SUMMARY:Low-Emission Zone Programs: Accelerating Sustainable Urban Mobility
DESCRIPTION:As cities plan to evolve their Sustainability Action Plans\, novel mobility programs are emerging worldwide to influence driving behavior at scale. Low-emission zone programs are one such tool and work by using a combination of rules and incentives to encourage the use of low-emission vehicles in loading zones and other areas. Often\, these programs leverage hardware (like cameras and sensors)\, software\, data\, and other digital tools like the Open Mobility Foundation’s Mobility Data Specification (MDS) and Curb Data Specification (CDS) to set and communicate policies\, manage compliance\, and calculate metrics. In this roundtable\, we will hear about the opportunities and challenges of starting such a program from cities that have either already installed one or are working to implement one soon. \nJoin the Open Mobility Foundation (OMF) and POLIS Network for a 1.5-hour webinar to discuss how cities have or are planning to run a low-emission zone program in their city as part of their Sustainability Action Plan. Together\, we will learn about the benefits and challenges that this brings\, the cost and time involved in starting such a program\, the lessons learned\, and the metrics needed to track success. \nSpeakers include: \n\nAngela Giacchetti\, OMF (Moderator)\nIvo Cré\, POLIS Network (Moderator)\nJacob Sherman\, Portland Bureau of Transportation (PBOT)\nJosette Vallentgoed-Udo\, City of Amsterdam\nJordi Jové Palou\, AMB (Barcelona Metropolitan Area)\nKelly Ferguson\, Automotus\nLauren Harper\, LA Cleantech Incubator (LACI)\n\n  \nREGISTER HERE

SUMMARY:Embracing Transparency and Accountability to Achieve Net Zero without Greenwashing or Greenhushing
DESCRIPTION:The Climate Registry is committed to supporting climate leaders working towards net-zero targets with its Net-Zero Portal. They believe information is power and the more we can be transparent about our targets and the pathways we’re taking to get there\, while showing the data to back up these claims\, the more we can hold others accountable and promote momentum towards net zero. \nREGISTER HERE

SUMMARY:Funding Opportunities from DOE to Advance Climate Solutions
DESCRIPTION:A webinar brought to you by AASHE\, Second Nature\, and the Office of State and Community Energy Programs (SCEP) at the Department of Energy.   \nHigher education institutions are at the center of many communities\, and many campus sustainability efforts are deeply connected to the surrounding community. The Department of Energy’s Office of State and Community Energy Programs (SCEP) has several programs that provide funding and technical assistance to support climate solutions in communities. \nJoin a webinar to learn more about these funding opportunities. Campus sustainability and climate champions\, researchers\, and community engagement staff will also hear about strategies for collaborating with state and local governments. Presenters include Meghan Fay Zahniser\, Executive Director\, Association for the Advancement of Sustainability in Higher Education (AASHE); Christine Knapp\, SCEP; and Cynthia McCoy\, GISP\, Federal Engagement Director\, USDN. \nREGISTER HERE

SUMMARY:Sci-Arc Graduate Thesis Symposium: Ecological Aesthetics
DESCRIPTION:In 2001\, the British multinational oil and gas company BP Amoco rebranded itself as “Beyond Petroleum\,” abandoning its original name “British Petroleum.” Its logo was changed from a dark green shield (reminiscent of British racing green) lined in gold to a lighter green symbol of a sun\, consisting of an inner gold layer\, a lighter green middle layer\, and a darker green outer layer matching its previous shield. Following this rebranding effort\, communicating a commitment to renewable energy and environmental responsibility\, came the massive 2006 pipeline spill in Alaska and the catastrophic 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil rig explosion that resulted in the largest marine oil spill in history. \nNumerous other examples can easily be cited of similarly contradictory\, paradoxical\, and agonizing “greenwashing” strategies in recent times. Is the “green” aesthetic a distraction masking a continuation of modern technics and its extractive logics? Despite the obviousness of the need to call bullshit on such corporate rebranding efforts\, it is nonetheless surprising that aesthetics can even be projected onto the ecological at all and bears some consideration. What are the effects of aesthetics on our sustainable practices? Are green aesthetics singular or plural? Are we sure its influence is positive? Are there alternative aesthetics we haven’t considered yet? \nThis symposium will consider some of the history behind the green aesthetic and the complex relationship between culture and material practice underlying its appearance during the late Modernist period. We will assume that there are alternative ecological aesthetics possible and examine what it might look like. In the looming environment crisis\, can the designers inspire new possibilities with new ecological aesthetics? \nPanelists \nDavid Ruy\nPostgraduate Programs Chair\, moderator \nEnric Ruiz-Geli\nFaculty MS Synthetic Landscapes \nTimothy Morton\nFaculty MS Synthetic Landscapes \nShuruq Tramontini\nFaculty MS Fiction & Entertainment \nGraduate Thesis at SCI-Arc is an opportunity for M.Arch students to explore a set of relevant disciplinary issues as they complete their programs of study and research with a presentation and public exhibition of an individual disciplinary position that expands the boundaries of contemporary architectural practice.
