Building Resilience to Extreme Heat in California
2023-01-12 10:00 - 11:30 | Online
Last year, the City of Los Angeles spearheaded an innovative community engagement process around the question, “What are you most worried about regarding climate change impacts?” Led by the Climate Emergency Mobilization Office (CEMO) and involving hundreds of stakeholders, the resulting answer was extreme heat. What can be done to address the serious threat that hotter, longer summers pose to our communities?
Join The Climate Center and CEMO for a webinar focused on how climate resilience community hubs can keep people safe during extreme heat waves. Presenters include community leaders and experts from leading agencies who will discuss energy resilience as a possible solution to extreme heat threats.

Federal Cost-Benefit Analysis Policies for Evaluating Nature-Based Solutions
2023-01-12 09:00 - 10:30 | Online
US federal agencies use cost-benefit analysis (CBA) to make decisions about the types of infrastructure projects to implement. Current federal CBA policies tend to favor gray infrastructure projects over Nature-based Solutions (NbS). Join the third session of the Nature-Based Solutions: Current Issues webinar series to hear from experts working with the federal government to think about how these policies might be updated to enable more NbS projects to get implemented.
This webinar series is being hosted by the National Ecosystem Services Partnership (NESP) and the Resilience Roadmap Project at the Nicholas Institute for Energy, Environment & Sustainability, and we are very pleased to have the Coastal Flood Resilience Project co-hosting this session.
Jeff Peterson (moderator), Co-Facilitator, Coastal Flood Resilience Project
Jessie Ritter, Senior Director, Water Resources and Coastal Policy, National Wildlife Foundation
Melissa Samet, Senior Water Resources Counsel, National Wildlife Federation
Sarah Murdock, Director, US Climate Adaptation Policy, The Nature Conservancy
Jordan Fischbach, Director, Planning and Policy Research, Water Institute of the Gulf
ABOUT THE SERIES:
Nature-based solutions are actions to protect, manage, or restore natural or modified ecosystems that address societal challenges. These solutions are varied and multi-purpose, and are important tools to simultaneously benefit both people and nature. Interest in NbS is growing from both the public and private sectors, as is the desire to scale up implementation—so conversations around NbS effectiveness, execution, funding, and policies are more crucial than ever. Explore current NbS issues, discover promising practices, and hear from experts working in this field during a new webinar series: Nature-Based Solutions: Current Issues. The series is organized by the National Ecosystem Services Partnership and the Resilience Roadmap project.

Lunch Chat: The Secret Power of Beavers
2022-12-08 12:00 - 13:00 | Online
For centuries, beavers have been known for their ability to provide ecosystem services. By damming rivers and creating ponds, beavers create new habitats for many plants and animals. In fact, their engineering skills are so impressive that they are now being considered as a possible solution to climate change.
That’s right; these furry little creatures could help save our ecosystems! Here’s how.
It’s no secret that California is facing a water crisis. With the state in the grips of a record-setting drought, Californians are looking for ways to conserve water. But did you know that beavers can help solve our water woes?
Beavers are nature’s engineers. They are hard-working creatures that build dams, which create ponds and wetlands. These ponds and wetlands help to store water, slow the erosion of soils, and filter out pollutants.
In other words, beavers help to improve water quality!
Not only do beavers help to improve water quality, but they also play an important role in recharging groundwater aquifers. When it rains, the water seeps into the ground and is stored in aquifers. Aquifers are like underground sponges that store water and make it available for plants and animals to use during dry periods.
Beavers help to recharge groundwater aquifers by building their dams in strategic locations where they can trap runoff from rainfall events. This runoff would otherwise flow downstream and be lost to evaporation.

Impact of Hydropower on Carbon Emissions and River Ecosystem Protection
2022-12-07 08:00 - 10:00 | Online
Construction of major reservoirs and dams is nothing new. While their construction in some countries has slowed down or stopped ( i.e., United States), many nations especially in developing world is continuing. These structures play an important role in regulating river flow and serving multiple purposes including flood control, water supply and power generation among others. With respect to power generation, hydropower is one of the cleanest sources. However, the conversation about the pros and cons of major reservoirs and the tradeoff between their beneficial role and their adverse environmental impact has continued for decades and will likely continue in the future.
With concern about climate change, the debate within the environmental community has gradually been shifting towards the tradeoff between reduction of greenhouse gases and the impact on river ecosystem.
Our first virtual Rosenberg Forum of 2022-2023 will address this issue with the following objectives:
To overview the roles of hydropower in reducing greenhouse gas emissions and in achieving carbon neutrality
To examine the impact of hydropower plants on river ecosystem and to review the effectiveness of associated conservation measures
To discuss how hydropower development can help in achieving UN Sustainability Development Goals
