In this talk\, Victor Seow will draw upon his recently published Carbon Technocracy: Energy Regimes in Modern East Asia (University of Chicago Press\, 2022) to discuss how modern states of different stripes\, from imperial Japan to communist China\, came to embrace strikingly similar forms of science-driven\, coal-fired developmentalism amid an international order that was being reshaped by the carbon energy transition. What is revealed in this connected and comparative account is the extent to which interstate competition and statist preoccupations around economic growth\, national security\, and resource autarky have driven the intensification of fossil fuel production and use across political modalities\, at great human and environmental cost. \nREGISTER HERE URL:https://sustain.ucla.edu/event/victor-seow-fossil-fueled-developmentalism-carbon-technocracy-in-modern-east-asia/ LOCATION:Social Sciences Building (SOS)\, 250\, 3502 Trousdale Parkway\, Los Angeles\, CA\, 90089\, United States ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://sustain.ucla.edu/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/seowasia.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20231028T180000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20231028T210000 DTSTAMP:20260403T124812 CREATED:20231020T002043Z LAST-MODIFIED:20231020T002043Z UID:19425-1698516000-1698526800@sustain.ucla.edu SUMMARY:Sustain-O-Ween at the Backyard Farm DESCRIPTION:Get ready for a spooktacular evening at the Backyard Farm!

Decentralized renewable energy access is precisely the kind of solution that will deliver a Just Energy Transition and bring power to the people in the Global South as well as communities in the Global North. Yet\, big energy and infrastructure are dominating the Energy Transition agenda. With a focus on rapidly reducing carbon emissions\, large-scale renewable systems—many centrally controlled—are being prioritized\, leaving hundreds of millions of people—especially women—in rural and marginalized communities without access to energy\, increasing their climate vulnerability. Join four C3E Award winners to hear their experience in accelerating energy access in the Global South\, followed by a discussion on how delivering energy access through decentralized renewable energy enables climate\, gender\, and development benefits and upcoming opportunities for further innovation and scale in Africa\, Asia\, and the United States. \nThere will be an optional 30-minute discussion and networking session immediately following the webinar at 3:00pm ET. \nREGISTER HERE URL:https://sustain.ucla.edu/event/building-the-energy-gender-climate-nexus-the-role-of-decentralized-renewable-energy-access/ LOCATION:Online ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://sustain.ucla.edu/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/c3e23.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20231102T220000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20231102T220000 DTSTAMP:20260403T124812 CREATED:20231028T205254Z LAST-MODIFIED:20231028T205254Z UID:19549-1698962400-1698962400@sustain.ucla.edu SUMMARY:Free Food from the Dining Halls DESCRIPTION:Get a plate of free hot dining hall food in the SAC basement.

DESCRIPTION:The research and teaching conducted in university laboratories often has an outsized impact on a campus’ carbon footprint\, due to the energy-intensive nature of lab air quality requirements\, as well as the emissions associated with the building and operations. Water-intensive processes and hard-to-recycle wastes also challenge lab sustainability managers. To improve energy and water efficiency\, decrease emissions\, and reduce waste in labs\, it’s essential to engage scientists in the green lab effort. The key is to empower students\, researchers\, building managers\, purchasers\, campus planners\, and other leaders to support sustainable initiatives within their labs\, buildings\, and systemic change across the research enterprise. \nDuring this webinar\, attendees will learn how a green lab program can reduce resource use\, emissions\, and waste and promote sustainable science. \nREGISTER HERE URL:https://sustain.ucla.edu/event/webinar-what-is-sustainable-science-and-how-can-we-green-our-labs/ LOCATION:Online ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://sustain.ucla.edu/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/aashe1.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20231108T113000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20231108T123000 DTSTAMP:20260403T124812 CREATED:20231107T002306Z LAST-MODIFIED:20231107T002306Z UID:19590-1699443000-1699446600@sustain.ucla.edu SUMMARY:Embracing Diversity Series: Representation in the Outdoors DESCRIPTION:UCLA Anderson Outdoor Adventure Club (OAC) is thrilled to invite you to the next event in our Embracing Diversity Series: Representation in the Outdoors! \nThis event will feature a panel of incredible community leaders: Jude Glenn and Sarina Pizzala from Queer Mountaineers\, Christian La Mont from Latino Outdoors (“Yo Cuento” Initiative)\, and Jorge Vallecillos from Escalemos (Rock Climbing Collective) and will be moderated by our VP of EDI\, Natalia Rodriguez Muxica (‘24). \nWe will explore the barriers that have historically prevented underrepresented groups from participating in outdoor activities and learn how these leaders and their organizations are working to increase outdoor accessibility for all. \nREGISTER HERE URL:https://sustain.ucla.edu/event/embracing-diversity-series-representation-in-the-outdoors/ LOCATION:Marion Anderson Hall Grand Salon\, 110 Westwood Plaza\, Los Angeles\, CA\, 90095\, United States ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://sustain.ucla.edu/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/repinoutdoors.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20231108T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20231108T170000 DTSTAMP:20260403T124812 CREATED:20231106T181253Z LAST-MODIFIED:20231106T181253Z UID:19579-1699444800-1699462800@sustain.ucla.edu SUMMARY:4th Annual NorCal Symposium on Climate and Health DESCRIPTION:Climate change presents a critical challenge to medical education\, as future medical professionals will be tasked with treating patients and managing healthcare systems in a constantly changing world.
