SUMMARY:Elemental Readings: Air - Day 1
DESCRIPTION:A Luskin Endowment for Thought Leadership Conference\, co-sponsored by the Departments of Classics and English\, UCLA. May 19th – 20th\, 2023. \nRecent work across a range of fields in the humanities and arts\, as well as in environmental\, media and digital studies\, has paid increasing attention to the role of the elements in shaping our experience and understanding of the world. This conference brings together scholars from a variety of disciplines who are seeking to redefine the role of air\, atmosphere\, and the weather in traditionally non-scientific media (predominantly poetry\, writing\, music\, photography\, and film). The topic invites discussion of the mutability of weather as an invisible ontology (and marker of climate change) as well as discussions of atmosphere (whose porous and unfinished nature embraces a broad range of entities\, from modes of knowing and feeling\, to the stuff we breathe\, to outer space). In each of these cases\, air’s mediating possibilities across fields\, materials\, and periods are especially rich for collaboration and the exchange of ideas. \nOur conference seeks fruitful points of contact between two colleagues in English and Classics at UCLA\, who both work on air and the elements\, joining with scholars from media studies\, art history and environmental humanities\, for a multifaceted discussion of a common object. \nThe conference will be on site only. Please send any enquiries to purves@g.ucla.edu \nREGISTER HERE

SUMMARY:UNICEF Walk for Water Walkathon
DESCRIPTION:Learn more about water insecurity and walk to raise funds for UNICEF’s Water\, Sanitation and Hygiene Mission. \nThis event aims to raise money for UNICEF\, with volunteers asking their close friends and family to pledge just 75 cents for each mile they walk at the event towards projects that work to provide clean water access to communities in LA\, California\, and the United States! \nThis is a great opportunity for your members to get involved with the local community and a splendid way to earn important community service hours. (We would be happy to officiate service documents!) More importantly\, they are able to join hands to effect real change in a global setting. \nThroughout the event\, they will be encouraged to learn about water insecurity in LA\, California\, and the world through booths and water stations being set up across the track\, as well as request songs they would like to hear played as they walk! We are also open to having you set up booths at the event\, should you be interested.  \nWe will be serving water\, fruit\, and fruit snacks throughout the event so bagged lunches are encouraged if needed. \nWe sincerely hope that you can join us for this volunteering opportunity. If you would like to participate\, please fill out this form with your RSVP and the number of students who would like to attend. We would also be able to send you some materials to advertise this event and for volunteers to collect pledges from their peers and parents.

SUMMARY:Post Disaster Resilience and Recovery: Learning from disasters and creating safer cities
DESCRIPTION:Cities are facing more and more severe weather events in recent years\, having a catastrophic impact on communities and their ability to recover. There is an urgent need for cities to better prepare themselves to withstand the adverse impact of these disasters which can enable an effective recovery and minimize losses.  \nIn the Bordeaux region in France\, one-fourth of its habitable area is below the river’s high-water line\, exposing the Bordeaux Metropolitan Area to a dual risk of flooding from the sea and the river.  As in many cities worldwide\, in Bordeaux floods have been increasing in frequency and intensity since the 1980s. Meanwhile\, cities in the USA have vast experience addressing and recovering from large-scale disasters\, having faced and dealt with the consequences of extreme events like hurricanes and wildfires frequently.   \nPlanning for effective post-disaster recovery can help cities set the path for a safer\, resilient and sustainable future. It is crucial that we bring together cities to share their experience and lessons learned in their post disaster recovery efforts\, and how those can shape cities to plan and build back better. \nThe fifth session of the Cities on the Frontline Speaker Series 2023\, with the support of the Embassy of the United States of America\, France\, and in collaboration with partners France Ville Durable and the World Bank\, will focus on “Post Disaster Resilience and Recovery”. \nBy bringing together New Orleans and the Bordeaux Metropolitan Region\, we’re taking a deeper look at how cities can learn from each other and ensure that everyone\, especially vulnerable and marginalized groups\, have the ability to recover from severe disasters as well as how cities rebuild and strengthen their systems\, policies and infrastructure. \nAustin Feldbaum\, Hazard Mitigation Director from the City of New Orleans\, will join us to share their learnings on recovery and how they reconceived their city’s strategies after disasters. Valérie Sabéran\, Climate Risk and Resilience Director from the Bordeaux Metropolitan Area\, will share more about how the metropolis is committed more than ever to strengthening their flood management strategy as well as efforts to address climate change and learning from their past experiences with severe flooding.  \nREGISTER HERE

SUMMARY:ROADMAP 2035: Cars\, Carbon and Climate Change – How Do We Meet California’s Zero Emissions Goals?
DESCRIPTION:Join Capitol Weekly for a conference examining California’s climate goals – specifically the plan to move beyond gas-powered vehicles. ROADMAP 2035: Cars\, Carbon and Climate Change – How Do We Meet California’s Zero Emissions Goals? will be held on Thursday\, May 25\, 2023\, in Sacramento. A remote-viewing Zoom option is available HERE. \nSPACE IS LIMITED – CLICK HERE TO REGISTER FOR THE LIVE EVENT \nBy 2035 all new passenger cars\, trucks and SUVs sold in California must be zero emissions. California’s Advanced Clean Cars II regulations will rapidly scale down light-duty passenger car\, pickup truck and SUV emissions starting with the 2026 model year. \nAnd\, it’s not just happening in California. In March\, the European Union announced a law to end sales of new CO2-emitting cars in 2035. Multiple states\, including Oregon have similar mandates in place\, and the Environmental Protection Agency has proposed new rules that could require up to two-thirds of all new cars sold in the US by 2032 to be zero emission vehicles. \nDespite these ambitious goals\, major challenges remain. Public acceptance of EVs is growing\, but not at the rate needed to meet the mandate. And\, the state’s electrical grid is barely able to meet peak demand now; what happens when the average Californian is driving a plug-in? We’ll look at these questions and many more. \nClick here to view an event program\, with profiles of speakers and other details. \nThe Keynote Speaker is Alice Busching Reynolds\, President of the California Public Utilities Commission\, in conversation with Rich Ehisen\, Capitol Weekly. \n9:30 AM\, PANEL 1 – The Technology: How We Get There \nJacquelyn Birdsall\, Toyota; Steve Douglas\, Alliance for Automotive Innovation; Quentin Gee\, California Energy Commission;  Orville Thomas\, CALSTART \nModerated by Alejandro Lazo\, CalMatters \n10:45 AM\, PANEL 2 – What Now: Timelines and Implementation \nDr. Jen Gress\, California Air Resources Board; Kip Lipper\, Policy Advisor to the Sen. Pro Tem; Michael Pimentel\, California Transit Association; Scott Wetch\, Carter\, Wetch and Associates \nModerated by Ari Plachta\, Sacramento Bee \nNoon\, KEYNOTE – Alice Busching Reynolds\, President\, California Public Utilities Commission \nIn conversation with Rich Ehisen\, Capitol Weekly \n1:00 PM\, PANEL 3 – The Future vs. The Past: The Impact on California’s Legacy Industries \nChristopher Benjamin\, Pacific Gas & Electric; Jon Costantino\, Tradesman Advisors; Catherine Reheis-Boyd\, Western States Petroleum Association; Laura Renger\, California Electric Transportation Coalition \nModerated by Brian Joseph\, Capitol Weekly

SUMMARY:Art Reception - Nature Always Wins: A Photography Exhibit
DESCRIPTION:Nature is active in conquering us not only through the occasional earthquake or flood\, but in the subtleties of vegetation that turn every settlement into an ongoing archaeological site. What do we see when we look down? Grass growing in the cracks of freeway pavements\, and plants taking root in the little crevices of buildings and alleys. \nMonica L. Smith\, an archaeologist and member of the Institute of the Environment and Sustainability at UCLA\, takes us on a photographic journey to the world of vibrant and resilient vegetation underfoot. She shows us how an artist’s eye resides within all of us\, enabling us to see what we usually filter out of our perception as we traverse the streets of Los Angeles. \nThe exhibit coincides with the release of her edited volume\, The Power of Nature\, published by the University Press of Colorado and featuring a number of UCLA authors.
