SUMMARY:High Bridge Walking Tour
DESCRIPTION:The High Bridge reopened as a walkway in summer 2015 after a renovation. Join Bryan Diffley\, the Project Manager of the renovation\, for a tour of NYC’s oldest standing bridge. An engineering treasure\, it was built in 1848 to bring water from the Bronx into Manhattan via the Croton Aqueduct. \nThe High Bridge remained in use for the Croton system until December 1958. Its deck was used as a pedestrian bridge until the 1970’s when it was closed due to vandalism. The city began restoring the bridge in 2012.

SUMMARY:Wild Walk in Central Park: With One Earth Conservation
DESCRIPTION:The Climate Reality NYC Metro Chapter invites you to join us as we learn together how biodiversity loss and climate change intersect through a guided walk in our own Central Park. \nUnder the guidance and direction of One Earth Conservation’s Nurture Nature Program we will be lead by Rev. Dr. LoraKim Joyner and Gail Koelln (Climate Reality Leader)\, Co-directors of One Earth. This is a nonsectarian event which will immerse you in the spiritual aspect of nature – a force much greater than ourselves. \nOur hope is to more deeply connect to nature so that we can live with more resilience\, joy\, and contribution to life around us. For a short time we cast off our culture’s attempt to domesticate us and return to our wild selves. We begin with a guided walk that contains practices to grow five natural intelligences – emotional\, social\, multispecies\, ecological\, and spiritual. The second half of the walk we will identify birds and trees\, and enjoy the morning’s light. \nDress comfortably for about 1.5 hours outside. Bring binoculars as we will also be birdwatching! \nIf you get lost or arrive late\, text/call to 914-325-9574. For any questions\, email info@oneearthconservation.org. \nCheck back here for any weather advisories and dress accordingly. There will be an alternate indoor activity if it is too rainy to be outdoors. Please RSVP so you will get instructions under those circumstances.

SUMMARY:Designing Waste: Strategies for a Zero Waste City
DESCRIPTION:Every day\, tens of thousands of trucks filled with food\, clothing\, and other goods arrive in New York City to be delivered\, unpacked\, and consumed. And every day\, approximately 24\,000 tons of discarded materials leave the city as waste. Waste management costs New York City over a billion dollars every year. To combat this problem\, in 2014\, the city announced a Zero Waste plan to reduce the amount of discards sent to landfills by 90% by 2030.\n \nDesigning Waste: Strategies for a Zero Waste City explores how we manage waste in our buildings and neighborhoods\, and how design can help reduce the amount of waste that goes to landfill. The exhibition examines the architecture of New York City’s gray spaces for trash—the overlooked areas where waste is managed in our buildings. This is when waste is closest to us\, when it’s sorted and stored in apartments\, trash rooms\, basement corridors\, loading bays\, and sidewalks. And this is where architects\, designers\, and building professionals have agency to transform the waste system. \nThe exhibition is based on the Zero Waste Design Guidelines\, an expansive document that examines architectural strategies for waste reduction.

SUMMARY:Lemon Creek Walking Tour
DESCRIPTION:Lemon Creek is one of the longest aboveground creeks in New York City\, and its route cuts deeply into the history of Staten Island. Once famous for its oysters and oystermen\, it was a favorite haunt of author Joseph Mitchell in the 1950s\, and is now a Staten Island Bluebelt\, harboring eagles\, peacocks\, and deer. Join writer and photographer Nathan Kensinger on a walk tracing out the lower portions of this fascinating waterway\, as it flows through historic neighborhoods and protected parklands\, and out to Prince’s Bay. \nSturdy\, closed-toed shoes are recommended for this walk\, which will involve following footpaths over streams and through wooded environments. We will start at Amboy Road and Penton Street and end the walk at Bayview Ave. and Johnston Terrace. \nThis walking tour is sponsored by Council Member Joseph Borelli. \nRain date: June 23rd.

SUMMARY:Landmark Bushwick Breuckelen Beer Tour
DESCRIPTION:Back once again by popular demand! \nJoin beer aficionado Chris Heuberger on a guided walking tour of Brewers Row dating from when Bushwick\, Brooklyn was the brewing center of America.

SUMMARY:May Forum: Resilient Solar
DESCRIPTION:As the solar energy industry continues its breakneck growth\, more questions arise around how we can use this intermittent source of energy and still have reliably consistent power. This issue becomes even more critical in an era of more frequent and catastrophic climate events that can and have taken down the electrical grid.\n \nIn 2018\, we are seeing the rise of Resilient Solar: the pairing of solar energy systems with complementary technologies to provide stable\, continuous power to buildings and communities even when the electrical grid is down as we experienced in the aftermath of Superstorm Sandy and Hurricane Maria\, among other events in recent years. We’re talking about energy storage technologies\, community solar\, on-site generation\, microgrids\, cogeneration (combined heat & power) and more.\n \nAs startups\, developers\, tech companies\, governments\, utilities\, and community groups dedicate themselves to creating new solutions towards building a resilient energy infrastructure\, we invite you to join the conversation on May 16th at GreenHomeNYC’s May forum hosted by Urban Future Lab\, to meet experts\, ask questions\, and learn about what’s happening here in NYC and beyond.

Humans have literally harvested the life out of horseshoe crabs for multiple purposes; we interpret them for understanding geologic time; we bleed them for biomedical applications; we eat them as delicacies; we rescue them for conservation; we capture them as bait; and we categorize them as endangered after having once collected them for agricultural fertilizer. On the other hand\, the crabs make humans matter by revealing our species vulnerability to endotoxins\, offering career opportunities\, profiting off of crab bodies\, and fertilizing the soil of agricultural harvest for human food. \nDr. Moore’s lecture will be introduced by Dr. Elizabeth Albert of St. John’s University and author of Silent Beaches: Untold Stories of New York City’s Forgotten Waterfront; and by Matt Malina\, Founder and Director of NYC H2O\, our frequent collaborator for events and lectures. \nThis lecture is free and open to the public\, but we ask that you RSVP at the Eventbrite page for the lecture.

SUMMARY:Climate Change and Socio-Demographic Dynamics in Mexico
DESCRIPTION:This presentation will discuss two studies on the impacts of climate change in Mexico. The first uses novel estimates of climate change impacts on agricultural productivity and food prices in Mexico to examine how this will differentially influence rural vs urban poverty in Mexico (2020–2040). It considers the implications of different socioeconomic trajectories for household poverty and whether mitigation policy matter for poverty reduction.  The second will examine the results of a scenario-based exercise on the impacts of climate change on Mexico’s future internal migration flows and population distribution. \nPresenters:  \n\nLandy Sanchez Peña (Center for Demographic\, Urban\, and Environmental Studies\, El Colegio de Mexico)\nSusana Adamo (CIESIN\, The Earth Institute at Columbia University)\n\nRSVP here:\nhttps://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfeq7kKW-bcm-csDyqGJaZB7XoKw8EekWrW8L1R_RFjGv-CAg/viewform

SUMMARY:International Conference on Sustainable Cities
DESCRIPTION:Creating sustainable cities has become one of the most pressing issues facing the United States and the global community. As Dr. Steven Cohen\, Executive Director of the Columbia Earth Institute\, has noted\, a sustainable city “uses resources as efficiently as possible\, uses renewable resources as much as possible\, recycles as much as possible and has the least possible impact on the natural environment.” There is a growing consensus\, Dr. Cohen argues\, that our cities must be “attractive\, exciting\, healthy and productive places to live\, learn\, develop\, work and play.” \nThere is\, however\, far less consensus about how cities can most efficiently and effectively design and implement the architecture and systems to grow and prosper sustainably\, as the world’s population urbanizes and the threats to urban areas increase. Rigorous research related to sustainable cities is thus more central than ever\, and the questions scholars face are urgent: What is a sustainable city? What is the role of climate change in sustainable cities? And what is the future of the sustainable city—and how can we best get there? \nIn a unique collaboration to help answer these questions\, three universities—Fordham\, Columbia and NYU—in the world’s greatest city are organizing a two-day interdisciplinary International Conference on Sustainable Cities. The Conference\, which will be held on May 1-2\, 2018 at Fordham University’s Lincoln Center campus\, will bring together leading scholars from a range of disciplines with policymakers\, business leaders\, and advocates to share insights and set a comprehensive research agenda for this vital subject. \n\nThis event will be held at Fordham University Lincoln Center Campus\, McNally Amphitheatre\n113 West\, 60th Street\, New York\, NYRegistration is free\, but required. Please register online here:\nhttps://www.web.fordham.edu/info/27345/sustainable_cities_conference_registration \nFor questions about the event\, please email sustainablecitiesconference@fordham.edu

SUMMARY:Brooklyn Waters: Sea Level Rise\, Sustainability\, and Resilience along the Brooklyn Waterfront
DESCRIPTION:The Brooklyn Waterfront Research Center (BWRC) presents Brooklyn Waters\, a full-day conference on sea level rise\, sustainability\, and resiliency along the Brooklyn waterfront. Brooklyn Waters will examine how preparation for storm surge and rising tides has already remade – and is set to radically remake – the coastal areas of Kings County. \nWhile the Brooklyn waterfront holds much in common with other coastal regions—and with those of its sister boroughs— the challenges it faces are unique. The past two decades have ushered in a dramatic transformation of the Brooklyn waterfront district’s built environment. Now\, we are faced with yet another dramatic waterfront transformation in the coming two decades\, one the will be driven by the unwieldy forces of ecological systems. \nThe conference opens with a provocative primer on sea level rise\, subsidence\, and storm surges. A panel will discuss how these issues have already catalyzed change along the water—in the waterfront’s infrastructure\, its transportation systems\, its low-lying communities\, and its public housing. The core of the conference\, however\, will center on the question: What is the future of Brooklyn’s built and natural waterfront? \nBrooklyn Waters will offer a diverse set of perspectives on the topic of future interventions and approaches to rising tides. Various waterfront community leaders will share their grassroots planning efforts. City officials will speak about both the near and long-term promises of resiliency planning. Architects will debate the role and limits of design in creating resilient neighborhoods. Environmental experts will discuss efforts to protect Brooklyn’s natural and constructed shorelines\, including Jamaica Bay and Brooklyn Bridge Park. The conference’s agenda will span the gamut from urban policy\, engineering\, community activism\, to land use.  \nPlease register here & reserve your seat today.

SUMMARY:Climate Change & SIDS: Navigating Resilience in Place in an Age of Retreat
DESCRIPTION:Small Island Developing States (SIDS) are a group of countries that face unique sustainable development challenges; one such challenge is their vulnerability to climate change and susceptibility to natural disasters.Currently SIDS are facing loss of land in low-lying coastal areas\, as well as loss of ecosystem services and livelihoods. \nWith the devastating effects of climate change\, intertwined with other trends such as population growth and globalization\, the question thus lies – should whole populations of SIDS retreat\, in/out-of-country migration\, or can they create resilience strategies in order to adapt in place to the challenges they face? This panel discussion on Resilience in Place in an Age of Retreat aims to explore this question while promoting interdisciplinary dialogues amongst the Columbia community. \nThe panel consists of: \nLisa Dale\, our moderator for the evening\, joined the Earth Institute this past year as a lecturer for the Undergraduate Program in Sustainable Development. With a Ph.D in environmental policy\, Lisa has worked with the UN on climate change adaptation and most recently directed the Yale Center for Environmental Law & Policy. This past fall\, Lisa taught Environmental Policy & Governance for Sustainable Development\, examining policy frameworks at the national and international levels through a sustainability lens. She also serves on the Steering Committee of Columbia’s Adaptation Initiative. \nAngela Burnett\, one of our panelists\, was born and raised in The Virgin Islands. Her passion for the future sustainable development of the Territory led her to pursue a career in the environment. In 2007 she graduated from Brandeis University with a Bachelor’s Degree in Environmental Studies and Sustainable Development. Angela also holds a Master of City and Regional Planning (M.C.R.P.) from the Rutgers University Edward J. Bloustein School of Planning and Public Policy with a dual focus in Environmental and Physical Planning and Housing and Real Estate. Having recently lived through the devastation of Hurricane Irma\, the most powerful Atlantic hurricane to ever make landfall\, Angela feels compelled to act on a global stage in the fight against climate change. \nRadley Horton\, one of our panelists\, is an Associate Research Professor at the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory. His research focuses on climate extremes\, tail risks\, climate impacts\, and adaptation. He currently Co-Chairs Columbia’s Adaptation Initiative\, and is Principal Investigator for the Columbia University-WWF ADVANCE partnership\, and the NOAA-Regional Integrated Sciences and Assessments-funded Consortium for Climate Risk in the Urban Northeast. Radley is also the Columbia University lead for the Department of Interior-funded Northeast Climate Science Center\, and is a PI on an NSF funded Climate Change Education Partnership Project. Most recently\, Radley has been a Co-leader in the development of a global research agenda in support of the United Nations Environmental Program’s Programme on Vulnerability\, Impacts\, and Adaptation (PROVIA) initiative. \nRiad Meddeb\, one of our panelists\, currently serves as the Principal SIDS Advisor for the United Nations Development Programme. He specializes in trade\, investment\, migration\, and technology innovation to address issues and facilitate decisions of policy makers with over 20 years’ experience working with UN agencies\, such as UNDP\, UNCTAD\, and UNITAR. Riad has had extensive experience as an economic and policy advisor to the UN and foreign governments\, such as providing assessment and policy advice on economic recovery and livelihoods to support country to mainstream and implement the Sustainable Development Goals. \nTearinaki Tanielu\, one of our panelists\, is the Kiribati representative for AOSIS (Alliance of Small Island States). Tearinaki is an environmental scientist and policy researcher\, who has worked with local governments\, international development organisations and with research institutions – focusing on social development and improving livelihoods in our local communities. His key areas of interest and speciality encompass issues that are most pertinent to social development\, particularly in the Pacific Region\, including: climate change\, coastal management\, water resources management\, and oceans governance policy and marine law.

SUMMARY:Zone Greener: Higher-Efficiency Wall Systems
DESCRIPTION:In 2012\, the City of New York adopted a package of amendments to the NYC Zoning Resolution\, collectively called Zone Green\, to facilitate more sustainable and energy-efficient design. Zone Green addressed barriers to building thicker\, better-insulated walls. It also covered the inclusion of sustainable design strategies\, such as solar panels\, solar shading systems\, green roofs\, and greenhouses. \nFast forward six years: although Zone Green successfully solved the problems anticipated at the time\, new technologies and new barriers have since emerged. Last fall\, Urban Green convened a Task Force of over 40 stakeholders to develop a roadmap for Zone Greener\, a set of potential upgrades to the Zoning Resolution that would unlock further opportunities for the next generation of green building. \nPart one of this two-part series focuses on building better walls; the second will focus on solar. Expert panelists will address several major wall-related issues identified by the Task Force: thermal bridging\, high-performance curtain walls\, super-efficient walls\, and the re-cladding or over-cladding of mid-century modern buildings. Panelists will also discuss the successes of Zone Green in facilitating the construction of new masonry walls and the addition of exterior insulation. \nMember: Free\nGeneral Public: $10\nStudent with Valid ID: Free
