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:Waste Awareness Week: Zero Waste Panel
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. Expose students to the gravity and scale of the global waste crisis\n2. Discuss the various social\, economic infrastructural and environmental causes and consequences of the crisis\n3.

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?

SUMMARY:Our Shared Solar Future: Expanding Access through Community Solar hosted by Grid Alternatives
DESCRIPTION:GRID Alternatives GLA is proud to announce the fourth event in our Los Angeles Energy and Equity Policy Series (LEEPS)\, “Our Shared Solar Future: Expanding Access through Community Solar.” \nCommunity solar has emerged across the country as a powerful policy strategy to encourage clean energy equity. The event will introduce attendees to the concept of community solar and its potential to expand solar access to our most vulnerable communities\, including those households who face the greatest adoption barriers such as renters. Our panel of experts and advocates will review successful community solar case studies from around the country\, with specific focus on programs that deliver benefits to low-income customers. Panelists will then turn focus to California and discuss our state’s recent community solar policy developments\, as well as additional steps that must be taken to ensure significant utility bill savings for the households that need it most. \nWe’re honored to announce our lunch keynote: Commissioner Martha Guzman Aceves from the California Public Utilities Commissioner. \nAgenda\nCoffee and Registration (9:30am)\nLight breakfast will be served. \nWelcoming Comments (10:00am)\nJeannine Pearce\, Councilwoman\, City of Long Beach \n\nPANEL 1 (10:20am) – Community Solar Successes from around the Country\nThroughout the country\, community solar has emerged as a viable policy option for the expansion of solar access and energy equity. This panel will review the community solar successes from around the country\, particularly as they pertain to low-income communities\, and discuss what lessons can be learned as community solar begins to take root in California. \n\nMarta Tomic\, Program Director\, Vote Solar\nTom Figel\, Director of Community Solar\, GRID Alternatives\n\n\nJuan Parra\, Community Solar Program Manager\, Solar One\nJaimes Valdez\, Policy Manager\, Spark Northwest\nJake Levine\, Associate and Policy Adviser\, Covington & Burling\, LLP\n\nPANEL 2 (11:40am) – California’s Community Solar Policy Landscape: Now and Into the Future\nIn 2018\, community solar policy developments occurred on multiple fronts throughout California. The California Public Utilities Commission passed the “Green Tariff Community Solar” program to establish a new statewide community solar tariff\, the California Department of Community Services and Development released $5 million in grant funding for the implementation of low-income community solar pilot projects\, and investor-owned utilities such as Southern California Edison (SCE) submitted for approval a suite of shared solar programs including SCE’s Community Renewables Program. This panel will review the year’s policy developments and look forward to a future community solar policy landscape that ensures solar access to the most vulnerable Californians. \n\nTed Bardacke\, Executive Director\, Clean Power Alliance\nAnthony Hernandez\, Principal Manager\, Energy Procurement and Management\, Southern California Edison\nCrystal Huang\, CEO\, People Power Solar Cooperative\nBrandon Smithwood\, Policy Director\, Coalition for Community Solar Access\nElise Hunter\, Policy & Regulatory Affairs Director\, GRID Alternatives\n\nLUNCH AND KEYNOTE DISCUSSION (1:00pm)\nMartha Guzman Aceves\, Commissioner\, California Public Utilities Commission \n#LEEPS #sharedsolar #solar #communitysolar #renewableenergy #GRIDAlternatives #solarforall #energyjustice \n\nAbout GRID Alternatives Greater Los Angeles\nGRID Alternatives Greater Los Angeles is an affiliate of GRID Alternatives\, the nation’s largest nonprofit solar installer\, bringing clean energy technology and job training to underserved communities.

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

SUMMARY:UCLA CAEV (CONNECTED AUTONOMOUS ELECTRIC VEHICLE) ANNUAL CONFERENCE
DESCRIPTION:Electric and Autonomous Transportation\nUCLA CAEV (Connected Autonomous Electric Vehicle) Annual Conference\nThe trillion dollar a year automotive industry\, after a century of its existence\, is undergoing a radical and transformative change as a result of technologies that enable a vehicle to be fueled by electricity\, be driven autonomously\, to be Internet connected and be precisely located and tracked as it transports people or assets to its destination. This is resulting in the transportation sector being turned upside down with car owners\, especially from the millennial generation\, often opting to use shared transportation network services such as Uber or Lyft in lieu of vehicle ownership. Transportation companies such as Fair are looking into the future of on-demand leasing whereby an environment conscious passenger may in-fact request a specific electric vehicle for a short lease. With the aim of getting passengers to and from their last mile of destination\, transportation sector is seeing yet a further level of innovation with the advent of micro-ride network services such as Bird\, whose riders can connect to another Transit service for their longer range travel needs. Buses themselves are now becoming increasingly electrified especially in densely populated urban areas – which society is demanding by way of their regulators for the purpose of reducing greenhouse gases. \nIn addition to people movement\, the fundamentals of transporting assets and goods are also being upended. Services such as Uber eats are delivering fully prepared meals economically to consumers as and when they want them. On the other hand\, transportation of goods such as those shipped from China into the LA/Long Beach ports and from there on in 40 foot containers will in the future be performed by electric trucks instead of diesel-based trucks. We are seeing several electric truck startup companies offering products to the market – and these have the potential to soon become autonomous and be able to deliver goods to their destination without the need for a driver\, use Artificial Intelligence (A.I.) to reduce road congestion\, and reduce green-house gases. \nFueling this change in the transportation sector is new technology in the Electric Vehicle (EV)/ Autonomous Vehicle (AV) space. A host of new companies such as Tesla\, Uber\, Google’s Waymo\, and others\, are innovating via advanced technology at a rate that has not been seen before in the field of transportation. Coupled with such innovations is the change in society’s demands towards clean and sustainable transportation by way of electricity as a fuel to reduce pollution (EVs such as Tesla)\, ride-sharing to reduce road congestion (Uber)\, and\, autonomous vehicles to improve traffic safety and manage traffic more effectively (Waymo by Google\, Cruise by GM). The optimized convergence of these three transportation demands coupled with advances in the relevant technologies such as communications\, GPS and sensors have the potential to result in exponentially compounded progress in the automotive field. \nWhile there is rapid innovation in automotive technologies\, the infrastructure to support the above vision of sustainable transportation including automatic traffic light sensing by the vehicle\, instantaneous traffic data\, Vehicle to Infrastructure (V2I) Communications\, Vehicle to Vehicle (V2V) communications\, managing and delivering electric power wirelessly to EVs (including shuttles and people movers) while in motion\, managing traffic dynamically based on real-time and historical data\, detecting and avoiding pedestrians\, and others\, are in their early stages at best. This makes it challenging for vehicle manufacturers to innovate towards fully autonomous and all electric vehicles beyond a point. Innovations in the areas of communications\, sensors\, GPS\, software\, cloud computing\, controls\, energy storage\, power management\, battery technology\, wireless EV charging during operation\, cybersecurity\, big data\, AI\, Machine Learning (ML)\, Data Science and Block Chains are paving the way to create the smart urban transportation infrastructure that would enable the above vision of a modern sustainable transportation future. \nIn UCLA\, the Connected Autonomous Electric Vehicle (CAEV) Consortium is working with its stakeholders towards creating thought leadership in the field of electric and autonomous vehicles. To support this leadership activity\, UCLA held its first workshop in June 2017 and a Round Table discussion with industry and government leaders in September 2018. The outcome of these two key events has propelled the need to host a technology-centric workshop on the subject which is being scheduled for March 5\, 2019. At the event\, UCLA faculty/researchers along with Industry and Government leadership will discuss the issues facing this fledgling field as it transitions to an industry. Topics discussed will include but not limited to: \n\nEV and AV Technology and Policy considerations in the California and the United States\nEV battery technologies and range considerations\nEnergy management in EV and EV charging\nAdvances in Autonomous Technologies\nRole of AI\, ML\, and Blockchain in AV development\nAdvanced EV/AV product design paradigms\nGPS and sensor technology for location tracking based services\nEV charging infrastructure and relevant technologies\nVehicle-Grid integration technologies and applications and role of electric grid operators\nOpen Vehicle-Grid Communications and Controls Interface\nNew EV protocols such as ISO 15118 for mobility and payments\nUsing renewable energy for sustainable electric transportation\nVariable transportation modalities such as e-scooter\, e-bike\, e-car\, e-van\, e-bus and e-truck\nNew models of car sharing in the context of EV and AV\nTransportation policies\, regulations and last mile services in urban settings\nTechnology advances and policy frameworks to keep up with such advances\n\nIn addition to creating Thought Leadership\, CAEV is working to support pilot projects\, proof-of-concepts\, field studies and research and technology demonstrations in the California region. To support such activities\, CAEV/SMERC has been developing a testbed in the campus and in the greater Los Angeles region. Plans for the development of this testbed will be shared with the event participants who will also be invited to provide input and feedback. The WINSmartEV (Wireless Internet Smart Electric Vehicle Network) testbed infrastructure developed by UCLA in the last decade with funding from U.S. Department of Energy and Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (UCLA participated in the $120M DOE Smart Grid demonstration grant cooperative agreement that funded the city of Los Angeles) and deployed within the university campus and with subsequent funding outside of campus in the Port of Los Angeles\, downtown Los Angeles\, Santa Monica\, Pasadena\, and Pomona\, will be presented. This testbed infrastructure will be used as a foundation platform to expand into the Smart City infrastructure field testbed to support autonomous and electric vehicles as they become more ubiquitous with our Smart Cities vision. Rapid deployment of such infrastructure in California would depend in part on progress made by policy makers at the local\, state and federal levels and therefore this event would bring them together with industry stakeholders at UCLA. \nSponsorship:\nIf you would like to become a sponsor for this conference\, please email: info@smartgrid.ucla.edu \n \n\n\n\n\nBryan Hansel\nCEO\nChanje\n\nClayton Schoeny\nData Scientist\nFair\n\nDakota Semler\nCEO\nThor Trucks\n\nJoseph Osha\nManaging Director\nJMP Securities LLC\n\n\n\nKatie Sloan\nPrincipal Manager\nSCE\n\nLeon Kaunitz\nDirector of Body and Structural Engineering\nNIO USA\, Inc.\n\nRajit Gadh\nDirector\nUCLA Smart Grid Energy Research Center\n\nStefan Krause\nFounder\nEvelozcity\n\n\n\nStella Li\nSenior Vice President and President\nBYD Company Limited and BYD Motors Inc.\n\nTsu-Chin Tsao\nProfessor\nUCLA Mechanical and Aerospace\n\nWaqar Hashim\nVLE and VP of Global Program Management\nFaraday Future\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nAlexander Keros\nManager\, Advanced Vehicle and Infrastructure Policy\nGeneral Motors\n\n\nAndrea Linder\nCustomer Experience Specialist\nPorsche Motorsport\n\n\nAngelina Galiteva\nBoard of Governors\nCalifornia ISO\n\n\nBernard Soriano\nDeputy Director\nCalifornia Department of Motor Vehicles\n\n\nBill Williams\nCommercial Sales Director\nProterra\, Inc\n\n\nCarley Markovitz\nTransportation & Land Use Planning Manager\nAECOM\n\n\nColton Ching\nVice President\, Energy Delivery\nHawaiian Electric Company\n\n\nDakota Semler\nCEO\nThor Trucks\n\n\nDale Thompson\nEngineer\nLADWP\n\n\nDoug Kim\nDirector\, Advanced Technology\nSouthern California Edison\n\n\nEric Mika\nGovernment\, and Corporate Affairs\nEVELOZCITY\n\n\nHenrik Fisker\nChairman\nFisker Inc.\n\n\nJoão Torres\nCEO\nEDP Distribuição\, Portuguese Distribution System Operator\n\n\nKevin Dasso\nSenior Director of Smart Grid & Technology Integration\nPacific Gas & Electric Company\n\n\nLee Krevat\nDirector – Smart Grid\nSan Diego Gas & Electric\n\n\nLeon Kaunitz\nDirector of Body\, Structural Engineering and Advanced Technology\nNextEV/NIO\n\n\nLivio Gallo\nChief Executive Officer\nEnel Distribuzione\n\n\nMani Srivastava\nProfessor\nUCLA Electrical Engineering\n\n\nMario Gerla\nProfessor\nUCLA Computer Science\n\n\nMark McGranaghan\nVice President\nElectric Power Research Institute\n\n\nMarvin Moon\nDirector of Power System Engineering\nLos Angeles Department of Water and Power\n\n\nMatt Mikio Miyasato\nAssistant Deputy Executive Officer\nAir Quality Management District\n\n\nMichael Liu\nDirector\, Energy Storage Business Development\nBYD America\n\n\nMichelle Bogen\nAdvanced Technology Engineer\nBMW Group Technology Office\n\n\nNancy Ryan\nDeputy Executive Director for Policy\nCPUC\n\n\nNancy Sutley\nChief Sustainability and Economic Development Officer\nLADWP\n\n\nPat Hoffman\nAssistant Secretary\nU.S. DOE\n\n\nRajit Gadh\nDirector\nUCLA Smart Grid Energy Research Center\n\n\nRamanath Ramakrishnan\nEVP & Chief Technology Officer\nEaton\n\n\nRobert Weisenmiller\nChair\nCalifornia Energy Commission\n\n\nRyan Harty\nManager of Connected and Environmental Business Development\nAmerican Honda Motor Co.\n\n\nSharmila Ravula\nCCO and VP of Business Development\nBosch Building Grid Technologies\n\n\nStephen B.

SUMMARY:Climate Change on Trial: An Earth Day Conversation with Julia Olson\, Lead Attorney for Landmark Children's Climate Lawsuit
DESCRIPTION:April 22 event at Fowler Museum at UCLA will feature Julia Olson\, Executive Director and Chief Legal Counsel for Our Children’s Trust\, and lead attorney for plaintiffs in Juliana v. United States\n\nDate: 04/22/2019\nTime: 05:15 PM – 07:45 PM\nLocation: The Fowler Museum at UCLA\, 308 Charles E Young Dr N\, Los Angeles\, CA 90024\n\n\n\nToday’s young people and their children and grandchildren will bear the brunt of global warming. The effects American communities are experiencing today – heat waves\, sea-level rise\, extreme rainfall\, crop failures\, and wildfires – will worsen over time. \nIn 2015\, 21 youth plaintiffs filed suit against the federal government\, arguing that by subsidizing fossil fuels and failing to control greenhouse gas emissions the United States is violating the children’s constitutional rights to life\, liberty\, and property. The innovative case\, Juliana v. United States\, has survived two appeals to the U.S. Supreme Court\, but government lawyers continue to fight to prevent the case from ever heading to trial. \nAt an Earth Day event hosted by UCLA School of Law’s Emmett Institute on Climate Change and the Environment\, Julia Olson\, Executive Director and Chief Legal Counsel for Our Children’s Trust\, and lead attorney for the youth plaintiffs\, will deliver an evening lecture to discuss this groundbreaking case. Olson’s work has been profiled in 60 Minutes\, The Washington Post\, CNN\, Vogue\, NPR\, and many other leading media outlets. University of Oregon Law Professor Mary Wood told The New York Times\, “she has built not just a case\, but a movement.” \nFollowing the lecture\, UCLA Emmett Institute Faculty Director and Shapiro Law Professor Ann Carlson will moderate a discussion and Q&A with the speaker. A reception will precede the event. The event is open to the public. \nThe event is co-sponsored by UCLA Institute of the Environment and Sustainability\, UCLA Sustainability\, and the UCLA Sustainable LA Grand Challenge. \nRSVP: \nPlease use this form to RSVP by April 18\, 2019 \nDATE/TIME: \nApril 22\, 2019 \nReception: 5:15 p.m. – 6:15 p.m. \nProgram: 6:15 p.m. – 7:45 p.m. \nLOCATION: \nThe Fowler Museum at UCLA \n308 Charles E Young Dr N \nLos Angeles\, CA 90024 \nSPEAKER BIOS: \nJulia Olson\, Executive Director & Chief Legal Counsel\, Our Children’s Trust \nJulia Olson graduated from the University of Colorado at Boulder in 1993 with a B.A. in International Affairs and from the University of California\, Hastings College of the Law\, with a J.D. in 1997.
