Is Solar Geoengineering a Viable Tool in the Climate Policy Arsenal?
2023-04-19 09:00 - 10:00 | HYBRID: UPenn Kleinman Energy Forum and Zoom, Fisher Fine Arts Library, 220 S 34th Street, Philadelphia, PA, 19104, United States
This is a hybrid event. For those attending virtually, a Zoom link will be sent out the day of the event.
As the planet nears the critical warming threshold of 1.5C (3F), a class of controversial climate interventions, often described under the umbrella term of “Geoengineering”—the intentional manipulation of Earth’s planetary environment to offset the warming effects of carbon pollution–are coming increasingly into focus on the national and international policy stage. Such manipulations potentially include what’s called “solar geoengineering” or “Solar Radiation Management” , which refer to efforts to reduce the surface warming by the Sun (e.g. through the periodic injection of reflective particles into the stratosphere to mimic the cooling by an explosive volcanic eruption). They also include approaches to capture carbon from the atmosphere, followed by subsequent storage beneath Earth’s surface or in the deep ocean, known as carbon dioxide removal.
A panel with diverse views and backgrounds on the topic will explore questions surrounding solar geoengineering.
The Penn Center for Science, Sustainability and the Media is excited to host and sponsor this event with Kleinman Center for Energy Policy and Perry World House. This event will be both in-person and streamed live and recorded for later viewing.

Zines are self-published, non-commercial print work that is typically produced in small, limited batches. Zines generally look like mini-magazines and have historically been used to spread activism efforts; though many have been made about music, interests, fandoms, and much more. You can make a zine about anything!
Our event partner, the Common Experience at UCLA, selects a title for the Bruin community to read, listen or watch together each year. The mission of the Common Experience is to ignite campus-wide discussions on compelling social issues and inspire action.
This year, the Common Experience selected Leah Thomas’s The Intersectional Environmentalist, aligned with their 2022-23 Sustainability and Climate Change theme. The first 20 people to attend the event will win a copy of The Intersectional Environmentalist!

Watson Lecture: Electrifying and Decarbonizing Chemical Synthesis
2023-04-19 19:30 - 20:30 | Caltech Beckman Auditorium, 332 S Michigan Ave, Pasadena, CA, 91106, United States
Online and In-Person Event
Karthish Manthiram, Professor of Chemical Engineering and Chemistry; William H. Hurt Scholar, Division of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering
There is a significant carbon footprint behind the physical world, including the fabrics we wear, the foods we eat, and the disinfectants we spray. This problem presents the need to find ways to synthesize chemicals and materials in a sustainable manner that eliminates greenhouse gas emissions from these products. In this lecture, Manthiram will discuss how his lab is developing an approach that uses electricity to convert air and water into the useful chemicals and materials we rely on every day.
This lecture will be presented in a hybrid format, allowing for both virtual viewers and in-person attendees. No advance registration is required for either format but you may sign up for reminders about this event.
How to watch online
The lecture can be viewed via live stream on caltech.edu/watson or on Caltech’s YouTube channel.
Virtual viewers can submit questions for the lecturer through the YouTube chat feed. Select questions will be answered after the lecture, during the audience Q&A.
How to attend in person
Local participants can attend the lecture inside Caltech’s Beckman Auditorium. Doors open at 7:00 p.m.
About the Series
The 2022–2023 season marks the centennial of The Earnest C. Watson Lecture Series, which has brought Caltech’s most innovative scientific research to the public since the Friday Evening Demonstrations premiered in October of 1922. The series is named for Earnest C. Watson, a professor of physics at Caltech from 1919 until 1959. The Watson Lectures are geared toward a general audience, as part of the Institute’s ongoing commitment to benefiting the local community through education and outreach.

Cities on the Frontline Speaker Series: Conserving Water with Equity
2023-04-20 07:30 - 08:30 | Online
The impact of drought and water scarcity on cities can be highly detrimental. France experienced a historic drought in the summer of 2022, which prompted almost nationwide water restrictions and triggered a new movement on “sobriety”, the realization of the need to save water. US cities are facing similar challenges, and some cities have proven that water can be used more effectively while ensuring continued water access for vulnerable and marginalized groups. Still, climate change has caused droughts to be more severe by increasing their frequency, duration and intensity. Cities must rethink and speed up their efforts to tackle these more severe water scarcity and drought challenges for the well-being of their communities.
The fourth session of the Cities on the Frontline Speaker Series 2023, with the support of the Embassy of the United States of America, France and co-hosted with France Ville Durable, will focus on “Conserving Water with Equity”. The session will be held in collaboration with partners France Ville Durable and the World Bank. By bringing together Paris and Dallas, we will take a deeper look at how cities can build and strengthen systems, policies and infrastructure to ensure that everyone, especially vulnerable and marginalized groups, continue to have access to clean and safe water. Alicia Lee, Water Conservation Manager from the City of Dallas will join us to share the initiatives they have successfully developed and implemented to face the intensifying water scarcity and droughts, and François Croquette, Director for Ecological Transition and Climate, City of Paris will help us understand how Paris plans to prepare the city and its communities to adapt and thrive.
French simultaneous interpretation will be available for this session.

2023-04-21 09:30 - 15:00 | HYBRID: Bancroft Hotel and Zoom, 2680 Bancroft Way, Berkeley, CA, 94704, United States
California confronts a set of interlocking policy challenges that threaten its future vitality.

But as the price of housing has spiraled out of control and as climate change has multiplied the risks posed by drought and wildfires to communities, the state must develop new strategies that safeguard its future. This conference will bring together academic experts, policymakers, and advocates for a discussion of both the underlying problems facing the state and potential solutions.
In addition to a lunchtime Keynote by State Controller Bette Yee, the conference will feature three panels: “Safeguarding California’s Communities in the Face of Climate Change,” “California as Energy Leader,” and “Addressing the State’s Housing Crisis.”
