SUMMARY:Can Democracies Deal with the Climate Crisis?
DESCRIPTION:The environmental consequences of the 2024 presidential election are coming into sharper focus as the U.S. confronts one of the largest climate-fueled disasters in its history. But the U.S. is not the only country where climate politics are complicating climate policy. Some political scientists are asking whether democracies are adequately equipped to deal with the growing climate crisis. \nJoin the Emmett Institute for a provocative discussion about the challenges that the climate crisis poses to constitutional democracies. Can the global-scale and long-term efforts needed to address climate change gain and sustain democratic support? Can democratic national governments support equitable global sharing of burdens? Can they act effectively in response to incomplete or uncertain scientific information? Can they make decisions whether to include geoengineering interventions in climate response and if so how to govern them?  How does rising populism influence the answers to these questions? And how can national and global institutions be redesigned to effectively address the climate challenge? \nCristóbal Bellolio is Associate Professor at the School of Government\, Universidad Adolfo Ibáñez in Chile\, where he studies political theory and its relation to science\, religion\, populism\, constitutional debates\, and Latin American politics. In 2024-2025\, he holds the Tinker Visiting Professorship at the University of Chicago. \nBellolio will be joined in conversation with Professor Ted Parson\, Faculty Director of the UCLA Emmett Institute\, and an expert in international environmental law and policy and the role of science and technology in policy-making. \nREGISTER HERE

SUMMARY:Wildfire disaster\, recovery\, and resilience: what have we learned?
DESCRIPTION:Join the first event in the 2024-2025 Focus on Environment and Sustainability Series\, a three-part special seminar exploring critical environmental challenges. The first seminar in this series\, to be given by Prof. Crystal Kolden from UC Merced\, has been rescheduled to Monday\, February 3 from 2-4 pm in the California Nanosystems Institute (CNSI) auditorium. \nLight refreshments will be available starting at 1:30 and there will be a Q&A session following her talk. \nCrystal A. Kolden\nAssociate Professor in the Management of Complex Systems department\,\nSchool of Engineering\, at the University of California\, Merced \nIn 1991\, the Tunnel-Oakland Hills Fire in the San Francisco Bay Area of California destroyed over 3\,000 homes in just a few short hours\, ushering in the modern era of Wildland-Urban Interface wildfires. Since then\, over 50\,000 structures have been destroyed in the US by wildfire\, displacing tens of thousands of people for weeks to years. As most of these disasters have occurred in the last decade\, little is known about the post-fire recovery process and what processes drive or hinder it. We evaluated recent wildfire disasters in California in order to improve understanding of how communities are affected by and recovering from wildfire disasters. We found that communities recover extremely slowly from wildfire stemming from challenges that are unique to the post-wildfire landscape. These include long-term exclusion from the burned area relative to other disasters due to the requirements around hazardous tree and toxic waste removal\, critical infrastructure loss\, exacerbation of existing affordable housing shortages\, regulatory challenges\, and substantial problems with duplication of benefits\, uninsurance\, and underinsurance. Socially vulnerable populations are further marginalized by wildfire disasters\, and there is evidence for gentrification in post-fire areas yielding climate migrations. Despite these many challenges\, need has produced innovative solutions that can improve the post-fire recovery process and mitigate future wildfire disasters. \nREGISTER HERE

SUMMARY:Marschak Colloquium series: Generationally Parochial Geoengineering?
DESCRIPTION:Presented by the UCLA Library and the Jacob Marschak Interdisciplinary Colloquium on Mathematics in the Behavioral Sciences \nSpeaker: Stephen M. Gardiner\, professor of philosophy and Ben Rabinowitz Professor of the Human Dimensions of the Environment at the University of Washington\, Seattle \nGardiner maintains that the threat of intergenerational tyranny ought to be a core concern in environmental governance and policy. In this talk\, he shares how the idea was motivated through an exploration of a key contemporary example\, the threat of generationally-parochial geoengineering (‘GPG’). To do so\, Gardiner and colleagues developed the concept of GPG\, suggested some salient scenarios and identified early warning signs in the current scientific and policy literature. \nGardiner concludes with the offering that GPG ought to be a central issue in both the ethics of geoengineering and any serious scientific\, political or policy discussion of such technologies. \nThis talk is offered both in person and online. Light refreshments will be served. Registration is required. \nREGISTER HERE

SUMMARY:Carbon Politics\, American Power\, and the Almighty Dollar
DESCRIPTION:Lunch will be served for registered attendees. \nMark Blyth\, William R. Rhodes ’57 Prof International Economics & Acting Director\, Climate Solutions Lab \nIf a Trump administration doubles down on carbon\, the short-term boost to growth through lower input prices plus deregulation will be huge. Climate denial can be profitable. But the rest of the world\, China\, Europe and East and South Asia\, will continue to develop the green technologies needed to survive in the 21st century. The US will fall behind in this critical area as the countries involved in the green transition trade more intensely with each other. The lock on effect is that the global role of the dollar shrinks. First\, because the issuer doesn’t like the side effects. Second\, because in a post carbon world\, who needs a currency that denominates and is back by carbon assets that no one else uses anymore? In short\, our addiction to carbon and the politics that it produces risks burning down the house. \nREGISTER HERE

SUMMARY:Public Gathering: Fire Kinship - Southern California Native Ecology and Art
DESCRIPTION:You are invited to a public community gathering in honor of the exhibition Fire Kinship: Southern California Native Ecology and Art. Fire Kinship challenges the attitudes of fear and illegality around fire\, arguing for a return to Native practices\, in which fire is regarded as a vital aspect of land stewardship\, community well-being\, and tribal sovereignty. Highlighting the knowledge and expertise of the Tongva\, Cahuilla\, Luiseño\, and Kumeyaay peoples\, the exhibition—on view through July 13\, 2025—presents a living history of communities past and present. \nThe Fowler Museum mourns the tragic loss of life and devastation caused by Southern California wildfires. We are deeply grateful to firefighters\, first responders\, and tribal nations for their heroic efforts. In this critical moment\, Fire Kinship offers valuable lessons in Indigenous fire stewardship and ecological resilience. We hope it will inspire reflection\, healing\, and sustainable rebuilding. \nThe evening will begin with a welcome from a local California Indian community\, followed by a reception\, and opportunity to view the exhibition and reflect on the role of fire stewardship in our communities. \nREGISTER HERE

SUMMARY:Horticultural Society meeting\, featuring UCLA Mathias Botanical Garden Waterworks Project
DESCRIPTION:The Southern California Horticultural Society will host a live program\, to be presented by Allison Keeney\, the assistant director of the UCLA Mathias Botanical Garden\, who has been overseeing various aspects of the garden’s renovation. The focus of her talk will be on a large-scale waterworks project that includes a comprehensive irrigation and stream system\, along with the strategic establishment of riparian plantings.   \nKeeney is a third-generation Angeleno who grew up spending most of her time outdoors\, fascinated by plants. This led to her working at a plant nursery during high school\, where she realized that horticulture would become her career path.  Keeney earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Horticulture from California Polytechnic State University\, San Luis Obispo\, and she has remained in the plant world ever since. For the past three years\, she has been serving as the assistant director of the UCLA Mathias Botanical Garden.  \nIn her current position\, Keeney oversaw the installation of the Tongva basket weaving garden\, the design and planting of high visibility areas\, and the creation of Clarkia Hill\, which features the Mathias garden’s signature flower\, as seen on its new branding logo. Most recently\, she initiated the ambitious waterworks project undergoing construction. Plans include a water-saving irrigation system\, an efficient stream\, and adjacent garden areas that will feature California native riparian and a wetland plants. Altogether\, Keeney’s various projects are aimed at improving the garden while she concurrently maintains and curates its diverse plant collection\, primarily designed for teaching and research missions at UCLA. \nPlease join us to learn more about this local treasure on the UCLA campus in Westwood that is free and open to the public. \nMore info at https://socalhort.org/. \nAnnouncements:   7:10 p.m.   /   Plant Forum:   7:15 p.m.  /  Program:   7:30 p.m. \nFREE for Members  /  $5.00 for Non-Members \nProgram will be recorded for the SCHS YouTube archive.
