SUMMARY:Greening the Golden State (in Sacramento)
DESCRIPTION:California on the Move\n\n\n \n“We have a cap-and-trade system\, which is a very efficient way to reducing greenhouse gases. We have a zero-emission vehicle mandate. We have efficiency standards for our buildings\, for our appliances. California is showing that dealing with climate is good for the economy — not bad. It’s a culture that’s on the move — not pulling up the drawbridge out of fear and economic insecurity.” – California Governor Jerry Brown \n\nGreening the Golden State\nAs a result of its legislative and financial commitment to emission reduction and environmental stewardship\, the Golden State has emerged as a national and international leader in sustainable policy\, practice and technology. The annual Green California Summit was established eleven years ago to support these efforts and to provide information\, education and resources to the public and private sector professionals who create\, manage and execute green projects and programs. \nThe 2018 Summit comes to the Sacramento Convention Center on April 9-10\, at a time when changing priorities at the federal level have heightened the importance of California’s efforts. The Summit offers an unique opportunity for stakeholders to connect\, exchange ideas and attend education sessions that highlight best practices and effective strategies. \nKeynote and Expo Registration is Free\nEntrance to the Green Solutions Expo on April 9-10\, the keynote session and the annual Leadership Awards reception is free. Commissioner Andrew McAllister (left) of the California Energy Commission will speak in the opening session. Bio here. \nThe Expo allows you to discover scores of green products and services all in one place. Find out what’s new and get an intensive\, hands-on education that’s not available anywhere else. The Expo also offers you a chance to look at the latest clean vehicles\, EV charging solutions and more. Click here to start your registration. \nConcurrent Education Sessions on April 9-10 will cover a range of topics. (More here.) The Summit will also include special Technology Showcase education sessions that are open to all (details to be announced). \nIf you are a member of a professional organization that has an interest in sustainability\, you may want to consider taking part in our Partners in Learning program.

Discounted rates may be available at area hotels to accommodate out of town attendees. If your organization is interested in holding a scheduled meeting at the Summit please call 626.577.5700. \n\n“We are not going to allow one election to reverse generations of progress – at the height of our historic diversity\, scientific advancement\, economic output\, and sense of global responsibility.  Equity and environmental justice are now hardwired into all of our climate policies in an unprecedented way.”\n– Senate President Pro Tem Kevin de León at the Vatican Pontifical Academy of Sciences\, November 3\, 2017 \n\n\nWho Should Attend?\nAgency Secretaries\nCommissioners\nDepartment Directors\nChiefs\, Administration Division\nFacility Managers\nEnergy Managers\nSustainability Managers\nLegislators\nBoard Members\nSuperintendents\nChancellors\nChief Business Officers\nEngineers\nTransportation Specialists\nChief Financial Officers\nEducators\nBuilding Officials\nCapital Outlay Managers\nBuilding Managers\nProcurement Managers\nReal Estate Managers\nBudget Officers\nPurchasers\nRecycling Professionals\nWaste Management Professionals\nFleet Managers\nCommercial Real Estate Professionals\nArchitects and Designers\nConstruction Professionals\nAnyone with green program responsibilities! \nQUESTIONS?

SUMMARY:A Gendered Planning Mismatch
DESCRIPTION:>> RSVP here << \nHow do discussions and plans for the future of transportation and new innovative mobility services account for women’s travel patterns? Women tend to commute shorter distances and conduct more household serving trips than their male counterparts. This gender gap exists even in dual-income households and widens further for child-serving trips\, even among households with no children. \nWhat potential do new mobility options\, bikesharing\, ridesourcing\, microtransit hold for closing this gap? Or will they rather reinforce these divergent travel patterns? Join us for a conversation about women’s travel patterns\, current and future transportation planning and policy. Our experts will share their previous research\, and discuss future plans from the City and County of Los Angeles to better serve women’s travel needs and patterns. \nReception will follow after the event. \nSpeakers: \n\nEvelyn Blumenberg MA UP ’90 PhD ’95\, UCLA Luskin Department of Urban Planning\nSeleta Reynolds\, Los Angeles Department of Transportation\nStephanie Wiggins\, Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority\n\nLOCATION\n\nJapanese American Cultural & Community Center \n244 South San Pedro Street \nLos Angeles\, CA 90012 \nView Map

SUMMARY:Edible Feminisms: Gender\, Waste\, and Metabolism - Center for Study of Women Event
DESCRIPTION:Activists and scholars will offer live reflections on how the past lurks in our shared food future\, and what to do about it.\nFEATURED PANELISTS\nFood justice and food waste activists:\nTanya Fields (Founder and Executive Director\, The BLK Project) \nLisa “Tiny” Gray-Garcia (Co-Editor\, Poor Magazine; author of Criminal of Poverty: Growing Up Homeless in America) \nRick Nahmias (Founder and Executive Director\, Food Forward LA) \nAward-winning scholars:\nHeather Paxson (Professor of Anthropology\, MIT; author of The Life of Cheese: Crafting Food and Value in America) \nKyla Wazana Tompkins (Associate Professor of English and Gender and Women’s Studies\, Pomona College; author of Racial Indigestion: Eating Bodies in the 19th Century) \n  \n  \nDATE: Thursday\, February 1\, 2018 \nTIME: 4:00 PM – 6:00 PM. Reception to follow. \nLOCATION: Luskin Conference Center\, UCLA \nFree and open to the public. \nRegister: https://uclacsw.submittable.com/submit/102504/free-registration-edible-feminisms-panel\n\n\nThis panel is part of Edible Feminisms: On Discard\, Waste and Metabolism\, a project organized by CSW Adjunct Assistant Professors Sarah Tracy and Rachel Vaughn.\nEdible Feminisms will culminate in a special issue of the journal Food\, Culture\, and Society. Contributors to the special issue will gather for a private writing workshop following the public panel. \nThis project was inspired by Dr. Kyla Wazana Tompkins‘ framing of “critical eating studies” in her award-winning Racial Indigestion (New York University Press\, 2012) and reflects on the ways in which American Studies\, Food Studies\, Sensory Studies\, Science & Technology Studies\, and Postcolonial Studies are speaking to one another. Through the promptings of food science popularization\, culinary tourism\, food waste\, sustainability\, and access debates\, questions of race\, identity\, and pleasure are currently as germane as the science of obesity/diabetes\, allergy\, and chemical exposure. Rather than separate such strands\, we wish to forward the proposition of “critical eating studies” through explorations of the theme of Re(Value). How do individuals\, companies\, and policy-makers deploy science (e.g.\, evolutionary\, genetic\, molecular) to do the work of differentiation—where differentiation is an expression of value\, whether ethnic\, cultural\, distinction\, or brand? How do such actors center science in their route to positive futures? In other words\, how is latent capacity transformed into new sources of value and to what benefit\, and through which kinds of violence? How does making explicit the materiality\, politics\, and symbolism of eating (a mutual\, subjective\, and intractable affair)\, as feminist and queer critical practice\, help illuminate such questions and to what ends? \n\nPanel Details\n  \n \nNEAREST AVAILABLE PARKING: Parking Structure 8 (enter via Westwood Plaza) \nREGISTER: https://uclacsw.submittable.com/submit/102504/free-registration-edible-feminisms-panel \n\nTHIS IS A FRAGRANCE-FREE EVENT. For the health and safety of all attendees\, please avoid wearing products that contain fragrances when attending CSW events.

SUMMARY:Energy Policy Panel
DESCRIPTION:Renewable Energy Association and Environment California are partnering for a Renewable Energy Policy Panel on campus at Boelter Penthouse on the evening of January 31st. \nThe panel will be moderated by UCLA’s Chief Sustainability Officer\, who is modernizing the university’s energy infrastructure to be more environmentally sustainable\, and will feature experts in California state policy and renewable energy technologies. Students from all years and majors are welcome to come learn about how developments in renewable energy technologies are affecting public policy in California\, and vice versa. \nWith climate change already affecting us in the form of droughts\, superstorms\, wildfires and more\, a frank discussion about the path away from fossil fuels toward renewable energy sources like wind\, solar\, and geothermal is extremely pertinent. Bruins will be among those shaping policy\, building renewable energy infrastructure\, and discovering new technologies that can stop the worst effects of climate change\, and ensuring our society is not reliant on dangerous fuel sources. \nCalifornia has already been a leader in creating policies to fight climate change\, such as pioneering the Million Solar Roofs Initiative\, requiring power companies to increase their use of renewables\, and much more. We will talk about past laws and initiatives\, current proposals\, and challenges that lie ahead of us in the transition to a renewable energy economy. \nCome join us for education\, career inspiration\, and honest discussion. Details below. \nModerator: Nurit Katz\, Chief Sustainability Officer at UCLA\nPanelists:\n– La Ronda Bowen\, Ombudsman for CARB\n– Ryan Snyder\, Principal of Active Transportation at Transpo Group\n– Kelly Trumbull\, Researcher at Luskin Center for Innovation
