SUMMARY:Emmett Institute Lunch Talk on Climate Change Litigation
DESCRIPTION:Lunch talk with Vic Sher\, lead lawyer on several high-profile climate change lawsuits recently filed by California local governments to seek damages from large fossil fuel companies for the impacts of sea level rise.\nRSVP by October 6th\, space is limited: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdTU2e5T12N_JPCogHOY6vBEdZHnsds2hlDZ06eTzXzbmYW5Q/viewform \nPlease join us to hear from Vic Sher\, lead lawyer on several high-profile climate change lawsuits recently filed by California local governments to seek damages from large fossil fuel companies for the impacts of sea level rise. \nVic Sher has spent his career developing and prosecuting unparalleled legal strategies to protect people and the planet. Over the past 30 years\, he has achieved exceptional success-as a litigator\, a consultant and as the leader of the world’s largest public interest environmental law firm-on behalf of communities and non-governmental organizations against the world’s most powerful polluters and largest law firms. Beyond representing public agencies and organizations in active lawsuits\, Vic consults on effective litigation strategies with government agencies\, national and local non-profit organizations\, and attorneys around the country. \nFrom 1998 through 2011\, Vic’s practice focused solely on representing public water suppliers and other public agencies in lawsuits against the manufacturers of toxic chemicals polluting drinking water sources. He was a partner with Miller & Sher in Sacramento from 1998 through 2002\, then founder and principal litigator with Sher Leff LLP in San Francisco from 2003 through 2011. In 2009\, Vic served as New York City’s lead trial counsel in City of New York v. ExxonMobil\, a federal jury trial over MTBE contamination in Queens that resulted in a verdict for the City of $104.7 million. His team was recognized as a Public Justice Trial Lawyer of the Year finalist. \nVic practiced with the public interest law firm Earthjustice (then known as the Sierra Club Legal Defense Fund) from October 1986 until June 1997\, including as its President from 1994 to 1997. As President\, he acted as the CEO for the world’s largest public interest environmental law firm\, with 50 lawyers in ten offices. The American Lawyer called some of his work during this period among the “most important public lands management litigation in this country’s history.” The ABA Journal noted that Vic’s lawsuits caused a “dramatic new direction in forest policy” for tens of millions of acres of federal forests\, “forcing an end to business as usual”. He also litigated many cases to protect communities from toxic chemicals\, preserve endangered ecosystems and species\, conserve public lands\, and improve air and water quality.

SUMMARY:Free Speech 101: UCLA’s Week on Freedom of Speech
DESCRIPTION:As a renowned public university in one of the world’s most diverse cities\, UCLA prides itself on vigorously protecting and celebrating free speech.  Freedom of speech is a fundamental feature of our democracy and a crucial dimension of UCLA’s institutional and academic culture. \nYet there remain competing conceptions of free speech\, how it should function in a liberal democracy\, and its parameters across multiple dimensions of campus life—from the production of scholarship and course content\, to the selection of campus speakers\, to student protest and organizing.  These important issues warrant\, and in many ways require\, campus-wide engagement and discussion. \nTo that end\, the Office of Equity\, Diversity and Inclusion and the Office of Student Affairs are hosting signature events during Free Speech 101: UCLA’s Week on Freedom of Speech.  These events and others during the week of October 16 will enable UCLA students\, staff\, faculty\, alumni\, community members\, and friends of the University to listen to\, reflect on\, and express diverse perspectives and opinions about free speech and its role in the life of our democracy—and the life of UCLA.  The week’s events are listed below.  We look forward to and welcome your presence and participation. \nFEATURED EVENTS\n\n\nFrom Student Affairs: \nWhat Is Civil Discourse?

SUMMARY:Dig Where You Are: Luskin Innovators Speaker Series Featuring Nan Alexander Doyal
DESCRIPTION:What if you discovered you have the power to change the world?\nReception\, Presentation\, Panel Discussion\, Author Q&A\, and Book Signing. Panelists to be announced. \nRSVP HERE\nAbout the Book\nDig Where You Are is about the potential in each of us to make a difference in the world by simply taking what we already know how to do and using it to make a meaningful change for the good.  It is about seeing the opportunity in front of you to make something better and then doing something about it.  It is not about wishing you were someone you’re not\, but about recognizing and using the talents you have and including those around you in an effort to bring about change. This book is a collection of stories of people who have done exactly this.  They started small and through persistence and grit they ended up creating something that had a big impact on the world.  Even so\, what we realize in reading these accounts is that it’s not about the size of the initial effort that matters; it’s that we are engaged and looking out for one another on an ongoing basis – this is what really creates scale in the long term.  Furthermore\, as we learn from these stories\, there is no right way to start digging where you are and that is why it holds such promise. \nAbout the Author\nNan Alexander Doyal has lived and worked in North America\, Europe and Asia for more than three decades; most recently as President of The International Forum – an organization that designs active learning experiences for the leaders of global corporations. For more than ten years she led and managed this organization and its network worldwide; assessed the challenges facing global corporations and created programs to address these. Working with multi-disciplinary and multi-culture teams on the ground\, she helped to design and run hands-on leadership and active learning programs in Japan\, China\, India\, Thailand\, Poland\, Czech Republic\, Sweden\, Belgium and the United States. Prior to joining The International Forum she was a vice president with Ameritech Corporation in Chicago\, Illinois\, ran her own direct marketing firm\, held several positions at American Express Travel Related Services Co. Inc. in New York\, worked for Shiseido Co. Ltd. in Tokyo\, Japan and for RBC Dominion Securities\, in Toronto\, Canada.  She is a graduate of Smith College and The Wharton School\, University of Pennsylvania. \nIn 2008 she began a journey to re-connect with people she had met in the world who were solving problems in creative and sustainable ways. She recounts their stories and what she learned in Dig Where You Are: How One Person’s Effort Can Save a Life\, Empower a Community and Create Meaningful Change in the World. This is her first book.

SUMMARY:Conservation for Cities: Luskin Innovators Speaker Series Featuring Robert McDonald
DESCRIPTION:Luskin Innovators Speaker Series Featuring Robert McDonald\nReception\, Presentation\, Panel Discussion\, Author Q&A\, and Book Signing. Panelists to be announced. \nRSVP HERE\nAbout the Book\nIt’s time to think differently about cities and nature. Understanding how to better connect our cities with the benefits nature provides will be increasingly important as people migrate to cities and flourish in them. All this urban growth\, along with challenges of adapting to climate change\, will require a new approach to infrastructure if we’re going to be successful. Yet guidance on how to plan and implement projects to protect or restore natural infrastructure is often hard to come by. \nWith Conservation for Cities\, Robert McDonald offers a comprehensive framework for maintaining and strengthening the supporting bonds between cities and nature through innovative infrastructure projects. After presenting a broad approach to incorporating natural infrastructure priorities into urban planning\, he focuses each following chapter on a specific ecosystem service. He describes a wide variety of benefits\, and helps practitioners answer fundamental questions: What are the best ecosystem services to enhance in a particular city or neighborhood? How might planners best combine green and grey infrastructure to solve problems facing a city? What are the regulatory and policy tools that can help fund and implement projects? Finally\, McDonald explains how to develop a cost-effective mix of grey and green infrastructure and offers targeted advice on quantifying the benefits. \nWritten by one of The Nature Conservancy’s lead scientists on cities and natural infrastructure\, Conservation for Cities is a book that ecologists\, planners\, and landscape architects will turn to again and again as they plan and implement a wide variety of projects. \nAbout the Author\nDr. Robert McDonald is Senior Scientist for Sustainable Land Use at The Nature Conservancy\, where he is lead scientist for the organization’s efforts to figure out how to make cities more sustainable. He holds a Ph.D. in Ecology from Duke University\, and has published more than 30 peer-reviewed publications\, many of them on the science of how cities impact and depend on the environment. He blogs for The Nature Conservancy’s Cool Green Science blog and has published two recent essays on urban/environment interactions in a collection called Taking Sides: Clashing Views in Global Issues (McGraw-Hill) and in The Chronicle of Higher Education.

SUMMARY:IOES Climate Series: A Tale of Two Cities: Los Angeles and Beijing
DESCRIPTION:Climate change is the existential crisis of the 21st century. How it plays out\, how we can curb it\, and how we adjust to the changes already underway will define our generation. \n\nThis fall\, the La Brea Tar Pits and Museum\, in collaboration with UCLA Institute of the Environment and Sustainability\, has designed a new kind of climate series: a four-night conversation between the L.A. community and some of the world’s experts on all things climate. \nDATES:\nOctober 5 – Climate Change Cliff Notes\nOctober 19 – Earth and Human Climate\nNovember 2 – A Tale of Two Cities in a Hotter World: Los Angeles and Beijing\nNovember 16 – Imagined Futures for a Hotter Planet \n\nThursday\, November 2 A Tale of Two Cities: Los Angeles & Beijing\nIt is tough to feel urgency when climate change seems like something happening to future generations\, in faraway lands. The reality is\, it is and will affect all of us\, in every city on the planet. And it’s not all bad\, by the way—some cities and people could benefit from global warming. To make climate change personal\, local\, and real\, let’s talk about how it will affect two of the greatest cities in the world\, Los Angeles and Beijing. We’ll compare notes on each city’s infrastructure and governance\, actual on-the-ground impacts\, and how residents might react. \nConversation with \nAlex Hall\, UCLA Professor of Atmospheric & Ocean Sciences and Director\, IoES Center for Climate Science \nBrad Shaffer\, UCLA Evolutionary Biologist and Director\, UCLA La Kretz Center for California Conservation Science \nAlex Wang\, professor at UCLA School of Law \nModerated by \nStephanie Wear\, Senior Scientist and Strategy Advisor at The Nature Conservancy
