SUMMARY:Adaptation and Community Resilience
DESCRIPTION:Hosted by the UCLA Ziman Center for Real Estate’s Housing as Health Care Initiative\, UCLA Center for Healthy Climate Solutions and the Center for Impact@Anderson. \nREGISTER HERE\nWith an increasingly urgent need to adapt to our changing climate\, the built environment offers unique opportunities for programs and new practices that can protect and improve human health. In order to effectively capitalize on these opportunities\, it is critical to engage stakeholders from real estate\, development\, public health\, public policy\, climate adaptation\, and other industries. The challenges – such as more frequent and severe heat waves\, wildfires\, hurricanes\, and floods — can be destructive to the built environment\, harm human health\, and displace communities. However\, the solutions offered by intersectoral work can be cost effective\, simple\, and innovative. Through discussion and collaboration\, implementing these types of solutions can add value to real communities\, increase resilience\, and improve quality of life. \nThe second installment in this series will highlight best practices\, programs and policies for climate adaptation and community resilience through the built environment\, and discuss the process for implementing them. Panelists will discuss not only their current projects and opportunities in response to the climate crisis\, but also provide an overview of building strategies that increase resilience. Each of these topics will be linked back to human health and social equity. \nSpeakers are: \n– Brian Cole\, DrPH\, Assistant Professor\, Environmental Health Sciences\, UCLA Fielding School of Public Health (Moderator)\n– Sara Neff\, Head of Sustainability\, Lendlease Americas\n– Jonathan Parfrey\, Executive Director\, Climate Resolve\n– Ben Stapleton\, Executive Director\, U.S. Green Building Council – Los Angeles

SUMMARY:Climate Lyricism with Min Hyoung Song
DESCRIPTION:In Climate Lyricism\, Min Hyoung Song articulates a climate change-centered reading practice that foregrounds how climate is present in most literature. Song shows how literature\, poetry\, and essays by Tommy Pico\, Solmaz Sharif\, Frank O’Hara\, Ilya Kaminsky\, Claudia Rankine\, Kazuo Ishiguro\, Teju Cole\, Richard Powers\, and others help us to better grapple with our everyday encounters with climate change and its disastrous effects\, which are inextricably linked to the legacies of racism\, colonialism\, and extraction. These works employ what Song calls climate lyricism—a mode of address in which a first-person “I” speaks to a “you” about how climate change thoroughly shapes daily life. The relationship between “I” and “you” in this lyricism\, Song contends\, affects the ways readers comprehend the world\, fostering a model of shared agency from which it can become possible to collectively and urgently respond to the catastrophe of our rapidly changing climate. In this way\, climate lyricism helps to ameliorate the sense of being overwhelmed and feeling unable to do anything to combat climate change. \nMin Hyoung Song is Professor of English and Director of the Asian American Studies Program at Boston College\, as well as a steering committee member of Environmental Studies and an affiliated faculty member of African and African Diaspora Studies. He is the author of three books: Climate Lyricism (Duke\, 2022)\, The Children of 1965: On Writing\, and Not Writing\, as an Asian American (Duke\, 2013) and Strange Future: Pessimism and the 1992 Los Angeles Riots (Duke\, 2005). \nREGISTER HERE\n
