SUMMARY:Ensuring Urban Resilience\, Come Hell Or High Water
DESCRIPTION:New York City must become a climate-resilient city\, whether or not nations meet the Paris COP 21 goal of keeping global temperature increases well below 2 degrees C.\, and now there is rising scientific sentiment for a 1.5 degree cap if the world is to avoid irreversible and destabilizing damage. The capacity of cities to deal with uncertainty is paramount and demands high-performing urban resilience measures. As such\, creating an enduringly resilient city means innovations etched in steel\, bricks and mortar as well as through ‘softscape’ innovations now emerging. \nUrban resilience also means changes in land use along with better and more equitable ways to protect a city’s people. Realizing these innovations requires that New York and other great cities must give high priority to advancing the emerging capacities to foster and make the most of new approaches to climate risk management. \nWelcome\nNancy Anderson\, The Sallan Foundation \nKeynote Speakers\nHon. Dawn Zimmer\, Mayor\, Hoboken New Jersey \nChris Ward\, AECOM; former Executive Director\, Port Authority of NY and NJ; former Commissioner\, NYC Department of Environmental Protection \nModerator\nMichael Gerrard\, Professor and Director\, Sabin Center for Climate Change Law\, Columbia Law School \nPanelists \nJoyce Rosenthal\, The Earth Institute\, Columbia University\nKate Orff\, Columbia Graduate School of Architecture\, Planning & Preservation\nNico Kienzl\, Atelier Ten\nJuan Camilo Osorio\, NY Environmental Justice Alliance\nMegan Linkin\, SwissRe

SUMMARY:Bronx River Bike Tour
DESCRIPTION:Did you know that the Bronx River is NYC’s only true fresh water river?  It was considered as a source for NYC’s drinking water in the 1830’s but was labelled “an open sewer” by the end of that century.  The river has made a comeback since the days of reckless dumping and now supports many forms of aquatic life like Alewife Herring and even a beaver named “Jose.” \nThe ride is 17 miles long and will take 3 hours. 7 miles of the tour will be on the Bronx River Parkway which is open to bikes for Bicycle Sundays. \nThe tour starts at the Williamsbridge Oval and finishes at the Kensico Dam in Valhalla.  The ride is 17 miles long and will take 3 hours (12 mph pace). 7 miles of the ride will be on the Bronx River Parkway as it is opened to bikes for Bicycle Sundays. \nMetro North train service is available from Valhalla for the return trip. \nRain date: None\, Sunday Sept 25 \nPlease RSVP here.

SUMMARY:Our Capitalogenic World: Humanity\, Nature\, and the Making of a Planetary Crisis
DESCRIPTION:On the occasion of Less Light Warm Words\, please join us as Jason W. Moore talks about the making of planetary crisis. While the language of “anthropogenic” change is now common in discussions of global warming\, mass extinction\, and other biospheric shifts\, it may be more plausible to speak of “capitalogenic” change — made not by all humans\, but by capitalism. Charting the development of capitalism as a “world-ecology\,”  understood as a system of power\, capital\, and nature\,  Moore shows how the planetary crisis today cannot be adequately understood as a conflict of “humans” and “nature.” Rather\, the making of planetary crisis is rooted in capitalism’s peculiar way of organizing nature\, one committed to “putting nature to work” for free or low cost. The long era of Cheap Nature\, inaugurated in 1492\, is now coming to an end. Thinking and acting in radically emancipatory ways in the decades ahead will require new ways of thinking life\, power\, and justice. \nPlease RSVP to rsvp@swissinstitute.net \nJason W. Moore is a historical geographer and world historian at Binghamton University\, where he is Associate Professor of Sociology and Research Fellow at the Fernand Braudel Center. He is author of Capitalism in the Web of Life (Verso\, 2015)\, Transformations of the Earth: Nature in the Making and Unmaking of the Modern World (in Chinese\, Commercial\, 2015); Ecologia-mondo e crisi del capitalismo: La fine della natura a buon mercato (Ombre Corte\, 2015); and editor of Anthropocene or Capitalocene? Nature\, History\, and the Crisis of Capitalism (PM Press\, 2016). He writes frequently on the history of capitalism\, environmental history\, and social theory. Moore is presently completing Ecology and the Rise of Capitalism\, an environmental history of the rise of capitalism\, and with Raj Patel\, Seven Cheap Things: A World-Ecological Manifesto – both with the University of California Press. He is coordinator of the World-Ecology Research Network.

SUMMARY:Zoning New York Scavenger Hunt
DESCRIPTION:In July 1916\, New York became the first American city to adopt a radical zoning resolution to control the height\, bulk\, and use of its buildings\, an act so unprecedented that its authors were not even sure it was legal. In the century since\, zoning has become the city’s most potent instrument for shaping its future. Open House New York and the Museum of the City of New York invite you to celebrate the centennial anniversary of New York City’s zoning resolution with a citywide scavenger hunt to uncover how the invisible forces of zoning have shaped the city around us\, from the dramatic setbacks of Jazz Age skyscrapers to the vast open plazas of mid-century Modernism. \nHow it Works: \nPlayers must register in advance\, as space is limited\, and may play solo or in teams of up to 6 people. One person will register for your team and will be asked to submit a team name and the names of team members. \nEach team will also be required to designate one Instagram account from which they will submit photos during the course of the scavenger hunt. Only photos submitted via this account will be counted toward your team’s total. \nThe person who registers your team will receive a follow-up email prompting them to send in any key info not provided on the registration form. If you don’t know your team name\, all of the team members\, or your preferred Instagram account when completing your registration\, that info can be sent later\, but must be confirmed prior to the event. \nOn July 9\, check in at Open House New York (1133 Broadway\, Suite 802) between 10 AM and 12 PM to receive clue pamphlets and Zoning New York Scavenger Hunt t-shirts\, which will need to worn in each photo submitted in order to earn points. \nFrom 10 AM – 5 PM\, decipher clues and race across the city posting photos of you and your team in front of the key zoning sites hinted at in more than sixty clues. \nAt the end of the day\, join us for a closing reception from 5:30-7:30 PM at the Museum of the City of New York (1220 Fifth Avenue between 104th and 103rd Street) where drinks and snacks will be served\, winners announced\, and prizes awarded! \nThe Zoning New York Scavenger hunt is co-presented with Open House New York and the Museum of the City of New York in anticipation of a major exhibition celebrating the centennial of New York City’s zoning resolution\, Mastering the Metropolis: New York and Zoning\, 1916-2016\, opening at the Museum of the City of New York on November 9\, 2016. \nTickets to this event are non-refundable. Should you or any of the members of your team be unable to attend\, the full price of unused tickets may be treated as a fully tax-deductible contribution to Open House New York and the Museum of the City of New York.

SUMMARY:Shell-ebrate Oysters!
DESCRIPTION:Learn about oysters and help restore them back into the Hudson River. Oysters have a long history in NYC’s waters. In fact\, oyster reefs once covered more than 220\,000 acres of the Hudson River estuary and NYC was the oyster trading capital of the world. Oysters are keystone species providing habitat for many other marine species and play an important role in filtering the Hudson River. Unfortunately\, for many years\, oysters have been in decline due to overharvesting\, industrial pollutants\, sewage and sedimentation. Today\, it is rare to find a wild oyster in the River. \nThis program will teach participants about the history\, life cycle\, and ecological benefits of the oyster through educational activities and hands-on restoration. Help build oyster habitat that will wrap Hudson River Park piles and contribute to building a more resilient future for the estuary. \nFAQs \nWhat are my transport/parking options getting to the event? \n1 Train to Franklin Street \nA C E Trains to Canal Street \nWhere can I contact the organizer with any questions? \nPlease contact Hudson River Park’s Environment & Education Department at 212-627-2020 or education@hrpt.ny.gov

SUMMARY:Queens/Brooklyn: Newtown Creek Photography & Nature Walk
DESCRIPTION:In the words of Newtown Creek historian Mitch Waxman\, “You don’t get Manhattan without a place like Newtown Creek.” Curious—a nature walk around this notorious super-fund site—one of the most polluted waterways in the country? Curiouser and curiouser\, flora and fauna have found a way to survive here. Be prepared for a shock to your perception. If industrial backyards and vistas of the New York City skyline from skewed perspectives are your idea of a good time—this walk’s for you. The history of American industry\, landmark bridges\, pristine reflections in stagnant neon-green water\, sun glinting off of orderly rows of cement trucks\, and the confounding intricacies of oil refineries. But herons\, waterfowl and gulls are regulars\, weed trees shelter resident songsters\, and wildflowers crack the pavement. This is one mind-altering itinerary. Wear sturdy hiking shoes. This is a very exposed walk\, so wear a hat. Bring your CAMERA. Bring your lunch. We will picnic at the Newtown Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant Nature Walk promenade (no that is NOT an oxymoron). \nFor detailed information and to make sure to reserve your spot\, click here ! \nNOTE: This is NOT a “how to use your camera” walk—this is a walk through an urban industrial environment ripe for letting your creativity enthrall you! \n Meet at the FRONT of the Flushing-bound 7 Train platform at Times Square. Board the FIRST car of the 7 Train to 45th Road/Court House Square (Queens). Approximately 3 mile EXTREMELY urban walk! Return on the 7 Train from Vernon Boulevard/Jackson Avenue to Times Square.

SUMMARY:Deciphering Manhattan
DESCRIPTION:New York does make sense! Well\, sometimes. Any town\, village or city offers clues that enable us to make sense of that place. The bend in a road\, shape of a building or site of a church can say something of what we once were\, and have become. \nWhy are the luxury apartment houses and fancy department stores along the middle of the island\, while buildings generally get older as you head south? What makes some districts (Chelsea is a good example) so relaxed and quiet when others are chaotic and vital? And if land in New York is so valuable (witness the skyscrapers jammed in all over)\, then what explains the presence of that big park above 59th Street? \nNote: Make sure to arrive at the event 10 minutes early. \n

SUMMARY:Sunset Park Walking Tour: Diverse\, Complex\, Contested
DESCRIPTION:Join veteran Brooklyn tour guide (and City Limits contributor) Norman Oder\, along with neighborhood activist Maria Roca\, on a wide-ranging tour of the Sunset Park neighborhood in Brooklyn. Once part of Bay Ridge and a Scandinavian stronghold\, Sunset Park is now home to a diverse Latino population and the anchor of New York City’s largest Chinese community\, as well as a perpetual “next” neighborhood in real estate lore.

Its progress and challenges will emerge as we walk on residential and commercial streets\, past churches\, civic buildings\, and notable murals\, and into the busy namesake park\, with its great views and WPA-era pool. The tour will last 2-2.5 hours. Please be prepared for some brisk walking. \nSUGGESTED DONATION $20. \nFREE TO CITY LIMITS MEMBERS. \nPhoto credit: MusikAnimal

SUMMARY:The Irresistible Resistance: Earth Week 2016
DESCRIPTION:  \nIn celebration of Earth Week at The New School\, the Tishman Environment and Design Center is drawing inspiration from the growing unification of movements for climate justice\, the deepening of transnational solidarity movements across the globe and the creative expressions of people and communities determined to achieve solutions to the climate crisis on their own terms. We are celebrating the idea that artists and young people are the very heart of the struggle for resistance and resilience and that “artists make resistance irresistible.” \nWhat does the resistance look like? \n\nThe People’s Climate March in September 2014 was the largest action on climate in history\, successfully changing the notion that climate change was just an environmental issue. The march made it clear that this is also a social and economic justice struggle.\nFracking was banned in New York State on December 17\, 2014 after six years of tireless grassroots organizing. Communities across the country continue to fight to defend themselves from the risks of unconventional oil and gas development.\nPresident Obama’s rejection of the Keystone XL pipeline on November 6\, 2015 marked a victory for indigenous people\, environmental activists\, farmers\, and others after years of protests and demonstrations.\nBlack Lives Matter activists and allies have taken to the streets in cities across the United States to affirm the humanity\, contributions\, and resiliency of people of color\, embracing environmental justice as a component of the movement.\nIn the wake of the COP 21 agreement in Paris\, frontline communities vow to “continue to fight at every level to defend our communities\, the earth\, and future generations.” The real success coming out of COP21 can be found in the renewed sense of commitment among many communities\, cities\, and people around the world that are now more than ever vigilant and invested in collective action for climate justice.\n\nOn April 20\, 2016\, help us answer: \n\nCan the resistance be irresistible?\nCan art be an answer to climate change?\nCan local justice movements stand in global solidarity?\nCan we resist the status quo and change the direction of our future?\n\nFree admission\, please register here.\nPhoto credit: Bumbles and Light

SUMMARY:The Invasive Other
DESCRIPTION:This conference is grounded on the premise that while seemingly of different orders\, invasive others – whether people\, plants\, ideas or pathogens – are described in similar ways\, and patrolled and controlled through similar technologies\, logics and policies. Indeed\, we expect the conference to reveal how the language and technologies intersect and play on one another. By placing these different “invasives” alongside one another\, we will learn more about the nature of Otherness in our world\, and how it is managed\, governed or exterminated.  If we are to protect the rights of others\, this knowledge is invaluable. \nDay 1: \nSession 1: PEOPLE\n12:00 – 2:30 PM \n  \nSession 2: PATHOGENS\n3:00 – 5:30 PM \nDay 2 \nSession 3: IDEAS\n12:00 – 2:30 PM\n \n  \nSession 4: ECOLOGIES\n3:00 – 5:30 PM \nSession 5: KEYNOTE\n6:00-7:30 PM \nFree admission; for detailed schedule and registration\, click here. \nPhoto credit: Alexandra Bellissimo

SUMMARY:Screening and Discussion “Merchants of Doubt” and the Exxon connection
DESCRIPTION:“Merchants of Doubt” takes audiences on a satirically comedic\, yet illuminating ride into the heart of conjuring American spin. The movie lifts the curtain on a secretive group of highly charismatic\, silver-tongued pundits-for-hire who present themselves in the media as scientific authorities – yet have the contrary aim of spreading maximum confusion about well-studied public threats ranging from toxic chemicals to pharmaceuticals to climate change.”\n(Inspired by the acclaimed book by Naomi Oreskes and Erik Conway. Filmmaker Robert Kenner). \nAfter the screening\, we will examine how these corporate tactics have played out in the case of Exxon Mobil and discuss actions we can take in NYC to challenge Exxon and “Big Oil” climate deniers. #ExxonKnew \nThere will be two screenings: \nManhattan  –  Sat. 2/20/2016 @ 1:30-3:30PM\nPatagonia\, 72 Greene St (@ Spring) Soho\,\nSponsored by 350NYC\, climate education group \n\nBROOKLYN  – Thur. 2/26/2016  @  7-9PM\n68 Jay Street #405\, Brooklyn\, 11201\nSponsored by 350Brooklyn and N+1 \n\nAdmission is free\, donations welcomed.

SUMMARY:Life Along the Curb: Inside the Department of Sanitation of New York
DESCRIPTION:Keeping New York clean has always been a daunting challenge. The city generates close to 40\,000 tons of garbage every day – and yet New Yorkers are not buried by their waste. Who picks up all that trash? Who sweeps the streets? How is the work organized? And where do all those discards all go? Drawing on several years of ethnographic and archival research as well as her own experiences as a municipal sanitation worker\, anthropologist Robin Nagle explores some of the political\, infrastructural\, economic\, and cultural complexities that shape the dynamics of solid waste management in North America’s largest city. \nRobin Nagle is the author of Picking Up: On the Streets and Behind the Trucks with the Sanitation Workers of New York City (2013). She is the anthropologist-in-residence with New York’s Department of Sanitation. She also serves as a clinical associate professor of anthropology and environmental studies at NYU\, where she runs the Draper Interdisciplinary Master’s Program in the Graduate School of Arts and Science. \nAt 8:00 pm\, we will screen the 2015 short documentary film\, “One Man’s Trash” (17 mins) by Kelly Adams.  Synopsis: For 34 years\, Nelson Molina has worked for the NYC Department of Sanitation\, developing a unique relationship to the objects that fill the garbage bags lining the streets. With a keen curatorial eye for finding treasure in household trash\, Nelson has created a collection of found objects in a sanitation garage in East Harlem\, which he refers to as a museum of “Treasures in the Trash.” As the film follows Nelson on his route and through his collection\, he encourages us to see the things that we encounter in daily life anew. \nThis is the third and final event in “Garbage and the City: Two Centuries of Dirt\, Debris\, and Disposal\,“ a program series presented in collaboration with The New York Academy of Medicine\,“ and ARCHIVE Global\,“ and supported by a grant from the New York Council for the Humanities. \n\nTickets\nFree event\, but pre-registration is required. \nPhoto Credit: Museum of the City of New York

SUMMARY:The Brooklyn Music Festival
DESCRIPTION:The Brooklyn Music Festival is designed to celebrate the accomplishments and achievements of New York City’s largest borough. In the seventeenth century when Dutch colonist first settled in New York no one could have imagined or conceptualized the multi cultural metropolis we’ve come to know and love as Brooklyn. \nThe twentieth century introduced the Dodgers to Brooklyn and now Brooklynites are ecstatic over the newly acquired Brooklyn Nets. The Brooklyn Music Festival at Colonels Row in Governors Island is yet another opportunity for this beloved borough to shine and also to ignite excitement and enthusiasm in a safe and positive atmosphere. \nNovas Entertainment Group NYC (NEGNYC) credo is quality\, affordable entertainment delivered with a high level of integrity and professionalism.  Summer 2015 will be a fun day for patrons. It will also be a productive day for  various event sponsors\, vendors and non-profit organizations of the event as they will have the opportunity to interact with thousand of enthusiastic fans. \nThe eclectic group of live entertainers is sure to attract a very diverse audience. The Brooklyn Music Festival’s bands will include Pop\, Disco\, Funk\, Alternative Rock\, Country and much more. NEGNYC believes this formula will give birth to The Brooklyn Music Festival as an annual event enjoyed by the whole tri-state area for many years to come. \nThe Brooklyn Music Festival is a FREE event\, admission to the festival is easily obtained by registering on the RSVP page.  Donations are being collected through the ticket page and at the day of the event. A portion of these donations will also benefit The Coalition for the Homeless which helps over 3\,500 men\, women and children each day with food\, crisis services\, advocacy\, housing\, job training and kids programs. “Help us Help others” \nPhoto Credit: Novas Entertainment Group NYC
