SUMMARY:Waste Awareness Week: Environmental Art Show
DESCRIPTION:wasteawarenessweek.com\n—\nWaste Awareness Week is a week-long sustainability event that specifically tackles the impact of waste mismanagement on the environment. The Renewable Energy Association at UCLA\, along with a number of sustainability\, environmental justice\, food insecurity\, and artistic organizations\, are collaborating to create a number of events that: \n1.

From interactive games\, workshops and panels\, to collaborative art shows\, movie screenings and a gala dinner\, Waste Awareness Week hopes to engage all students and push them to think more critically about their waste generation habits\, the single-use culture and linear economic systems that enable them\, and the out-of-sight-out-of-mind mentality that blinds them to the true consequences of this global crisis. By collaborating with a large number of student groups\, we also hope to plug UCLA students into the community of organizers who are working relentlessly on this issue\, and tackling it from every possible facet.

SUMMARY:Street Plants: Wild Flora of Los Angeles Discussion
DESCRIPTION:UCLA Mildred E. Mathias Botanical Garden and LENS (Laboratory for Environmental Narratives Strategies) invite you to Street Plants: Wild Flora of Los Angeles Discussion \n\nCities may seem to be solely the work of humans—right down to the urban landscape of street trees\, ornamental plantings\, and manicured lawns that were put in place by human hands. But wild plants spread through the landscape without any human help\, forming a ubiquitous botanical backdrop that exists at the fringes of most concepts of nature. Join Evan Meyer\, Assistant Director of the UCLA Botanical Garden\, for a discussion of the wild flora of inner-city Los Angeles. \nThis event is free\, but space is limited. RSVP at uclabotanical.eventbrite.com.

SUMMARY:Impact Spotlight / Good Health and Well-being - Dr. Rishi Manchanda of HealthBegins
DESCRIPTION:This talk is brought to you as part of our Impact Spotlights on the UN Sustainable Development Goals – Goal #3: Good Health and Well-Being. \nGenetic makeup only determines thirty percent of health outcomes. Social\, physical and economic environments determine the rest. Factors such as housing status\, employment\, walkability\, air quality\, socioeconomic status\, and food security collectively make up what are known as the social determinants of health\, and play a huge role in influencing our health. \nHear from the founder of HealthBegins on how the company is redefining clinical-community partnerships and investing in the social determinants of health to create positive outcomes for all. \nAbout the speaker:\nDr. Rishi Manchanda\, MD\, MPH\nFounder & CEO\, HealthBegins \nDr. Rishi Manchanda is a physician\, author\, and health care leader who has spent more than a decade developing novel strategies to improve health in resource-poor communities. He has served as director of social medicine for a network of community health centers in South-Central Los Angeles\, as the lead primary care physician for homeless veterans at the Greater Los Angeles VA\, and as chief medical officer for a self-insured employer with a large rural immigrant workforce. In his 2013 TED Book\, The Upstream Doctors\, he introduced readers to the upstreamists\, a new model of healthcare workers who improve care by addressing patients’ health-related social needs\, such as food\, financial\, and housing insecurity. The book has become recommended reading in medical schools and universities across the world.

SUMMARY:LA’s New Abnormal: Mega-Wildfires Reception and Discussion
DESCRIPTION:The Nature Conservancy and UCLA Institute of the Environment and Sustainability (IoES) invite you to LA’s New Abnormal: Mega-Wildfires Reception and Discussion Seemingly every year\, California breaks some record for devastation with a new wildfire. The Woolsey fire was the worst the Malibu area has ever seen\, and it has been 100 years since there has been a wildfire anywhere in the US as deadly as Northern California’s Camp Fire. Is this new abnormal something we just have to learn to live with\, or are there actions to be taken that could reduce wildfire hazard both immediately\, and more profoundly over a 10 to 20-year span?

UCLA ITS is a non-endowed research center housed in the UCLA Luskin School of Public Affairs\, and ITS faculty\, staff\, and students regularly collaborate with and receive support from the UCLA Lewis Center for Regional Policy Studies. ITS is a proud partner in the Pacific Southwest Region 9 University Transportation Center\, a federally-funded research network with seven other universities. \nThe transportation planning program at UCLA has been ranked second in the nation by Planetizen\, due in no small part to ITS support of transportation faculty and students. Since its inception in 1992\, ITS has supported hundreds of UCLA Luskin students with more than $2 million in scholarship funds\, which is relatively unique among UCLA research centers in both scope and scale. ITS also has enhanced the SPA curriculum by regularly funding special topics courses in transportation studies. This support has helped the Departments of Public Policy and Urban Planning (each of which offers specializations in transportation) attract many of the best and brightest transportation students to UCLA. Not surprisingly\, transportation policy and planning faculty and students have garnered an inordinate number of prestigious grants and awards\, many of which can be found on the ITS awards page. \nITS also actively links transportation research with policy and planning practice. Each fall since 1991\, ITS researchers co-host the UCLA Lake Arrowhead Symposium\, which brings leading transportation\, land use\, and environmental scholars together with top policy and planning practitioners from around the globe for a three-day retreat in the San Bernardino Mountains. In addition\, ITS  regularly hosts conferences and events in Los Angeles\, Sacramento\, and Washington\, D.C.\, along with dozens of public lectures on a wide variety of topics.

SUMMARY:UCLA ITS Downtown Forum: From Public Transit to Public Mobility
DESCRIPTION:From Public Transit to Public Mobility\nThe 12th Annual UCLA Downtown Los Angeles Forum on Transportation\, Land Use and the Environment\nFriday\, March 1\n9:00 am – 5:00 pm\nJapanese American National Museum\, Los Angeles\, CA\nREGISTER NOW\nThe 12th UCLA Institute of Transportation Studies Downtown Forum grapples with the public sector’s response to the dual trends of emerging new mobility services and declining public transit ridership. \nWhat does the increasing role of private mobility options in cities mean for transportation agencies\, public transit providers\, cities\, and the traveling public? Should innovation be encouraged\, quashed\, or managed? Many regions in California are making big investments in public transit to create a viable alternative to driving; are these burgeoning new services a threat or opportunity for these investments? \nThe 12th Annual Downtown Forum will explore implementation of the strategies discussed at the October 2018 Arrowhead Symposium\, a 3-day in-depth examination of what’s happening in urban mobility amidst an inundation of new options\, to how public agencies are adapting to accommodate\, manage\, and incorporate\, and compete with new options while continuing to serve the public interest. The Downtown Forum advances strategies to implementation in four areas seen as critical to the public sector’s response to new mobility: \n\nSuccessful models for the public sector to partner with private companies providing public mobility service\nHow public agencies can effectively obtain and use data to manage public mobility\nIdentifying and implementing the most impactful\, cost-effective incremental changes to streets and transit service in order to double public transit ridership in the next decade\nCoordinating implementation of new technologies and mobility services to enhance equity and quality of life
