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: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. Michele has long experience with engagement and action in rural communities across the U.S. and has recently worked with rural communities and researchers on community-driven COVID-19 responses. See her LinkedIn profile. \nSESSION DATES AND TIMES\nFour weekly sessions: \nThursdays – September 17 – October 8\, 2020 \n11 a.m.-12 p.m. PT/2-3 p.m. ET \nMORE DETAILS\n\n\nSessions available for replay in case you need to miss a session or want to review. \n\n\n\n\n$340 early registration discount through Aug. 31\, $425 regular course fee. \n\n\nDiscounts for multiple participants from the same organization: \n\n\n$290 each for 2-4 participants \n\n\n$250 each for 5 or more \n\n\n\n\nLearn More & Register Here

SUMMARY:Global Conference on Sustainability in Higher Education - Registration Now Open!
DESCRIPTION:The Association for the Advancement of Sustainability in Higher Education’s (AASHE’s) Global Conference on Sustainability in Higher Education is the largest stage to exchange effective models\, policies\, research\, collaborations and transformative actions that advance sustainability in higher education and surrounding communities. \n\n\n\n\nHumanity faces a series of intensifying and interrelated social and ecological crises.

We seek to encourage higher education sustainability leaders to reflect and act on the Just Transition Principles articulated by the Climate Justice Alliance and to spotlight inspirational examples of institutions championing this work. \nRegister before the 31st of July to save $25! Ticket costs vary by country.
