SUMMARY:Planetary Health
DESCRIPTION:An exciting discussion and debate on the interconnections between human health and planetary health hosted by The Climate Group\, in collaboration with The Rockefeller Foundation Economic Council on Planetary Health and Johnson and Johnson. \nThe health impacts from climate change are well documented. From the increased frequency and severity of heatwaves to the spread of tropical diseases\, climate change is expected to place increased stress on human health over the coming decades. On its own\, climate change will strain healthcare systems and budgets. However\, many experts now see it as just one of a set of interconnected environmental challenges that threaten human health.  \nThis event will bring together experts in the field of Planetary Health along with healthcare leaders from business and government to discuss and debate the economic and policy solutions that are required to address the health challenges and seize the opportunities presented by tackling climate change.

SUMMARY:Creating More Housing without New Construction
DESCRIPTION:Meeting our need for housing in New York is tough. We need to build more homes – but we also need to do more with what we have. Better using existing buildings and smaller lots\, and finding other creative ways of making room for more people to live is imperative to solving our housing crisis. It’s also no less important for our city that this type of new housing is as livable and well-designed as other more traditional housing. \nJoin RPA\, the Center for Architecture\, The Architectural League of New York\, local architects\, and others to explore how we can create alternative housing such as basement apartment\, accessory dwelling units\, and small infill\, in a way which adds to our built environment and produces the type of quality housing we need. \nThis program is related to the exhibition The Future of the New York Metropolitan Area: The Fourth Regional Plan.  \n1.5 LU / 1.5 HSW \nPricing: $10 for General Public\, Free for Members and Students with Valid ID

SUMMARY:Food\, Farming\, and Sustainability Conference
DESCRIPTION:The Environmental Sciences and Humanities Research Cluster at the Center for Science and Society invites you to “Food\, Farming\, and Sustainability.” With approximately 815 million people around the world currently undernourished and the global population expected to grow by 2 billion by 2050\, two of the most pressing issues that humanity will face over the next 30 years is 1) the trend towards global hunger and 2) our ability to create innovative and equitable solutions to feeding the global population. Given that these issues are multidimensional and therefore cannot be solved through the lens of any one discipline\, we will convene an interdisciplinary conference that will look at the cultural\, economic\, and environmental aspects of sustainability in our food system. \nThis one-day conference will entail a mix of panel discussions and individual presentations from the morning to early afternoon that will be open to the public\, followed by a closed-door working group meeting for speakers. Advance registration for speaker sessions and panels required. Please click on the “Register” button above. \nFor a list of confirmed speakers and additional information\, please visit the Center for Science and Society website.

SUMMARY:The New Urban Crisis
DESCRIPTION:On Tuesday\, July 31st  Join Van Alen Institute as we delve into Richard Florida’s The New Urban Crisis.\n \nIn 2002\, Richard Florida published The Rise of the Creative Class\, urging city-makers to improve their neighborhoods by investing in amenities that would attract young “makers.”Creative Class quickly became a handbook for mayors\, developers\, and planners\, giving rise to walkability ratings\, cultural attractions\, and increased bike lanes. Yet over the same years\, rents and urban inequality have skyrocketed. Join us as we discuss Florida’s revision to his theory\, asking what went wrong\, and what we can learn to make cities better in the future. \nOpen to new and returning participants.\nFood and beverages will be provided \nRegister here: https://vanalen.secure.force.com/events/CnP_PaaS_EVT__ExternalRegistrationPage?event_id=a1Q2A0000084Le5UAE

SUMMARY:Dining Detritus: Zero Waste Restaurants
DESCRIPTION:This is a related program for the exhibition Designing Waste: Strategies for a Zero Waste City. \nCan design help restaurants and food service facilities go zero waste? In the third and final program related to the Designing Waste exhibition\, currently on view in the Center for Architecture galleries\, a chef\, a proprietor\, and a sustainability expert present and discuss the design interventions that have helped them reduce food waste\, improve recycling\, and move towards a circular economy.  \nIntroduction:\nChristina Grace\, CEO and Founder\, Foodprint Group; Co-author of the Zero Waste Design Guidelines \nSpeakers:\nCamilla Marcus\, Founder\, west~bourne\nElizabeth Meltz\, Director of Health\, Safety\, and Environment\, Eataly\nKelly Jacques\, Operations Manager\, Breads Bakery \nModerator:\nAndrew Blum\, Curator\, Designing Waste \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. \nEvery 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\, the city announced a Zero Waste plan in 2014 to reduce the amount of discards sent to landfills by 90% by 2030. \nDesigning Waste 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. \n#DesigningWaste

SUMMARY:Zone Greener: Facilitating Solar Adoption
DESCRIPTION:In 2012\, the New York City 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\, the Urban Green Council 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. These recommendation are detailed in a new Urban Green report\, Zone Greener. \nPart 2 of this event series will focus on modifications to the Zoning Resolution that would continue to advance solar energy in New York City. This event will discuss progress made in the uptake of solar installations since 2012\, as well as recommendations and solutions for newly identified issues involving rooftop solar\, ground-mounted solar\, and solar batteries. \nPart 1 of this two-part series focused on building better walls. You can read more about that event here. \nSpeakers:\nLaurie Kerr\, FAIA\, LEED AP\, Director of Policy\, Urban Green Council \nAdditional speakers TBA.

SUMMARY:Sustainability ∩ Resilience Integration II: Metrics
DESCRIPTION:Metrics of Resilience and the RELi Rating System\nSustainability and resilience are two sides of the same coin. When combined with regeneration\, civility\, and health\, they create an emergent property that can be thought of as a ‘living system.’ In this presentation\, architect and eco-entrepreneur Doug Pierce of Perkins+Will simultaneously explores the theory and practice of resilience through a holistic lens grounded in biomimicry and the reductive perspective of checklists. He will offer clarity on how sustainability and resilience overlap\, and where they differ. \nThis transdisciplinary presentation will blend design\, science\, and engineering with actionable metrics from the RELi Resilience Action List and rating system that are readily available to design practitioners\, decision-makers\, and policy experts. RELi was launched in 2014 and was adopted by the USGBC at Greenbuild 2017. \nSpeaker:\nDoug Pierce\, AIA\, LEED Fellow\, Global Resilience Lab Co-Director and Senior Architect\, Perkins+Will \nFree for students; $10 for general public

SUMMARY:Funding the Future: Resilience Planning Across Public and Private Sectors
DESCRIPTION:In recent years\, resilience planning across all domains has become a crucial part of national\, state\, and local discourse. It is essential to engage policy makers and funders in early planning phases to better understand how policy can influence funding opportunities for these projects. Architects\, planners\, landscape designers\, policy makers\, financiers\, and funders can and should work together to improve this critical part of the resiliency design process. \nThis interdisciplinary program will focus on understanding cross-industry relationships and strategies to address the complexities of planning\, financing\, and insuring waterfront plans and projects. Participants will leave with a template for creating a project funding strategy\, along with a checklist of experts and professionals to involve. \nUsing Jamaica Bay as a case study for New York City’s 520 miles of coastline\, we will address the challenges of implementing forward-thinking resilient design strategies in the New York City region. \nIntroduction: Illya Azaroff\, AIA\, +LAB; Founding Co-Chair\, AIANY Design for Risk and Reconstruction Committee \nSpeakers:\nJoyce Coffee\, President\, Climate Resilience Consulting\nAlan Front\, CEO\, Conservation Pathways\nCortney Worrall\, Senior Regional Director\, Northeast Regional Office\, National Parks Conservation Association (NPCA) \nModerator: Janice Barnes\, PhD\, LEED AP BD+C\, Global Resilience Director/Principal\, Perkins + Will \nOrganized by: AIANY Design for Risk and Reconstruction Committee and the National Parks Conservation Association

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.

SUMMARY:The Sociology of Horseshoe Crabs and the Humans Who Use Them
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Lisa Jean Moore of SUNY Purchase\, author of Catch & Release\, explores the interspecies relationships between humans and horseshoe crabs – our multiple sites of entanglement and enmeshment. 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.
