Perry\, Secretary of Defense in the Clinton administration and Undersecretary of Defense for Research and Engineering in the Carter administration\, and Tom Z. Collina\, the Director of Policy at Ploughshares Fund\, a global security foundation in Washington\, DC\, discuss the terrifying history of nuclear launch authority. \nRead More & Register

SUMMARY:Webcast: Oregon's Forests and the Fight Against Climate Change
DESCRIPTION:Forests are among the largest stores of living carbon on the planet\, and it turns out that the forests of western Oregon have a higher carbon density than almost any other forest type in the world. Unfortunately\, the destruction and mismanagement of these forests over the past century has transferred massive amounts of stored carbon to the atmosphere\, which has contributed significantly to the warming of the planet. \nWe can’t change the past\, but the policy choices we make today will either continue to make forests a part of the climate problem\, or ensure that they are part of the solution. \nJoin Felice Kelly\, co-lead of our Forest Defense team\, to learn about Climate\, Carbon\, and Oregon’s Forests\, and what we can do about it. \nDid you know that the State of Oregon owns and manages almost a million acres of public forestland? Oregon’s “State Forests” can play a major role in fighting climate change – both by sequestering large amounts of carbon\, and by mitigating the impacts of climate change – if the state shifts the management of these public lands to respond to the climate crisis. \nJoin us on Wednesday to hear about efforts to protect state-owned old-growth forests and transition the management of our State Forests towards more climate-smart forestry. Two community organizers from different corners of the state will be presenting\, and we’ll have for a Q&A afterwards. Hope you can join! \nREGISTER HERE. \nIMPORTANT: This presentation has a two-part registation process. If you do not complete the second step\, you will not receive information on accessing this presentation.

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:ACTION FOR CLIMATE EMPOWERMENT: BUILDING A U.S. NATIONAL PLAN
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for a series of dialogues to develop an Action for Climate Empowerment: Building a U.S. National Strategic Planning Framework. \n“Let’s get serious. We need more public engagement. We need more awareness. We need more accountability for those in public life who are making these decisions. … That’s really how simple it really is right now. … So\, my friends\, the component of ACE that is awareness and engagement is key to winning this fight.” \n— John Kerry \nUnder guidance from the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) Article 6\, nations are encouraged to develop their strategic plans to build public engagement\, education\, and participation in finding and implementing climate solutions. These actions\, referenced in Article 6 are more broadly known  as “Action for Climate Empowerment” (ACE). In the absence of an ACE strategic planning initiative by the U.S. federal government\, members of the nation’s ACE community who have deep experience in climate change  are advancing this important work by building a strategic planning framework to start the process. \nWe invite you to join your peers from across the wide range of ACE-relevant fields for dialogs that will inform the building of the strategic planning framework. The resulting framework\, which you and other experts will have the opportunity to review\, is intended to guide development of an ACE National Strategic Plan in 2021 as part of the United States’ next Nationally Determined Contribution to the Paris Climate Agreement. The plan will establish priorities for national policy and funding and foster productive collaborations on the regional\, national\, and international levels. When completed\, this process will yield the first ACE Strategic Plan produced by any major emitting country. \nClick HERE to register for this free event!

SUMMARY:Coping with Climate Anxiety in the Classroom and for Yourself: a Workshop for College & University Faculty
DESCRIPTION:This event takes place online on July 23 starting at 9 am Hawaii/ 12 noon Pacific/ 3 pm Eastern/ 8 pm Central European Time.\n  \nThe 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. \nThis event is Deeper Dive of the workshops from April\, May and June (but everyone is welcome to attend)\, in which we will continue to learn from each other and build a set of practices that work in a higher education setting. \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. \nRegister today Deadline is July 22. Contact Krista Hiser with questions. \n

SUMMARY:First Creation Justice webinar
DESCRIPTION:Join us for our first webinar on creation justice in Oregon on Wednesday\, July 22\, 7-8:30 p.m.! \nCaring for creation is intimately linked to racial justice\, and the public health and economic connections between air pollution\, the current pandemic\, and racial inequities are also staggering. \nTherefore\, this webinar will showcase the work of the Portland Harbor Community Coalition (PHCC).\n\nFounded in 2012\, the PHCC is a group of individual community groups elevating the most-impacted groups (Native Americans\, African-Americans/Black\, immigrants\, and houseless) in the billion-dollar federal cleanup of the 11-mile Willamette River Superfund site\, Portland Harbor.\n\nWe hope to see you there\, follow this link to register.
