Climate LIVE K12: Harnessing the Power of Communities to Fight Flooding and Protect Our Waterways

Climate LIVE K12 (formerly EI LIVE K12) is dedicated to bringing the science of sustainability to K12 students, educators, and parents.

About this Event

Presenter: Paul Gallay, Senior Staff Associate and Resilient Coastal Communities Project Leader, Center for Sustainable Urban Development

Target Audience: Grades 9-12, Undergraduate, Educators, and the Public

Climate-driven flooding is worsening due to sea level rise and rapidly intensifying storms, with many of the most serious impacts being felt in disadvantaged communities already reeling from decades of underinvestment in water quality and ecosystem health. To protect our most vulnerable communities, government planners must find new ways to respect and center the wisdom that only those communities possess. Can we build the just and equitable partnerships we'll need to survive climate change?

A link to join the session will be provided to all registered participants 24 hours in advance.

If you would like to submit any questions before the event, please send them to Laurel Zaima-Sheehy ([email protected])

The Consortium of University Alumni for a Sustainable Planet (CUSP) presents its first webinar. The event will be moderated by Rajesh Rasturirangan, PhD '04. and the panel will include Quinton Zondervan, SM '95. The MIT Alumni for Climate Action group is a founding partner.
New, lower cost, air quality monitors are springing up ?in communities around the world and inside buildings. Learn from MIT alumna Karen Donoghue and other panelists how innovative technology is producing more information for understanding health impacts and the effects of the ongoing energy transition.
Join fellow fellow MIT alumni and guests for a virtual discussion of the book American Prometheus by Kai Bird and Martin J. Sherwin. This Pulitzer Prize winning book is the definitive biography of J. Robert Oppenheimer, one of the iconic figures of the twentieth century, a brilliant physicist who led the effort to build the atomic bomb for his country in a time of war, and who later found himself confronting the moral consequences of scientific progress. The authors capture Oppenheimer's life and times, from his early career to his central role in the Cold War.

Brazil’s energy sector offers a valuable perspective, where the growth of the oil and gas sector is coming alongside the deployment of clean energy technologies in a country that displays one of the largest shares in the world of renewables in its electricity generation mix.

The Center on Global Energy Policy, in partnership with Women in Energy Brasil and Columbia Global Centers | Rio de Janeiro, will host a discussion to provide insights into Brazil’s pragmatic pathway to a clean energy transition from the perspective of an oil and gas producing country. A stellar panel of women leaders in the energy sector will discuss the future of the country’s energy system in the context of global high energy prices, the country's policy approach towards low carbon fuels, the lessons learned from the deployment of clean technologies, and integration of renewables in the power grid, all while at the same time working towards lowering the carbon footprint of its oil and gas production.

Moderator:

Dr. Luisa Palacios, Senior Research Scholar, Center on Global Energy Policy at Columbia University SIPA; and former Chairwoman, Citgo Petroleum Corporation

The UN Secretary General’s High-Level Expert Group on the Net-Zero Emissions Commitments of non-State Entities (HLEG) welcomes you to join the live launch event of the portal for written submissions from the public.

Building on the Terms of Reference and the Workplan of the group, this global public session, hosted by the United Nations Foundation, will present the portal for written inputs and address questions from interested stakeholders about the HLEG’s work and the timeline for it to develop recommendations for the UN Secretary-General.

The HLEG wants to hear from a broad audience as they prepare recommendations on stronger and clearer standards for net-zero emissions pledges by non-State entities – including businesses, investors, cities and regions.

Please Register Here to join the session on Wednesday 29 June at 10 am EDT.

We look forward to your engagement!

The Iraq Kurdistan Region (IKR) is one of the few potential pipeline exporters to Europe that could increase natural gas supplies substantially in the next 2-3 years. In the wake of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, and continuing sanctions on Iran, the IKR could potentially boost supply quantity and diversity.

The IKR holds most of Iraq’s discovered non-associated gas reserves. Production has advanced recently but there is further scope for major gains in output, technically up to 40 billion cubic meters (BCM) per year by the mid-2030s, as well as from capturing currently flared gas associated with oil production. This potential additional gas could be used to support more reliable power and industrial energy to the people of the IKR. It could also be used to replace polluting oil-based fuels, save more than 10 million tons per year of CO2 emissions, and potentially allow supplies to non-IKR Iraq, Turkey and Europe. Development of these resources could also support economic and social development.

The Center on Global Energy Policy will host a webinar to present the results of a recent U.S. Department of Energy-supported study which aims to assist the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) in developing a commercially-robust and environmentally-sound gas market. The panel will discuss the commercial and political attractions and challenges to realizing these aims.

The Columbia Climate School presents an online information session on the MA in Climate and Society.

The MA in Climate and Society is a 12-month interdisciplinary graduate program that trains professionals and academics to understand and address the impacts of climate variability and climate change on society and the environment. Through classes and research, students gain knowledge in both climate and social sciences as they relate to climate. During the online information session, prospective students will have the opportunity to learn about the program and ask questions.

Sustain What? Orion Magazine at 40 – Writers on Environments, Past and Ahead

Join this special Sustain What conversation exploring the 40th-anniversary issue of Orion Magazine, for which 40 writers were asked to convey in prose, poetry and other forms what it means to have our species usher in a new geological epoch – by one name the Anthropocene.

The summer of 2022 will see the first public data from the Anthropocene Working Group - the team of geologists searching for the location on Earth that demonstrates the irreversible impact of modern humanity. After two decades of research, that location, and the story told by its sediment core, will be cited as the origin of the Anthropocene, the epoch that severs our connection to our ancestors.

The issue features work by Maira Kalman, Barbara Kingsolver, Elizabeth Kolbert, Ken Liu, Barry Lopez, Meehan Crist, NRDC president Manish Bapna and Maria Popova. It is a chorus of origin stories and a compass that may help all of us navigate the next 40 years and beyond.

Your host is Andy Revkin of the Columbia Climate School (also an essay contributor). He will be joined by Manish Bapna of NRDC, Meehan Crist, who is writer-in-residence in biology at Columbia, and Orion’s editor-in-chief, Sumanth Prabhaker.
