Rethinking how we build for climate success and equity DESCRIPTION:The climate crisis requires a monumental effort to build green infrastructure\, high-density housing\, and transit. But America is not moving fast enough. That much\, the environmental movement can agree on. But the debate over what exactly is standing in our way and how to clear the path to a healthier future remains a subject of debate so fierce that the Atlantic recently called this a “culture war tearing American environmentalism apart.” \nDisagreement over so-called “permitting reform” is often about how much community engagement we want to require of projects. Prof. James Salzman and his co-author first coined the phrase the Greens’ Dilemma to explain the tension between old environmental laws and new environmental priorities. Prof. David Adelman studied a decade-worth of federal permits and environmental reviews for energy infrastructure to find that most projects enjoyed streamlined administrative procedures. Jen Ganata works to defend frontline communities from economic and environmental harms. Together\, these panelists will help us define the problem and discuss some solutions. So\, what do we want? When do we want it? And who gets to decide? \nDavid Adelman\, Harry Reasoner Regents Chair in Law at the University of Texas School of Law \nJen Ganata\, Senior staff attorney\, Communities for a Better Environment \nJames Salzman\, Donald Bren Distinguished Professor of Environmental Law at the UCLA School of Law and UC Santa Barbara. \nLunch will be provided to those who RSVP by 02/29. Please note that lunch is not guaranteed for any RSVPs received after Thursday\, Feb 29 at noon. \nREGISTER HERE \nPlease contact Heather Morphew\, morphew@law.ucla.edu\, with any questions.

Free but RSVP required. \nMining is mission-critical to addressing the climate crisis. And so is confronting the legal and environmental issues surrounding mineral extraction. \nJurisdictions across the globe are racing to transform their energy sources to meet decarbonization goals and transition away from fossil fuels. This energy transition depends on a robust and reliable supply of critical minerals\, which must be mined\, processed\, and distributed in ways that often create environmental and health risks\, and in the process can reshape global political dynamics. \nThe Emmett Institute’s 2024 symposium will explore the wide range of pressing issues raised by this ever-expanding need for critical minerals. Our moderators and panelists from around the world will confront the policy drivers of this energy transition; governance questions related to supply chains; the rise of resource nationalism with its implications for the U.S. and the global order; and the risks to communities created by critical minerals mining and ways to reduce those risks. \nREGISTER HERE URL:https://sustain.ucla.edu/event/emmett-institute-2024-symposium-powering-the-future/ LOCATION:UCLA School of Law\, 385 Charles E.

The United States has set bold decarbonization targets\, necessitating a sixfold growth in connected renewables annually and triple the current transmission capacity by 2035. This pace of change requires better information about our grid to enable decarbonization while ensuring resilience and affordability. This panel will discuss how a data-enabled and transparent grid facilitates the implementation of distributed energy resources (including virtual power plants) and how it empowers us to make optimal decisions about how we build and coordinate the grid of the future. \nREGISTER HERE \nImmediately following the webinar\, you are invited to an optional informal networking session with the panelists\, providing a chance for more Q&A\, interaction\, and career path-based questions and advice. When registering for the webinar\, please indicate if you are interested in the networking session to receive the separate networking session Zoom link. \nThe C3E webinar series provides a forum to hear the latest on clean energy topics from women who are making a difference. The goal of the quarterly webinars is to highlight the outstanding work of clean energy professionals in various fields and to foster discussion around clean energy opportunities and solutions.

Coastal areas\, including the island of Cyprus and Greece\, like other regions in the Mediterranean are witnessing the relentless advance of the sea due to climate change. Rising sea levels\, heightened temperatures\, extreme weather events\, and marine erosion are endangering archaeological sites\, Byzantine relics\, and other critical historic landmarks. With climate data projecting a rise of 90cm in sea level by 2100 in the Mediterranean\, the risk to our global heritage is immediate and undeniable. \nREGISTER HERE URL:https://sustain.ucla.edu/event/heritage-at-high-tide-archaeology-and-climate-crisis-in-the-eastern-mediterranean-a-deep-dive-into-cyprus-and-greeces-imperiled-treasures/ LOCATION:Online ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://sustain.ucla.edu/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Heritage-at-High-Tide-Flyer-Low-Res.jpg END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
