SUMMARY:FACTS Los Angeles: Climate Ready Cities - Taking actions to mitigate climate change and adapt in urban areas
DESCRIPTION:Register Here \nFACTS (French Ameri-Can Climate TalkS) \nBuilding up to the United Nations Climate Change Conference to be hosted by France in December 2015 (COP 21-Paris Climate 2015)\, the Embassies of France in both Canada and the United States are organizing FACTS (French Ameri-Can Climate TalkS)\, a public conference series across seven cities in the US and in Canada involving renowned scientists\, civil society representatives\, NGOs\, political figures\, journalists and entrepreneurs. \nKey speakers from both the US and France will be discussing the role of urban centers in regard to climate change policies: from the changing risks they have to face to the new opportunities they can benefit from. \nClimate Ready Cities \nTaking actions to mitigate climate change and adapt in urban areas \nIn partnership with the UCLA Institute of the Environment and Sustainability and the Los Angeles Regional Collaborative (LARC) for Climate Action and Sustainability\, the Embassy of France in the United States and the Consulate General of France in Los Angeles will organize a conference to discuss the challenges climate change represents for cities around the world. \nWith more than half of humanity living in cities\, urban centers are key actors for climate change. Climate change represents a major threat for many cities that will have to face a range of impacts from the consequences of the changing climate (sea level rise\, increased frequency of extreme weather events\, heat waves\, etc.). However\, the threats brought by climate change can also represent an opportunity and many cities are already taking action to become climate resilient by both decreasing their emissions and by preparing to mitigate the future impacts of climate change. \n \nMore information at: http://facts.france-science.org/program/#losangeles \nSponsored by:

SUMMARY:FOOD WEEK: UCLA-Harvard Law School Food Law and Policy Conference:  Transparency in the Global Food System: What Information and to What Ends?
DESCRIPTION:UCLA School of Law Resnick Program for Food Law and Policy & Harvard Law School Food Law Lab presents the first inaugural UCLA-Harvard Law School Food Law and Policy Conference: \nTransparency in the Global Food System: What Information and to What Ends? \nFriday\, October 24\, 2014\, 8:30 a.m. – 3:00 p.m. | UCLA Faculty Center\nFood Chains private screening\, 3:30 p.m. – 6:15 p.m. | UCLA School of Law \nRegistration opens at 8:30 a.m. Program begins promptly at 9:00 a.m. \nUCLA School of Law is a State Bar of California approved MCLE provider.\nThis activity qualifies for 4.75 hours of general MCLE credit. \nEvery day brings increasing news articles\, intensified citizen concern\, and political focus to the problems of our food system\, accompanied by a building consensus to address the known challenges. However\, both the factors shaping and the implications of our current food system are often opaque and difficult to analyze\, due to both the complexity and lack of transparency in our system. Most Americans are not aware of the consequences of the supply chains that they participate in\, and in some cases health information about food products is also obfuscated or unclear. Yet there is debate among policy makers and food producers about the amount and type of information that consumers should be entitled to. This conference will examine the issue of transparency in the food system\, with the guiding questions of what do we mean when we say transparency\, the role of the consumer in using information\, and what more information can achieve and not achieve. \nRegistration will include entrance into conference\, light breakfast\, and lunch. See website for more details\, program schedule and registration

SUMMARY:FOOD WEEK: WHEN ORGANIC MAY NOT BE ENOUGH: Are farm to table\, foraging and eating local really sustainable or merely elitist?
DESCRIPTION:An Oppenheim Lectures Series moderated by Jonathan Gold\, Pulitzer Prize Winning Restaurant Critic for the Los Angeles Times \nWednesday\, October 22nd\, 2014\n6:00 PM – 8:30 PM \n\nLenard Auditorium \nFowler Museum at UCLA \n\nRSVP by Wednesday\, October 15\, 2014 \nRESERVATIONS ARE REQUIRED \nModerator: \n \nJonathan Gold is the restaurant critic for the Los Angeles Times. He won the Pulitzer Prize in criticism in 2007 and was a finalist again in 2011. A Los Angeles native\, he began writing the Counter Intelligence column for the L.A. Weekly in 1986\, wrote about death metal and gangsta rap for Rolling Stone and Spin among other places\, and is delighted that he has managed to forge a career out of the professional eating of tacos. \nPanelists: \n \nEvan Kleiman\, Host of Good Food on KCRW \nEvan Kleiman is Host of Good Food on KCRW. She’s a culinary multitasker whose work no matter what form it takes (interviewing\, teaching\, writing\, cooking) has food as the focus in a quest to create and reveal connections we make with one another. \n \nMichael Cimarusti\, Executive Chef/Owner\, Providence \nAt his acclaimed Los Angeles restaurant Providence\, Executive Chef Michael Cimarusti has created contemporary seafood-centric cuisine for almost a decade\, yielding several James Beard Award nominations and two highly coveted Michelin stars. He combines his knowledge and appreciation of the dynamic nature of seafood with an advocacy for sustainable fishing practices evident in every dish. \nThe New Jersey native was first lured to L.A. by Wolfgang Puck to become chef de cuisine at the original Spago\, followed by stints at New York City’s Osteria del Circo; the Michelin three-starred Arpège; and Le Cirque\, where he cooked with legends such as Paul Bocuse\, Roger Vergé\, and Gérard Boyer. He then spent six years at Water Grill\, earning a national reputation for his fish mastery. \nMichael’s culinary career was cultivated early on by fishing with his grandfather and cooking with his grandmother. After graduating with honors from the Culinary Institute of America\, he cooked at An American Place with his mentor Chef Larry Forgione\, a restaurant that is recognized as leading the farm-to-table movement now omnipresent in American cuisine. While working in Forgione’s kitchen\, he also met his future wife and business partner\, pastry chef Cristina Echiverri. \nToday\, he and Echiverri operate Providence and Connie & Ted’s. Outside of his restaurants\, Michael actively supports the Special Olympics and always finds time to go fishing with his two children. \n \nCraig McNamara\, President/Owner\, Sierra Orchards & President\, California State Board of Food and Agriculture \nCraig McNamara is the president and owner of Sierra Orchards\, a diversified farming operation producing primarily organic walnuts. \nBy connecting people\, policy and agricultural best practices\, Craig works to protect the land that feeds us\, to promote social justice and support the next generation of farmers. \nIn that capacity\, he serves as the founder of the Center for Land-Based Learning\, an innovative program that helps high school students build greater social and human capital in their communities. \nHe is President of the California State Board of Food and Agriculture\, on the UC President’s Advisory Commission and the UC Davis Dean’s Advisory Council. He is an advisory board member of the Agricultural Sustainability Institute\, and active in the American Farmland Trust\, Roots of Change\, and the Public Policy Institute of California. \nHe is the recipient of several awards including California Agriculturalist of the Year 2014\, James Irving Leadership Award\, Leopold Conservation Award\, the California Governor’s Environmental and Economic Leadership Award\, the UC Davis Award of Distinction and Outstanding Alumnus Award. \nHe is passionate about sharing his knowledge in sustainable agriculture and leadership with the world around him. Together with his wife and three children he lives in Winters California. \nInquiries:  CollegeEvents@support.ucla.edu or (310) 825-4038 \nCo-Hosted by: UCLA Healthy Campus Initiative\, Resnick Program for Food Law and Policy at UCLA\, and Food Law Society at UCLA

SUMMARY:The Great California Drought This Time\, and Next
DESCRIPTION:The Great California Drought This Time\, and Next\nFeaturing Felicia Marcus Chair of the State Water Board \nFriday\, October 10th\, 2014\n1:30 PM – 3:00 PM \n\nUCLA Law School \nRoom 1447 \n385 Charles E. Young Drive East \nLos Angeles\, CA 90095 \n\nRSVP Here \nHow has the State Water Resources Control Board Managed Water during this Drought? \nWhat has the Board learned about how to respond to the next Drought?  \n\nFeaturing\n \nFelicia Marcus\, Chair\, State Water Resources Control Board \nFelicia Marcus was appointed by Governor Jerry Brown to the State Water Resources Control Board (Board) for the State of California in 2012\, and designated by the Governor as Chair in April of 2013.The Board implements both federal and state laws regarding drinking water and water quality\, and it implements the state’s water rights laws. Before her appointment to the Water Board\, Marcus served in positions in government\, the non-profit world\, and the private sector.In government\, Felicia served as the Regional Administrator of the U.S. EPA Region IX in the Clinton Administration. While at USEPA\, Felicia worked extensively on the range of environmental issues under EPA’s jurisdiction\, most heavily in air quality\, Bay-Delta water\, tribal\, and US-Mexico border issues. Prior to that\, Felicia headed Los Angeles’ Department of Public Works at a time when the City went from garnering lawsuits to garnering national awards for environmental excellence. Felicia came to Public Works after extensive experience as a public interest lawyer and community organizer in Los Angeles\, including being a co-founder and general counsel for Heal the Bay.In the non-profit world\, she was the Western Director for the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC)\, a national environmental leader in bringing science\, law\, and policy expertise to solving our world’s pressing environmental and conservation challenges. Prior to joining NRDC\, Felicia was the Executive VP/COO of the Trust for Public Land (TPL)\, a national non-profit devoted to conserving land for people.She is also currently an Obama Administration appointee to the Commission on Environmental Cooperation-Joint Public Advisory Council (US\, Mexico\, Canada) and was a Schwarzenegger Administration appointee to the Delta Stewardship Council prior to being appointed to the Water Board. \n \nMax Gomberg\, Water Conservation Policy Advisor\, State Water Resources Control Board \nMax Gomberg is the climate change advisor to the State Water Resources Control Board\, where he has helped to develop emergency water conservation regulations among other initiatives. He is also a member of the Water-Energy Team of the state’s Climate Action Team (“WETCAT”)\, and was the lead author for the water section of the AB32 Scoping Plan update. Previously\, he worked for the Office of Ratepayer Advocates at the California Public Utilities Commission where he worked on a range of water and energy rate-setting and rulemaking proceedings. He has worked as an investigator for the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission\, and has served in the Peace Corps as an environmental studies teacher in Nicaragua. In addition\, he serves as Chair of the Community Environmental Advisory Commission for the City of Berkeley. Mr. Gomberg holds a Masters degree in Public Policy from UCLA and a BA in Environmental Studies from the University of Chicago. \nABOUT THE LECTURE: Since last January\, the State Water Board has been working the Governor’s Office and an interagency Drought Task Force to make crucial decisions about how and when to allocate and conserve water resources\, including: \nDeciding how much surface water is available to State Water Board Contractors and Central Valley Project Contractors through order. \nOrdering all diversions by rightsholders established later than 1914\, halted. \nOverseeing the timing and volume of water released from all of the dams controlled by the SWP andCVP for users all over the state \nProtecting the in-stream ecosystems and fish and wildlife \nRequiring mandatory conservation for all urban water agencies\, and \nRequiring increased accountability for the urban water use. \nProviding emergency drinking water to communities and schools who depend on water wells that are dry or polluted. \nSupporting the development of comprehensive groundwater management legislation \nChair Marcus and Water Conservation Policy Advisor Gomberg will talk about and reflect on what has been accomplished to date\, where the State Board was challenged in implementing regulations and what lessons learned will mean for their decisions in the next year of this drought\, or the drought next time. \nComplimentary Refreshments Following the Lecture \nCosponsored by: UCLA School of Law’s Emmett Institute on Climate Change and the Environment and Environmental Law Society\, UCLA Luskin Center for Innovation\, and UCLA Water Technology Research Center \nOne of a series of lectures and discussions organized by the UCLA Water Resources Working Group to bring together experts on water policy\, science\, law and technology\, to work on interdisciplinary solutions to water sustainability.
