There is an urgent need for cities to better prepare themselves to withstand the adverse impact of these disasters which can enable an effective recovery and minimize losses. \nIn the Bordeaux region in France\, one-fourth of its habitable area is below the river’s high-water line\, exposing the Bordeaux Metropolitan Area to a dual risk of flooding from the sea and the river. As in many cities worldwide\, in Bordeaux floods have been increasing in frequency and intensity since the 1980s. Meanwhile\, cities in the USA have vast experience addressing and recovering from large-scale disasters\, having faced and dealt with the consequences of extreme events like hurricanes and wildfires frequently. \nPlanning for effective post-disaster recovery can help cities set the path for a safer\, resilient and sustainable future. It is crucial that we bring together cities to share their experience and lessons learned in their post disaster recovery efforts\, and how those can shape cities to plan and build back better. \nThe fifth session of the Cities on the Frontline Speaker Series 2023\, with the support of the Embassy of the United States of America\, France\, and in collaboration with partners France Ville Durable and the World Bank\, will focus on “Post Disaster Resilience and Recovery”. \nBy bringing together New Orleans and the Bordeaux Metropolitan Region\, we’re taking a deeper look at how cities can learn from each other and ensure that everyone\, especially vulnerable and marginalized groups\, have the ability to recover from severe disasters as well as how cities rebuild and strengthen their systems\, policies and infrastructure. \nAustin Feldbaum\, Hazard Mitigation Director from the City of New Orleans\, will join us to share their learnings on recovery and how they reconceived their city’s strategies after disasters. Valérie Sabéran\, Climate Risk and Resilience Director from the Bordeaux Metropolitan Area\, will share more about how the metropolis is committed more than ever to strengthening their flood management strategy as well as efforts to address climate change and learning from their past experiences with severe flooding. \nREGISTER HERE URL:https://sustain.ucla.edu/event/post-disaster-resilience-and-recovery-learning-from-disasters-and-creating-safer-cities/ LOCATION:Online ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://sustain.ucla.edu/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/cities-frontline.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20230525T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20230525T130000 DTSTAMP:20260525T165009 CREATED:20230524T052324Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230524T052324Z UID:18335-1685005200-1685019600@sustain.ucla.edu SUMMARY:Sandwiches 4 Smiles DESCRIPTION:THIS THURSDAY is the quarterly Sandwiches for Smiles\, located at Bruin Plaza from 9am-1pm.

DESCRIPTION:Join Capitol Weekly for a conference examining California’s climate goals – specifically the plan to move beyond gas-powered vehicles. ROADMAP 2035: Cars\, Carbon and Climate Change – How Do We Meet California’s Zero Emissions Goals? will be held on Thursday\, May 25\, 2023\, in Sacramento. A remote-viewing Zoom option is available HERE. \nSPACE IS LIMITED – CLICK HERE TO REGISTER FOR THE LIVE EVENT \nBy 2035 all new passenger cars\, trucks and SUVs sold in California must be zero emissions. California’s Advanced Clean Cars II regulations will rapidly scale down light-duty passenger car\, pickup truck and SUV emissions starting with the 2026 model year. \nAnd\, it’s not just happening in California. In March\, the European Union announced a law to end sales of new CO2-emitting cars in 2035. Multiple states\, including Oregon have similar mandates in place\, and the Environmental Protection Agency has proposed new rules that could require up to two-thirds of all new cars sold in the US by 2032 to be zero emission vehicles. \nDespite these ambitious goals\, major challenges remain. Public acceptance of EVs is growing\, but not at the rate needed to meet the mandate. And\, the state’s electrical grid is barely able to meet peak demand now; what happens when the average Californian is driving a plug-in? We’ll look at these questions and many more. \nClick here to view an event program\, with profiles of speakers and other details. \nThe Keynote Speaker is Alice Busching Reynolds\, President of the California Public Utilities Commission\, in conversation with Rich Ehisen\, Capitol Weekly. \n9:30 AM\, PANEL 1 – The Technology: How We Get There \nJacquelyn Birdsall\, Toyota; Steve Douglas\, Alliance for Automotive Innovation; Quentin Gee\, California Energy Commission; Orville Thomas\, CALSTART \nModerated by Alejandro Lazo\, CalMatters \n10:45 AM\, PANEL 2 – What Now: Timelines and Implementation \nDr. Jen Gress\, California Air Resources Board; Kip Lipper\, Policy Advisor to the Sen.

What do we see when we look down? Grass growing in the cracks of freeway pavements\, and plants taking root in the little crevices of buildings and alleys. \nMonica L. Smith\, an archaeologist and member of the Institute of the Environment and Sustainability at UCLA\, takes us on a photographic journey to the world of vibrant and resilient vegetation underfoot. She shows us how an artist’s eye resides within all of us\, enabling us to see what we usually filter out of our perception as we traverse the streets of Los Angeles. \nThe exhibit coincides with the release of her edited volume\, The Power of Nature\, published by the University Press of Colorado and featuring a number of UCLA authors.
