SUMMARY:UCLA Climate Justice Forum 2022
DESCRIPTION:Environmentalists of Color Collective at UCLA (ECC) and UCLA’s Carbon Neutrality Initiative (CNI) are proud to present 2022’s Climate Justice Forum! This event is open to members of the UCLA community. Please fill out this form by April 3rd\, 11:59 pm to secure your spot. \nWe’ll be exploring whether it is realistic to navigate our uncertain future through the lens of climate optimism\, as well as approaches to dealing with climate anxiety and feelings of paralysis in fighting for a healthy world through speakers\, activities\, and dinner. We aim to center this conversation on BIPOC identities and experiences and to get people involved in climate justice action in their communities. \nThis in-person event will be held at the Barbara and Joseph Goldenberg Terrace at the Fowler Museum on UCLA’s campus\, though we are following COVID-19 guidelines closely should there be a need to move it to an online format. We will be checking vaccination cards or negative COVID tests at the door. If you have questions\, please email ecc.ucla@gmail.com with the header “Climate Justice Forum Questions.” \nREGISTER HERE

SUMMARY:Impact Week Conference 2022: The Future of LA
DESCRIPTION:Impact Week 2022 will focus on the future of Los Angeles by examining what our extraordinarily diverse city looks like right now. We will consider the factors contributing to the life experience — and disparities — in L.A. and discuss how different sectors interconnect. We will examine the built environment\, inequitable food access\, public green spaces\, the mayor’s Sustainable City Plan \, the burgeoning tech economy of Silicon Beach\, improvements in public transit alongside skyrocketing real estate prices\, growing numbers of unhoused people and soaring temperatures amid worsening drought. \nIn six years\, the world will be watching when Los Angeles takes center stage as host of the 2028 Summer Olympics. Will the city present itself as a thriving and healthy metropolis? How will the city showcase its willingness to innovate and incorporate diverse thoughts to create social action? Which local corporations are seeding positive changes now that will sow benefits come 2028? \nTo attempt to answer those questions and inspire discussion\, we will hear from a range of panelists and keynote speakers from both the private and public sectors. We seek change-makers from the grassroots level to the heights of industry who recognize UCLA’s research\, education and service missions as crucial to the future of our region. By examining different L.A. neighborhoods\, Impact Week 2022 will train a lens on the business solutions best poised to improve the social determinants of health for Los Angelenos. \nREGISTER HERE

SUMMARY:AI Earth Summit 2022
DESCRIPTION:As the cycle of climate tech innovation and investment accelerates\, emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence and machine learning will continue to play a growing role in sustainable development. Join us for an engaging and inspiring day of conversations and collaboration centered around the planet and our technology’s place within it. This year’s Earth Summit will be hybrid—the first time in-person activities are returning since 2019’s event—there are even greater opportunities to collaborate with fellow sustainability-driven minds across the Southern California region and beyond. \nIn mid-March\, AI LA kicked off an Open Innovation Challenge with LA County to invite geospatial scientists\, machine learning engineers\, and designers to build teams to solve a high-priority problem in LA County involving invasive pests destroying our trees. Teams are currently using satellite imagery to develop an alert system that could be used by LA County and other regions that are battling this growing issue of invasive pests killing our trees. During AI LA’s Earth Summit\, teams will present their solutions and compete to win a $10\,000 grant\, office hours with Starburst Aerospace\, free corporate services with Wilson Sonsini\, and other ecosystem support. \nMeanwhile\, speaker panels at Earth Summit ranging from sustainable aerospace innovation to climate tech investment will inspire further conversations.

SUMMARY:Saging The World Premiere
DESCRIPTION:“Saging” has become common in movies\, TV shows\, social media\, and cleansing rituals –people burning sage bundles in the hope of purifying space and clearing bad energy. Instead of healing\, the appropriated use of saging in popular culture is having a harmful effect. Indigenous communities have tended a relationship with white sage for thousands of generations. White sage (Salvia apiana) only occurs in southern California and northern Baja California\, Mexico. Today\, poachers are stealing metric tons of this plant from the wild to supply international demand. Saging the World spotlights the ecological and cultural issues intertwined with white sage\, centering the voices of Native advocates who have long protected and cherished this plant. \nJoin us for the world premiere of Saging the World on Earth Day\, Friday\, April 22 at the Warner Grand Theatre is San Pedro. The screening will include a panel discussion with Native advocates from the film\, as well as a white sage plant giveaway. \nREGISTER HERE \nThe short documentary was produced by Rose Ramirez\, Deborah Small\, and the California Native Plant Society to foster awareness and inspire action for white sage. This Earth Day\, go from smudging to seeding as we come together to see plants not just as “resources\,” but as “relationships.” For more information on the documentary and campaign\, visit cnps.org/sagingtheworld. \nGuests are required to show proof of vaccination\, a negative PCR test within 48 hours\, or a negative antigen test within 24 hours. CNPS is requiring all guests to wear a mask during the event and is offering fewer tickets than the capacity of the theatre to provide additional spacing.

SUMMARY:InterActions LA: Inclusive Approaches to Electric Carsharing
DESCRIPTION:Electric carsharing holds enormous potential for our cities — they can provide safe\, clean\, and convenient ways to travel and\, for those unable to afford personal vehicles\, they increase access to opportunities. Over the past five years\, a new wave of carsharing services supported by public funding using electric vehicles has emerged. Nonprofit models have operated at a large scale in the San Francisco Bay Area\, Chicago\, and elsewhere\, while public and community-controlled programs are emerging in Sacramento and Los Angeles. \nAt this year’s InterActions LA event\, we’ll hear how people have benefited from electric carsharing programs and how agencies of different types may want to get involved. Speakers will also discuss sustainable business models\, operational approaches that can fill mobility gaps\, and outreach strategies to ensure the programs are known to people who stand to benefit the most. \nREGISTER HERE

SUMMARY:"Saging the World" Movie Showing
DESCRIPTION:Sponsored by UCLA’s Special Advisor to the Chancellor on Native American and Indigenous Affairs Mishuana Goeman and California Native Plant Society and Indigenous advocates. \nREGISTER HERE \nPANELISTS: \n\n\n\nHeidi Lucero (Acjachemen and Mustun Ohlone)\nSamantha Morales Johnson (Gabrielino Tongva)\nKimberly Morales Johnson (Gabrielino Tongva)\nNick Rocha (Gabrielino Shoshone)\nCraig Torres (Tongva)\n\n\n\nSage smudging has become a viral trend. What’s the truth behind the smoke? \n“Saging” has become common in movies\, TV shows\, social media\, and cleansing rituals–people burning sage bundles in the hope of purifying space and clearing bad energy. Instead of healing\, the appropriated use of saging in popular culture is having a harmful effect. \nIndigenous communities have tended a relationship with white sage for thousands of generations. White sage (Salvia apiana) only occurs in southern California and northernBaja California\, Mexico. Today\, poachers are stealing metric tons of this plant from the wild to supply international demand. Saging the World spotlights the ecological and cultural issues intertwined with white sage\, centering the voices of Native advocates who have long protected and cherished this plant. \nThe short documentary was produced by Rose Ramirez\, Deborah Small\, and the California Native Plant Society to foster awareness and inspire action for white sage. For more information on the film and ways to support white sage\, visit cnps.org/sagingtheworld.
