SUMMARY:California Tribes and Climate Change: How Tribal Knowledge is Enhancing the Scientific Understanding of Climate Change in California
DESCRIPTION:How can Tribal knowledge help us weather the extremes of climate change? \nCalEPA’s Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) explored the answer to that question in the fourth edition of its Indicators of Climate Change in California Report last year. The report documents the wide-ranging impacts that global fossil fuel reliance has had on the state’s weather\, water supplies\, plants and animals\, and human health. \nFor the first time\, this latest edition incorporated knowledge and impacts on California’s Tribal Nations\, including first-hand accounts written by Tribal members. Hear from OEHHA scientists and a Tribal leader who helped write the report and discover how tribal knowledge adds to our scientific understanding of climate change with information gleaned from centuries of interactions with the Earth that pre-date instrumental records. \nSpeakers \n\nTamara Kadir\, MS\, Senior Environmental Scientist\, Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA)\nLaurie Monserrat\, Senior Environmental Scientist\, Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA)\nL’eaux Stewart\, Big Pine Paiute Tribe and contributing author to the 2023 Climate Indicators Report\n\nRegistration\nRegistration is free for AWWEE members. Members may add up to 2 guests for no charge at the time of registration (individuals new to AWWEE\, please). \nNon-member registration fee is $20. \nREGISTER HERE

SUMMARY:California Biodiversity Bioblitz
DESCRIPTION:Join this event to celebrate California’s biodiversity and help inform the state’s 30×30 initiative by taking a closer look at nearby nature and documenting your finds on iNaturalist! \nUCLA’s Stunt Ranch Santa Monica Mountains Reserve and The Malibu Foundation are excited to be collaborating on a Bioblitz for California Biodiversity Week at Stunt Ranch Reserve! A “Bioblitz” is a short outdoor event in which people come together to explore nature and make and share observations of the plants and animals that are living in their communities. \nCitizen scientists of all ages are invited to participate in California conservation by hiking at Stunt Ranch Reserve to collect photos of plants and animals so they can be uploaded to the “Find 30 Species Challenge” – a project created on the iNaturalist application. Wildlife observations uploaded to this project will ultimately help inform the state’s “30×30 initiative” – a goal to conserve 30 percent of California’s lands and coastal waters by 2030. No prior experience as a naturalist is necessary — just bring a smart device or camera and access the iNaturalist app to join in! \n*This free event is open to all ages and all participants will be required to sign a liability waiver before entering the reserve. Participants under 18 years old will need to have parent or guardian sign this wavier.* \nREGISTER HERE \nPreparation for the event: \n\nBring a smart phone or device that can download iNaturalist\nDownload the iNaturalist App\nCreate a profile on iNaturalist.\nDownload Seek by iNaturalist App (optional)\n\nParking: Parking will be available at the front entrance of the reserve. Spaces are limited\, so carpooL if possible. See Parking on the Field Station page for more information: https://stuntranch.ucnrs.org/field-station/. \n  \nIf you have any questions\, please contact Stunt Ranch Assistant Director\, David Blake\, at dblake0405@g.ucla.edu.

SUMMARY:The Science of Carbon Dioxide Removal: What Is It and Is It Needed?
DESCRIPTION:As the world navigates the necessary transition away from polluting fuels toward clean energy\, many scientists believe we must also remove climate pollution that has already been dumped into the atmosphere. The call for Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR) grows stronger as new analyses find that the global community is not on track to meet the Paris Agreement targets.  \nIn the first webinar of a new six-part series\, we will explore the science behind CDR\, how it differs from carbon capture and storage (CCS)\, what role it plays in broader climate efforts\, and why it must be coupled with direct emission reductions. This series will explore the science\, strategies\, and policies of CDR. We will facilitate co-learning between stakeholders\, address knowledge gaps\, and emphasize the importance of engaging\, protecting\, and benefiting local communities with any proposed CDR projects. \nThis webinar is co-hosted by California Environmental Voters\, The Climate Center\, and Project 2030. \nREGISTER HERE

Politicians\, business leaders and tens of millions of residents will need to work a lot harder — and be willing to accept a tomorrow that looks different than today.\nSammy Roth\nRosanna Xia\nTony Briscoe\nModerator – Monte Morin \n9:45 AM: LIFESTYLE AND SUSTAINABILITY\nFast fashion\, fast food and fast delivery: How our love of convenience and unbridled consumerism is destroying our world.

At what point do young people decide on a path of action\, and does it involve throwing paint on treasured artwork or engaging politicians and corporate chiefs? Do they believe anyone is listening?\nSammy Roth\nAlyssa Jaipersaud\nNoah Haggerty\nIan James\nModerator – Alice Short \n11:45 AM: Approx event end for General Admission (GA) tickets \n12:00 PM – 1:00 PM: Post-event mixer (for VIP tickets and GA tickets + mixer add-on) \nREGISTER HERE
