SUMMARY:Zero Carbon Conference
DESCRIPTION:We are living in an unprecedented\, critical moment to take intentional and equitable action on the climate crisis. With less than a decade to achieve sustainable development goals\, collaboration is imperative to scaling our impact. We can jump-start this impact with a focus on four areas: \n\nEmbodied Carbon\nOperational Carbon\nZero for All\nFinancing the Future of Zero Carbon Communities\n\nThe Zero Carbon Conference will respond to this need and forge a collaboration of our community of architects\, designers\, engineers\, contractors\, and responsible manufacturers–along with ESG investors and developers who are taking active steps to accelerate the decarbonization of the built environment. \nThrough keynotes\, plenaries\, panel sessions and 1:1 networking opportunities\, practitioners and funders will come together to advance these initiatives around operational + embodied carbon reduction\, cost-benefit analysis\, and community resources to achieve an equitable decarbonized future. The Zero Carbon Conference will deliver the technology\, the materials\, the know-how\, and the financing models needed to pave the way for scalable decarbonized global communities. \nREGISTER HERE

SUMMARY:CA Clean Air Day
DESCRIPTION:  \nOn this day of action\, we encourage you to pledge to take action and consider using alternative transportation for your work commute and learn more about how pollution affects both individual and community health. \nWe will also host a lunchtime panel tomorrow\, Oct. 7 at 12pm. Two UCLA experts – Ann Carlson\, and Chris Cooper\, MD – will discuss the history of air pollution in LA and its effects on lung health. Please use this link to join. \nUCLA Health is committed to sustainability and reducing our carbon footprint\, especially in these times of unprecedented wildfires. \n\nWe recently added two new all-electric buses with a total fleet of three and will continue to install new electric vehicle (EV) charging stations.\nWe are purchasing 100-percent renewable energy for our Santa Monica campus through the Clean Power Alliance.\nAdditionally\, our Rideshare Program offers incentives for using alternative transportation and the Earn-A-Bike program\, a partnership with UCLA Transportation\, provides eligible staff members with the opportunity to swap their parking permit for a $450 bicycle package.\n\nMore than 650\,000 people participated in the 2019 California Clean Air Day\, and officials anticipate that number will increase again this year. \n

SUMMARY:Climate Policy is Health Policy: Making Your Case with a Powerful Online Modeling Tool
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER HERE\nThis webinar will teach climate and health advocates how to use a free\, easy-to-use\, online modeling tool to demonstrate the vital importance of climate and energy policy for protecting public health and reducing premature death. Participants will get an advance look at the newly updated model with added public health capabilities. \n• Sarah Spengeman\, Deputy Director of Communications\, Energy Innovation (moderator)\n• Adrienne Hollis\, Senior Climate and Health Scientist\, Union of Concerned Scientists\n• Jeffrey Rissman\, Head of Modeling\, Energy Innovation\n• Neelu Tummala\, Otolaryngologist and Clinical Assistant Professor of Surgery\, George Washington University School of Medicine and Health Sciences \nThe Energy Policy Simulator empowers advocates to model 80 different climate and clean energy policies’ (e.g.\, carbon tax\, vehicle emissions standards\, energy-efficient building codes) ability to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and conventional pollutants such as NOx\, SOx\, and PM 2.5. The model also forecasts how reducing pollution lowers morbidity and premature mortality\, while strengthening the economy and creating jobs. \nAdvocates will learn how the Energy Policy Simulator can educate policymakers and the public on the potential for ambitious clean energy and climate policy solutions to reduce planet-warming emissions\, while dramatically reducing pollutants that contribute to respiratory disease\, heart disease\, and premature death. \nArmed with clear and compelling data\, illustrated by interactive graphs\, climate and health advocates can effectively communicate why strong climate policies are a “win-win” for health and jobs. \nThis webinar is jointly sponsored by the American Public Health Association\, Energy Innovation\, and the Medical Society Consortium on Climate and Health. \nSpeakers\n\n \n\nAdrienne Hollis\nSenior Climate Justice and Health Scientist @Union of Concerned Scientists\nAdrienne L. Hollis is the Senior Climate Justice and Health Scientist at the Union of Concerned Scientists. In that role\, she leads the development\, design\, and implementation of methods for accessing and documenting the health impacts of climate change on communities of color and other traditionally disenfranchised groups. Dr. Hollis works with environmental justice communities to identify priority health concerns related to climate change and other environmental assaults\, and evaluates climate and energy policy approaches for their ability to effectively address climate change and benefit underserved communities. She earned a BS in biology from Jackson State University\, a PhD in biomedical sciences from Meharry Medical College\, a JD from Rutgers University School of Law\, and completed postdoctoral studies at Harvard University School of Public Health.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\nJeffrey Rissman\nHead of Modeling and Industry Program Director @Energy Innovation\nJeffrey Rissman is the Industry Program Director and Head of Modeling at Energy Innovation\, and leads the company’s work on technologies and policies to achieve zero net greenhouse gas emissions from the industry sector. He is also the originator and developer of the Energy Policy Simulator\, an open-source computer model that quantifies the effects of various energy and environmental policies in combination\, predicting outputs such as fuel use\, pollutant emissions\, financial cost or savings\, electric vehicle deployment\, power sector structure\, and more. Versions of the simulator have been developed for an ever-growing list of countries and regions\, in partnership with in-country government agencies or NGOs\, accounting for more than 50 percent of the world’s emissions. Jeff holds an M.S. in Environmental Sciences and Engineering and a Masters in City and Regional Planning\, both from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\nDr. Neelu Tummala\nPhysician and Clinical Assistant Professor of Surgery @George Washington School of Medicine and Health Sciences\nDr. Neelu Tummala is a physician and clinical assistant professor of surgery at the George Washington University School of Medicine and Health Sciences. She is a climate advocate with a special interest in the intersection of climate and health\, and is an avid speaker and writer on this issue. She is on the Steering Committee for Virginia Clinicians for Climate Action and on the Board for the Faith Alliance for Climate Solutions. She is a trained Climate Reality Leader and works with The Medical Society Consortium on Climate and Health\, the Union of Concerned Scientists\, and Environment America as a volunteer activist and educator.
