out more and download the flyer here. \nTo participate\, submit an expression of interest here. The deadline is 25 January\, 2020.

SUMMARY:SCC Webinar - Competencies and Pedagogies for Sustainability Education
DESCRIPTION:Sustainability studies educators in colleges and universities must identify and teach the knowledge\, skills\, and abilities their graduates will most need to advance sustainability while confronting perhaps the most serious\, sweeping\, and integrated set of challenges humanity has ever known. Drawing upon her recently published article “Competencies and Pedagogies for Sustainability Education: A Roadmap for Sustainability Studies Program Development in Colleges and Universities” <https://www.mdpi.com/2071-1050/11/19/5526>\, Evans articulates and describes a set of five competencies for the sustainability field and suggests potentially effective pedagogies for teaching them. Findings from her article in the areas of both competencies and pedagogies for sustainability education imply the benefits of integrative\, active\, collaborative\, and applied approaches to curriculum development and teaching—approaches that directly involve students in learning and practicing transdisciplinary engagement in service to sustainability. \nThe Bachelor of Arts in Sustainability Studies program at Colorado Mountain College serves as an example of how her articulated competency framework is being applied to evaluate and enhance curriculum and learning outcomes. The competency framework and pedagogical recommendations offered may also serve as roadmaps for educators at other institutions who prepare graduates to address the pressing challenges of sustainability evident in communities\, nations\, and the world. \nDr. Tina Lynn Evans is a Professor of Sustainability Studies at Colorado Mountain College (CMC) where she teaches in the Bachelor of Arts program in that field. She is also the author of Occupy Education: Living and Learning Sustainability (2012\, Peter Lang). Dr. Evans has led and participated in extensive course and program development efforts in environmental and sustainability studies for more than 15 years. She focuses much of her teaching on sustainability theory and practice\, socio-cultural aspects of sustainability\, sustainable economics\, energy issues in society\, permaculture design\, and career development in sustainability. Her recent publications focus on sustainability competencies and pedagogies\, sustainable leadership\, hope and agency in sustainability education\, and transdisciplinary theory and practice. Evans was awarded the 2017 Campus Sustainability Research Award from the Association for the Advancement of Sustainability in Higher Education for her article “Finding Heart: Generating and Maintaining Hope and Agency through Sustainability Education” (Journal of Sustainability Education\, November 2017). That same year\, she was also named college-wide faculty of the year at Colorado Mountain College. Evans also serves as the lead designer and implementer of the Bear Park Permaculture Center at the Steamboat Springs campus of CMC. Bear Park is a two-thirds acre site that serves as a living laboratory for permaculture\, sustainability studies\, environmental science\, culinary arts\, art\, and other academic programs.

SUMMARY:Samantha Power Former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations
DESCRIPTION:Celebrating its 20th anniversary\, WorldOregon’s International Speaker Series is one of the nation’s premier platforms for international affairs. For two decades\, the series has put you in the room with the global leaders\, visionaries\, and inspiring voices that are changing our world. And this year is no different\, presenting an array of the people\, the big ideas\, and the issues framing our role on the world stage. \nFORMER UN AMBASSADOR & PULITZER PRIZE WINNER\nWhat can one person do? At a crossroads of debate about our role on the global stage and polarizing politics at home\, Samantha Power explores this urgent question—delving into a call for a clearer eye\, a kinder heart\, and a more open and civil hand in our politics and daily lives. \nBiography \nFormer U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Samantha Power is a leading voice internationally for principled American engagement in the world. One of TIME’s “100 Most Influential People\,” she is a Pulitzer Prize-winning author\, war correspondent\, and the Anna Lindh Professor of Practice at Harvard Kennedy School and Harvard Law School. Her recently published book\, The Education of an Idealist\, chronicles her years in public service and reflects on the role of human rights and humanitarian ideals in contemporary geopolitics. \nPower spent half of her career explaining complex geopolitical events and eight years at the UN helping to shape them. As the 28th U.S. Ambassador to the UN\, Power became the public face of U.S. opposition to Russian aggression in Ukraine and Syria\, negotiated the toughest sanctions in a generation against North Korea\, lobbied to secure the release of political prisoners\, and helped mobilize global action against ISIL (ISIS). From 2009 to 2013\, she served on the National Security Council as Special Assistant to the President and Senior Director for Multilateral Affairs and Human Rights. Called “a powerful crusader for U.S. foreign policy as well as human rights and democracy” by Forbes\, Ambassador Power was named one of Foreign Policy’s “Top 100 Global Thinkers.” \nBefore joining the U.S. government\, Ambassador Power was the founding executive director of the Carr Center for Human Rights Policy at the Harvard Kennedy School\, a columnist for Time\, and a National Magazine Award-winning contributor to the Atlantic\, the New Yorker\, and the New York Review of Books. \nSERIES TICKETS\nSeries tickets are now on sale. Individual speaker tickets to Samantha Power go on sale January 17th.
