SUMMARY:Fueling The Intersectional Environmental Movement with Debra Gore-Mann
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER HERE\nClimate action and racial justice are inextricably linked. However\, while the worst effects of climate change have disproportionately harmed communities of color\, the historical faces of climate action have predominantly been white. The discussion will cover the environmental justice movement\, its progress and challenges\, and how corporations should get involved. \nDebra Gore-Mann is President and CEO of the Greenlining Institute. With an engineering degree and an M.B.A. from Stanford (where she was the only African American woman in a class of 300 graduate students)\, her work has spanned across the private\, public and political sectors in uplifting low opportunity communities with funding\, team building and financial and people resources. Most recently\, she led the San Francisco Conservation Corps\, America’s first urban municipal youth corps. \nAs Greenlining’s President and CEO\, Debra guides the organization’s growth and direction and serves as the unifying voice for multifaceted policy work\, bringing her unique\, intersectional perspective to bear. She works with the board to oversee the organization’s finances\, management and governance and partners with staff and board to develop programs and policy strategies to advance racial and economic justice and to strengthen ties with The Greenlining Coalition.

SUMMARY:Carbon-Capture Symposium
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for a virtual webinar we are planning for November 30 and December 1 on carbon-capture.  This webinar will include leading researchers from UC Irvine\, UCLA\, UC Berkeley\, UC Davis\, MIT\, Carnegie-Mellon University\, Georgia Tech\, Ohio State University\, Arizona State University\, HY-TEK Bio\, Verdox\, and Mosaic Materials.  Several presentations will focus on carbon-capture technologies that are now at the point where scaling-up to mid-scale demonstration projects is the next developmental stage on the path to utility-scale solutions.  As such\, some of the innovations that will be presented may benefit from a CO2 exhaust stream\, for example from a co-generation plant\, in a research university setting where the facilities engineers and faculty researchers can play a role in monitoring and evaluating a CC demonstration project.  I expect that a number of webinar participants will be from universities with CHP plants and an interest in helping to advance carbon-capture solutions that hopefully will prove scalable. \n  \nYou may be curious about our interest in exploring and fostering carbon-capture technologies.  Many leading climate scientists believe that carbon-capture as well as energy de-carbonization may be essential to avoid 2 degree C. overshoot.  Moreover\, we believe that speeding up\, as well as attaining\, carbon-free energy will not be a single-path solution\, but rather a mosaic of technology and  infrastructure solutions that work in synergy to provide resilience and grid stability that will be increasingly critical as weather and seasonal extremes exacerbate the path to carbon-free energy. \nIn the spirit of bi-coastal collaboration on climate solutions\, this virtual colloquium will be co-sponsored by the University of Maryland and the University of California\, Irvine.  Presenters will include: \n  \nShota Atsumi\, Professor of Chemistry\, UC Davis \nJack Brouwer\, Professor of Mechanical\, Aerospace\, and Environmental Engineering and Director of the UC Irvine Advanced Power and Energy Program and National Fuel Research Center \nLiang-Shih Fan\, Distinguished University Professor of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering\, The Ohio State University \nChristopher W. Jones\, William R. McLain Chair and Professor of Chemical & Biomolecular Engineering\, Georgia Tech \nKlaus Lackner\, Professor\, School of Sustainable Engineering and the Built Environment of the Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering\, Arizona State University and Director of Center for Negative Carbon Emissions \nJeffrey R. Long\, Professor of Chemistry and Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering\, University of California\, Berkeley and Co-Founder\, Mosaic Materials \nRobert “Bob” Mroz\, Founder/CEO of HY-TEK Bio\, a Baltimore tech startup that is operating a demonstration facility of Bob’s algae-based carbon-capture system \nEdward S. Rubin\, Alumni Chair Professor of Environmental Engineering and Science; Professor of Engineering & Public Policy and Mechanical Engineering; Senior Fellow\, Wilton E. Scott Institute for Energy Innovation\, Carnegie Mellon University \nGaurav Sant\, Professor of Engineering at UCLA \nSahag Voskian\, Chemistry Department\, MIT\, and Co-Founder and Chief Technology Officer at Verdox \nJenny Yang\, UC Irvine Professor of Chemistry \n  \nWe plan to allot ample time for Q&A (more than has been commonplace in recent webinars where one or two questions are possible per speaker).  If you are interested in registering for this virtual colloquium\, please use this link:\nhttps://uci.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_4SyXG5nwTT-OIVteh6Iy3w

SUMMARY:Making Climate History at the Supreme Court
DESCRIPTION:Please join the Emmett Institute this Wednesday\, March 3\, at 12:15 p.m. PST\, for a talk with Harvard Law professor Richard Lazarus to discuss his book\, The Rule of Five: Making Climate History at the Supreme Court\, on the landmark Massachusetts v. EPA decision and the court’s role in environmental law and policy. \nREGISTER HERE\nWhen the Supreme Court announced its ruling in Massachusetts v. EPA the decision was hailed as a landmark\, leading EPA to regulate carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gas emissions as pollutants and making possible important environmental safeguards which the Trump administration sought to unravel\, and which President Biden is now planning to restore. The case has been recognized as the most important environmental law decision made by the Supreme Court. \nAt an Emmett Institute book talk on Wednesday\, March 3\, Richard Lazarus\, Howard and Katherine Aibel Professor of Law at Harvard Law School\, and author of The Rule of Five: Making Climate History at the Supreme Court\, will describe how accidents\, infighting\, luck\, superb lawyering\, and the arcane practices of the Supreme Court collided to produce a legal miracle. Cara Horowitz\, Andrew Sabin Family Foundation Co-Executive Director of the Emmett Institute\, will moderate the conversation.

SUMMARY:UC Berkeley Students of Color Environmental Collective Convention 2021
DESCRIPTION:Why are people of color excluded from the environmental movement? Why do so few Black and Brown folks go camping or to national parks? Why is it that Indigenous communities\, who are stewards of the land\, don’t get represented on larger environmental decisions? Why do so many students of color feel disconnected from nature and outdoor spaces? \nSCECon 2021: Our World\, Our Time\, Our Voices aims to recenter the environmental narrative around environmental justice by giving intentional space for students of color to learn about unique and intersectional environmental topics and share our own view of environmentalism. As members of a multi-faceted community\, we must come together to build harmony\, focusing on equity\, peace\, and collective liberation. Our conference is focused on democratizing environmental education through engaging panels and both individual and community-based activism workshops. \nWe hope to lay the groundwork to start a larger conversation and movement about what environmentalism means to us\, as students of color in the 21st century. SCECon 2021 is about us — because it’s our world\, our time\, and our voices. \nREGISTER HERE
