One of the defining features of ‘informality’ in settlements has been their lack of access to basic services. This seminar complicates that discussion by asking how to marry the concerns of sustainability and steady electricity provision in informal urban settlements. Dr. Mensah will present his research on electricity provision in Accra’s slums\, while Dr. Kitio will focus on the overall macro picture of fitting sustainability into service provision in informal settlements of the global south. In particular\, the seminar features research conducted by Eugenie L. Birch\, co-Director of Penn’s Institute for Urban Research\, and James Mensah entitled “Powering the Slum” and funded by the Kleinman Centre for Energy Policy at the University of Pennsylvania. \nThe “Conversations on Informality” Seminar Series of the Penn IUR Forum on Urban Informality bring together leading scholars and practitioners for an exchange across academic disciplines and in policy. \nThis event is a part of Energy Week at Penn\, a week of energy-focused events across Penn’s campus.

However\, many environmental and climate justice advocates point to the harmful impacts CCS technologies have on our communities. \nSpeakers will also discuss how CCS fits into the current landscape of federal funding opportunities and what EJ communities can expect with increased support for this technology. Lastly\, they will examine if we can save the planet without CCS and what options are available as potential alternatives to this solution. \nREGISTER HERE URL:https://sustain.ucla.edu/event/webinar-carbon-capture-and-storage-and-what-it-means-for-environmental-justice/ LOCATION:Online ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://sustain.ucla.edu/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/jsc-ccs.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20230315T140000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20230315T180000 DTSTAMP:20260403T164807 CREATED:20230309T184838Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230309T184838Z UID:17212-1678888800-1678903200@sustain.ucla.edu SUMMARY:UCLA Farmers Market DESCRIPTION:Biweekly market (last market of the quarter) with fresh produce and local farmers in Bruin Plaza!

By comparison\, little attention has been paid to biohydrogen (Bio-H2)\, a type of hydrogen produced from organic waste streams (e.g.\, agricultural waste). \nPlease join the Center on Global Energy Policy at Columbia University’s School of International and Public Affairs to discuss key findings from its latest report on hydrogen\, The Potential Role of Biohydrogen in the Net-Zero World: The Production and Applications of Carbon-Negative Hydrogen.

REGISTER HERE. \nToday\, the solid waste landfills sector accounts for 20% of global methane emissions\, and is the third largest source of anthropogenic methane emissions in the United States. Additionally\, it is anticipated that the total generation of municipal solid waste (MSW) will increase by 70% by 2050 as a result of a growing population. This increase in waste generation has the potential to drive a proportionate increase in landfill gas (LFG)\, which is primarily methane and carbon dioxide (CO2) — the two greatest contributors to global warming. \nAs two large economies\, China and California are now taking actions to reduce methane emissions from the solid waste sector. Since different policies and technologies are adopted in the two jurisdictions\, both sides can share lessons-learned and experiences with one another. Join us to hear from issue-experts on these topics\, including about the launch of a new California-China Climate Institute report which focuses on lessons-learned from California. \nAgenda \n5:00 PT Discussion is Opened by Moderator\, Ken Alex\, Director\, Project Climate\, Center for Law\, Energy\, and Environment\, UC Berkeley \n5:00 PT Opening remarks \n\nJiang Lin\, Nat Simons Presidential Chair in China Energy Policy\, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory\n\n5:05 PT Introduction of Waste Methane Report \n\nRixin Zhu\, Methane Policy Fellow\, California-China Climate Institute\n\n5:25 PT Commentary and Reactions on Addressing Waste Methane \n\nMatthew Harrison\, Manager of the Short-Lived Climate Pollutant Policy Section\, California Air Resources Board\nDr. Xiao Liu\, Project Director\, Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH\n\n6:00 PT Open Discussion and Audience Q & A \n6:20 PT Closing Remarks \n\nDr. Meian Chen\, Innovative Green Development Program (iGDP)\n\nThis webinar series is organized by the California-China Climate Institute\, in partnership with the Innovative Green Development Program (iGDP).

They also raise unique challenges for disadvantaged communities\, including those who live and work along the “Hidden Coast” – low-lying lands and non-oceanfront tidal and estuarine zones that account for 80% of the national shoreline. \nThe Coastal Justice Lab is a joint program led by Azul\, a Latinx-led and -serving environmental justice organization focused on coastal and marine conservation\, and the Center for Land\, Environment\, and Natural Resources at UCI Law. The Coastal Justice Lab is unique among efforts to advance environmental justice in coastal regions. It focuses on legal and interdisciplinary research to ensure that the work of federal\, state\, and local agencies\, planning and regulatory proceedings\, and compliance and enforcement initiatives advance principles of environmental justice and community involvement and ownership. The Coastal Justice Lab’s work includes policy proposals\, draft legislation\, convening reports\, facilitated dialogues and peer-reviewed research to support ongoing community and agency initiatives. \nSpeakers include: \nEmma Cervantes\, California Sea Grant Law and Policy Fellow\, California State Lands Commission \nMarce Gutiérrez-Graudiņš\, Founder and Executive Director\, Azul \nGregg Macey\, Associate Director for Environmental Justice\, Center for Land\, Environment\, and Natural Resources\, UCI Law \nYessica Ramirez\, Environmental Justice Liaison\, California State Lands Commission \nSumi Selvaraj\, Environmental Justice Manager\, California Coastal Commission \nNoaki Schwartz\, Deputy Director of Communications\, Environmental Justice\, and Tribal Affairs\, California Coastal Commission \nREGISTER HERE | Zoom webinar available for remote participation (link sent with registration confirmation).
