SUMMARY:Can the Energy Crisis Finally Unite Us?
DESCRIPTION:This is an off-campus\, non-UCLA event posted here in case of interest to the broader community. \nClimate debates are going nowhere. Highly ideological\, they end in gridlock more often than solutions. Disasters strike\, but their media shelf-life is short. And younger generations\, long worried about living on a warming planet\, are moving from anxiety to frustration\, feeling like they’re left with all the problems but no decision-making power. The world needs a new approach. \nThere are signs of change: States with conservative majorities like Texas\, Iowa\, and Oklahoma are now leaders in renewable energy\, and some U.S. voters have latched onto a green economic populism that runs on affordability. And in the U.K\, a recent conservative government expanded Britain’s offshore wind power. What new climate narratives\, and which media messengers\, will bring us together to effect progress across politics\, state lines\, national borders\, and vast oceans? And what words will they employ? Can “energy realism” make people view renewables as a path to freedom from oil dependence? Is “sustainability” out and “our future” in? \nFormer Florida U.S. Representative and Climate Solutions Caucus co-founder Carlos Curbelo\, New America Planetary Politics director Heela Rasool-Ayub\, and climate change journalist Kate Yoder will discuss efforts to help words win where political ideology has failed. \nCo-presented by Thomas Mann House and Zócalo Public Square\, in partnership with ASU Global Futures Laboratory and Palisadian-Post\nModerated by Uwe Jean Heuser\, Journalist and 2026 Thomas Mann Fellow \nWe invite our in-person audience to continue the conversation with our speakers and each other at a post-event reception with complimentary light bites and beverages\, plus the opportunity to experience a work-in-progress VR documentary about the 2020 Los Angeles wildfires from ASU’s Narrative and Emerging Media program. \nREGISTER FOR THIS EVENT HERE \nThis event will also be streaming live on Youtube.

SUMMARY:Policy Making Under Uncertainty: Deciding Where to Implement Fire Mitigation Strategies
DESCRIPTION:The State of California uses hazard maps to determine where defensible space regulation apply\, whereas the insurance industry uses risk mapping to set policies. What are the implications for the use of these different methodologies? This webinar convenes academic\, agency\, and industry experts to discuss where we need to target fire mitigation interventions. \nFeaturing:\n– Kelly Hereid\, Head of Catastrophe R&D for Liberty Mutual Insurance\n– Ertugrul Taciroglu\, Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the UCLA Samueli School of Engineering\n– Dave Sapsis\, Research Manager for CAL FIRE’s Fire and Resource Assessment Program (FRAP)\n– Shea Broussard\, CEO of FlameMapper \nModerated by Alex Hall\, Faculty Director of the UCLA Sustainable LA Grand Challenge (SLAGC) and Director of the UCLA Institute of the Environment and Sustainability. \nRegister today for the second in a series of webinars organized by SLAGC that deal with how we can develop policies that help us live with future fire. \nWatch SLAGC’s first panel in this series\, Policymaking Under Uncertainty: Zone 0 and Vegetation Clearance\, here.
