SUMMARY:Enjoy a relaxing float down the Sandy River while collecting litter along its banks.
DESCRIPTION:Enjoy a relaxing float down the Sandy River while collecting litter along its banks. This event is a one part relaxing float\, one part exciting scavenger hunt! \nAt 10am\, we’ll gather at Dabney State Recreation Area (using physical distancing) for a short introduction & safety talk. Then we’ll launch our rafts\, kayaks\, and other watercraft into the Sandy! Floaters will stop at various beaches along the river to collect litter\, sometimes working as a team\, for example\, to dig something exciting out of the sand. Who knows what you’ll find! Floaters can expect to arrive at Lewis & Clark State Recreation Area (L&C) around 3pm. \nThis year we’re introducing a Land Litter Team\, where you can participate from the comfort of your own two feet! This group will collect litter at a local recreation area. Youth between 10-17 are also very welcome and must be accompanied by an adult. See ticket options below. \nThis Floating Cleanup is the culmination of our 2nd summer of the “Stash the Trash” program\, a DIY cleanup program at 5 lower Sandy parks. These mesh garbage bags make it easy to ‘pack it out’ while you have fun in the water. \n\n\n\nThere are 4 ticket options. You can register as an ‘individual’\, or if you have multiple people in your group\, you can register as a ‘team’. \n\nReserve a paddle in a 4-6 person raft\nReserve a paddle in a 1-person inflatable kayak (limited availability)\nBYOWC (Bring Your Own Water Craft)\, i.e. you’re bringing your own water craft (kayak\, raft\, tube\, boat\, floatie!) paddle\, and personal flotation device (PPD– or life jacket– is mandatory for everyone).\nLand litter team: collect litter at a local recreation area in a more traditional land-based crew.\n\nTo minimize the potential spread of COVID-19\, participants in each raft (borrowed AND BYO) need to be in the same COVID exposure circle (or “household”). Household groups using a raft provided by Stout Creek Outfitters will float with a masked river guide (guide sits at rear as approved by OR State Marine Board Guidelines). If you have less than 4 people in your household\, please reserve a kayak paddle\, or BYOWC! Thank you for cooperating with this new logistical safety detail. \nIf you’re registering for more than one person\, Click the “Tickets” button\, then choose\, “I want to get tickets as a team member” & make up a team name (or join an existing team). In the order form\, you will be prompted to add your guests’ names & ages. \n\n\n\nSuggested donation: $3-50 per person. Your donation gets you a free parking pass at Dabney! Any additional funds donated support this event and the ongoing operations of the Sandy River Watershed Council. \nMoney or credit-card access shouldn’t be a barrier to participating: contact Katelyn at katelyn@sandyriver.org for sliding scale or card-free options or any other questions. \n\n\n\nBig thank you to our funder\, the City of Troutdale\, and to our partners: Oregon State Parks\, SOLVE\, & Stout Creek Outfitters. \nWe look forward to seeing you on the river! \nRegistration Details Here.

SUMMARY:Online Climate Action and COVID recovery course
DESCRIPTION:CLIMATE ACTION & COVID-19 RECOVERY — PRACTICAL RESILIENCE STEPS FOR RURAL COMMUNITIES\nShepherding\, organizing and sustaining climate action in rural communities can be a challenge at any time. This is essential work with lots of rewards\, but the challenges are undeniable. Now\, with many rural communities facing COVID-19 health and economic disruptions\, uncertainty about how to carry on business and community life safely\, and looming budget cuts\, many rural climate leaders want to be part of a forward-thinking response that also addresses climate change. \nRural areas face their own challenges and bring their own strengths to the efforts to recover\, rebuild\, reimagine and become more resilient. Rural economies were the hardest hit by the 2008 recession and the slowest to recover. In many places\, the compounding forces of race\, poverty\, and geographic isolation hit hard and could also be seen in the immediate and looming threats of climate change\, even before the coronavirus pandemic put health\, economic\, and racial disparities in the spotlight. \nThis course will help you make climate and resiliency action integral to community recovery even if your town seems too small to make much of an impact or take the reins; even if there is a lot of competition for time\, attention and funds; and even if no one seems to know (or agree on) what to do next. With a focus on what we call “practical resilience\,” this course will help you determine how your community can use its resources to prepare for\, respond and withstand the twin challenges of COVID-19 and climate change\, and at the same time build a better place to live for all of your residents. \nIn this course\, you will: \n\n\nLearn practical ways to understand your community’s systems\, map resources\, and identify opportunities. \n\n\n\n\nLearn proven approaches for building awareness and participation\, designing community climate and resilience solutions\, and taking action together\, including ways to work with political division\, resistance or inertia. \n\n\nAccess templates and examples from other small towns and rural communities for taking action on common leverage points including local food systems\, health care and access\, active transportation and recreation\, community cohesiveness\, and energy self-sufficiency. \n\n\nLearn from peers in other communities about engaging rural communities in resilience solutions. \n\n\nWHO IS THIS FOR?\nCivic groups • Business & economic development leaders • Concerned residents • Elected officials • Conservation organizations • Community organizers • Environmental educators and EE organizations • Extension & community development professionals • High school and college students • Community health groups • COVID response organizers • Climate action leaders • Consultants \nCOURSE INSTRUCTOR\nMichele Archie\, Harbinger principal and co-author of Climate Choices: How Should We Meet the Challenges of a Warming Planet? and the accompanying facilitator guide.

SUMMARY:What has COVID-19 taught us? “Build Back Better” in the Era of Sustainable Development
DESCRIPTION:UNESCO recently released its Education for Sustainable Development for 2030 framework – ‘Education for Sustainable Development: Towards achieving the SDGs’ urges us to reflect on our past actions and re-focus on achieving the SDGs. The panel will take the main principles from the UNESCO report and will invite various stakeholders to reflect on their practices over the past COVID-19 period and discuss how their practices have changed over this course. \nKey questions that will shape the discussion are- What have we learned from COVID-19 and how does our learning transform into informed practices towards sustainable development? Given the ever-changing education policy due to COVID-19\, the panel will focus on sustainability practices at schools and at homes that continue to neglected. For example\, food wastage\, energy wastage\, plastic pollution\, air travel\, and carbon emissions. This panel will help to reflect on building back better keeping sustainability as a lens. Teachers could reflect on the curriculum in school\, parents reflect on sustainability practices at home and with their children. Academics and scholars provide a critical perspective on UNESCO’s 2030 framework and suggest the next steps. Practitioners narrate how this past experience has shaped-up their implementation on the ground. Policymakers reflect on the policy gaps. \n\nThe panel will highlight discussion points that will help to “Build Back Better” keeping sustainability in mind. It will provide a critical perspective as well as concrete steps forward to make this planet a more equitable place to inhabit. It will reflect on gaps and turn them into opportunities to reflect and take action on. The participants will leave the discussion with clear ideas and objectives on how they can recover from this pandemic with a concrete vision for a sustainable future. \nRegister: HERE

SUMMARY:Making Cities Resilient: Developing Local DRR and Resilience Strategies
DESCRIPTION:Over the past 20 years\, disasters have affected 4.4 billion people\,\ncaused USD 2 trillion of damage\, and killed 1.3 million people. Disasters have affected people living in developing countries and\, in particular\, the most vulnerable communities within these countries. \nParticularly in the context of increased urbanization\, the urban risk continues to rise. The vulnerability of cities to disasters is growing especially as poor people settle in high-risk urban areas. Unfortunately\, the planning and development of cities have given little consideration to the consequences of hazards such as earthquakes\, hydro-meteorological risks\, and others. The implication of this reality is the need for countries to focus on creating a safer world for urban dwellers and developing a series of innovative approaches to build resilience. \nThis e-learning course aims to strengthen the capacities of government professionals to design and implement plans and programs that reduce disaster risk and enhance resilience. \nCourse begins 14 September 2020 for the duration of 12 weeks. The price is $100.00 and the course will be discussing the Decentralize Cooperation Programme\, the environment\, climate change\, governance and local development. To be facilitated by the United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction (UNDRR) \nClick here to register and for more information: https://www.unitar.org/event/full-catalog/making-cities-resilient-developing-local-disaster-risk-reduction-and-resilience-0

SUMMARY:UNESCO World Conference on ESD - Pre-conference workshops
DESCRIPTION:Join UNESCO for a global series of online workshops on how to transform society through learning with Education for Sustainable Development (ESD)\, launching in September 2020. The COVID-19 pandemic has had a tragic impact on human life around the world: killing hundreds of thousands of people\, causing global economic decline and school closures in over 180 countries. It has challenged the structures of our societies and our ways of life. This disruption also presents a historic chance to redesign our societies and reroute from the current path. UNESCO’s Assistant Director-General for Education\, Stefania Giannini\, has called upon governments to “build back better”\, and change education to meet the climate emergency through Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) and the Agenda 2030. ESD reassesses what we learn\, where we learn and how we learn to ensure we develop the knowledge\, skills\, values and attitudes that enable us to make informed decisions and actions on global problems such as the climate crisis and the COVID-19 crisis. \n\n\n\nTransforming learning to transform societies towards sustainability is the aim of the ESD for 2030 framework. This roadmap for ESD in 2020-2030 will be officially launched at the UNESCO World Conference on ESD taking place on 17-19 May 2021\, in Berlin\, Germany. In the lead-up to the World Conference\, UNESCO invite you to a series of ESD online workshops in cooperation with the Federal Ministry of Education and Research of Germany\, and with the German Commission for UNESCO as advisory partner. The discussions and results from the series of online workshops will be used to further develop the conference program and help shape the agenda in Berlin next year. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nUPCOMING WORKSHOPS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n#1: The big conversation: ESD and the world beyond Covid-19\n9 September 2020\, 12:30 GMT+2  (3:30 am Pacific) \nCOVID-19 has challenged many aspects of our lives\, but also provided an opportunity for global change.
