SUMMARY:Cities and Global Climate Justice
DESCRIPTION:As climate change becomes increasingly urgent\, cities around the world are making ambitious plans to mitigate its causes and adapt to its impacts. Too often these plans are unjust. Plans meant to adapt to climate change impacts or protect the city might do so only in unequal ways\, or threaten to displace marginalized residents in vulnerable places. This online session led by author and professor Kian Goh of the UCLA Luskin Institute on Inequality and Democracy explores how grassroots climate justice activists in cities around the world fight back against unjust plans\, build power among their constituents\, and propose alternatives for a climate-just future. \nREGISTER HERE

SUMMARY:Adaptation and Community Resilience
DESCRIPTION:Hosted by the UCLA Ziman Center for Real Estate’s Housing as Health Care Initiative\, UCLA Center for Healthy Climate Solutions and the Center for Impact@Anderson. \nREGISTER HERE\nWith an increasingly urgent need to adapt to our changing climate\, the built environment offers unique opportunities for programs and new practices that can protect and improve human health. In order to effectively capitalize on these opportunities\, it is critical to engage stakeholders from real estate\, development\, public health\, public policy\, climate adaptation\, and other industries. The challenges – such as more frequent and severe heat waves\, wildfires\, hurricanes\, and floods — can be destructive to the built environment\, harm human health\, and displace communities. However\, the solutions offered by intersectoral work can be cost effective\, simple\, and innovative. Through discussion and collaboration\, implementing these types of solutions can add value to real communities\, increase resilience\, and improve quality of life. \nThe second installment in this series will highlight best practices\, programs and policies for climate adaptation and community resilience through the built environment\, and discuss the process for implementing them. Panelists will discuss not only their current projects and opportunities in response to the climate crisis\, but also provide an overview of building strategies that increase resilience. Each of these topics will be linked back to human health and social equity. \nSpeakers are: \n– Brian Cole\, DrPH\, Assistant Professor\, Environmental Health Sciences\, UCLA Fielding School of Public Health (Moderator)\n– Sara Neff\, Head of Sustainability\, Lendlease Americas\n– Jonathan Parfrey\, Executive Director\, Climate Resolve\n– Ben Stapleton\, Executive Director\, U.S. Green Building Council – Los Angeles

SUMMARY:Climate Lyricism with Min Hyoung Song
DESCRIPTION:In Climate Lyricism\, Min Hyoung Song articulates a climate change-centered reading practice that foregrounds how climate is present in most literature. Song shows how literature\, poetry\, and essays by Tommy Pico\, Solmaz Sharif\, Frank O’Hara\, Ilya Kaminsky\, Claudia Rankine\, Kazuo Ishiguro\, Teju Cole\, Richard Powers\, and others help us to better grapple with our everyday encounters with climate change and its disastrous effects\, which are inextricably linked to the legacies of racism\, colonialism\, and extraction. These works employ what Song calls climate lyricism—a mode of address in which a first-person “I” speaks to a “you” about how climate change thoroughly shapes daily life. The relationship between “I” and “you” in this lyricism\, Song contends\, affects the ways readers comprehend the world\, fostering a model of shared agency from which it can become possible to collectively and urgently respond to the catastrophe of our rapidly changing climate. In this way\, climate lyricism helps to ameliorate the sense of being overwhelmed and feeling unable to do anything to combat climate change. \nMin Hyoung Song is Professor of English and Director of the Asian American Studies Program at Boston College\, as well as a steering committee member of Environmental Studies and an affiliated faculty member of African and African Diaspora Studies. He is the author of three books: Climate Lyricism (Duke\, 2022)\, The Children of 1965: On Writing\, and Not Writing\, as an Asian American (Duke\, 2013) and Strange Future: Pessimism and the 1992 Los Angeles Riots (Duke\, 2005). \nREGISTER HERE\n

SUMMARY:Virtual Screening of "The Ants & the Grasshopper" + Discussion of Environmental Equity
DESCRIPTION:About The Film\nAnita Chitaya has a gift. She can help bring abundant food from dead soil\, she can make men fight for gender equality\, and she can end child hunger in her village. Now\, to save her home from extreme weather\, she faces her greatest challenge: Persuading Americans that climate change is real. \nTraveling from Malawi to California to the White House\, she meets climate sceptics and despairing farmers. Her journey takes her across all the divisions shaping the US\, from the rural-urban divide\, to schisms of race\, class and gender\, to the thinking that allows Americans to believe we live on a different planet from everyone else. It will take all her skill and experience to persuade us that we’re all in this together. \nThis documentary\, ten years in the making\, weaves together the most urgent themes of our times: climate change\, gender and racial inequality\, the gaps between the rich and the poor\, and the ideas that groups around the world have generated in order to save the planet. \nPanel\nA panel discussion with Zilanie NyaGondwe\, Director – Institute for the Conservation of Nature (Malawi) and Raj Patel\, Co-director of The Ants and the Grasshopper will follow the film. Delana Gbenekama\, the City of Santa Monica’s Equity and Communications Coordinator will moderate the panel. \nREGISTER HERE

SUMMARY:Restoring The Ancient Tongva Village Of Kuruvugna in West Los Angeles
DESCRIPTION:Welcome to the UCLA Mathias Botanical Garden’s 2021-2022 public lecture series\, Transplanted: Examining Contexts of Plants\, People\, & Place. \nIn modern day Los Angeles\, there are few remaining places where people can put their hands in the earth and connect with the land and plants that sustain us. The ancient Gabrielino/Tongva village site of Kuruvungna in West L.A. thrived alongside freshwater springs that emerge along the Santa Monica fault line. Today\, two acres of land there have been preserved and provide a unique space to honor the sanctity of the site and to share Gabrielino/Tongva culture in a dignified way. Younger generations are coming to learn about traditional practices\, gardening\, and community building. Bob Ramirez (Tongva)\, President of the Gabrielino/Tongva Springs Foundation\, will detail the ecological restoration to preserve and protect the Kuruvungna Village Springs site\, as well as share plans for the future. \nREGISTER HERE
