SUMMARY:Two Years of Justice40: How the Initiative is delivering solutions to the climate crisis
DESCRIPTION:President Biden has made addressing environmental injustices a priority by centering justice in his actions to address the climate crisis in the U.S. and abroad. A central pillar of the environmental justice agenda is the Justice40 Initiative\, the first-ever federal environmental justice commitment attached to the goal of directing at least 40% of benefits to communities that have been disadvantaged\, marginalized\, underserved\, and overburdened by pollution. \nThe Justice40 initiative put a new spotlight on the historic inequities faced by frontline communities\, the impact the climate crisis has on their future\, and the opportunity to create a transformational clean energy economy that is inclusive of all Americans. The Initiative is being implemented using a “whole-of-government” approach that directs agencies to restructure how they operate\, redesign their strategies\, and be accountable for delivering on the administration’s goal. Currently\, 16 agencies have announced hundreds of programs now covered under the Justice40 Initiative. The policy promises to address environmental justice through major legislation\, including the Inflation Reduction Act\, the CHIPS and Science Act\, and the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law. \nWith billions of dollars in climate investment flowing to states and local communities\, how well has the Initiative delivered on its environmental justice goals? What is the public understanding of and engagement with Justice40? How are federal agencies collaborating with state and local policymakers to ensure alignment with Justice40 goals in implementation? What are the benefits being delivered to communities and how are agencies calculating those benefits? And what role can local leaders\, businesses and households play in advancing Justice40? \nJoin World Resources Institute on February 28\, for a conversation with Matthew Tejada\, Deputy Assistant Administrator for Environmental Justice at the Office of Environmental Justice and External Civil Rights\, and Carla Walker\, Director\, Environmental Justice and Equity at WRI United States. We’ll explore the above questions\, discuss how the Justice40 Initiative is transforming the climate landscape and the environmental justice movement\, discuss how benefits are reaching disadvantaged and historically marginalized communities\, and explore what more can be done to fully realize an equitable clean energy economy for all. The conversation will be followed by a panel of experts working to ensure environmental justice at state and local levels and the non-profit sector. \nREGISTER HERE \nFeatured Speaker:\nMatthew Tejada\, Deputy Assistant Administrator for Environmental Justice\, Office of Environmental Justice and External Civil Rights \nSpeakers\nJulia Jeanty\, Senior Policy Manager\, Data for Progress \nColleen Callahan\, Co-Executive Director\, Luskin Center for Innovation at UCLA \nNaadiya Hutchinson\, Government Affairs Manager\, WE ACT for Environmental Justice \nDan Lashof\, Director\, United States\, World Resources Institute \nCarla Walker\, Director of Environmental Justice and Equity\, United States\, World Resources Institute (Moderator)

SUMMARY:Vital Matters: Jainism and Ecology
DESCRIPTION:Drawing inspiration from the sacred landscapes depicted on devotional textiles presented in Visualizing Devotion: Jain Embroidered Shrine Hangings\, Venu Mehta will discuss intersections of ascetic principles\, spirituality and sociocentric environmentalism in the twenty-five-hundred-year-old tradition of Jainism. Highlighting nonviolence as the path to liberation\, Jain principles offer an important worldview of environmental activism.  \nREGISTER HERE \nThis event is co-sponsored by the UCLA Center of India and South Asian Studies and the Center for the Study of Religion and generously supported by a grant from Lilly Endowment Inc.  \nVenu Mehta is Bhagwan Chandraprabhu Postdoctoral Fellow in Jain Studies and assistant professor of comparative religions at Claremont School of Theology. Her research focuses on the devotional practices\, literature\, and iconography of the Jaina goddess Padmāvatī\, with special attention to vernacular and regional forms of devotion and goddesses in Jainism. Her areas of scholarship in Jain studies include Jain religious diaspora and sectarian negotiations in the USA; Jainism and ecology; Jain bhakti literature and practices in Gujarat; Jaina theory of Anekāntavāda; and the Jaina notion of forgiveness.  \nVital Matters programs explore objects that arouse devotion\, awe\, or serenity; mediate relationships between human and spiritual realms; and are of vital importance to the cultural heritage of individuals and communities. This series accompanies the new digital educational initiative Vital Matters: Stories of Belief—a platform for sharing different perspectives on devotional works at the Fowler Museum.
