SUMMARY:Numancia: Universal Paradigm of Liberty\, Culture\, and Sustainability
DESCRIPTION:Abstract \n2150 years ago\, the world experienced an incredible historical event. A smallvillage in the Hispania Plateau resisted for 20 years the most powerful army in the world.Seneca\, Ovid\, Appian\, Polybius\, Cicero\, Cervantes\, Goethe\, Machado\, Gerardo Diego\,would all pay homage with gilt letters to this remarkable feat as a universal historicalsymbol\, legend\, and factual myth. \nNumancia is the history of a people that wanted to die to defend\, human freedom\, dignity\, honor\, sacrifice\, common efforts\, unity\, independence\, nobility\, and peace. Together with Rome that gifted the law\, cities\, citizenship\, infrastructure\, language and religion\, with Greco-Roman and Christianculture\, the history of Numancia ultimately establishes the origin of the history ofhuman rights and democracy. \nNumancia is a hidden treasure; a multi-faceted historical diamond reflecting theuniversal paradigm of human liberty. The essential values that twenty-two centurieslater Numancia lent to us\, moreover represent the universal paradigm of the liberty ofhumanity as the essence of our “best moral heritage” that\, in and of itself\, is the ultimatedefinition of culture. This now forms what we refer to as the “Fourth Pillar;” thecornerstone upon which we can construct a world of intelligent\, sustainabledevelopment forever peruse the betterment of present and future generations. \nBiography \nAMALIO DE MARICHALAR Y SÁENZ DE TEJADA\, Count of Ripalda (b. 1958\, Pamplona\, Spain) independently studied law\, political science and sociology at the Complutense University\, Madrid\, and an MBA Agricultural Business\, Instituto de Empresa\, Madrid. His professional activities encompass sectors including innovations in the fields of insurance (founder of Armed Forces Peacekeeper insurance\, Spain)\, international investment\, foreign trade\, real estate\, and technology. He is Professor at the Society of International Studies (SEI\, Madrid)\, Member of the Council of the European Environmental Foundation (Freiburg\, Germany)\, and President of Soria 21 Forum for Sustainable Development. He organizes and participates in prestigious international conferences on Global Sustainable Development\, Climate Change\, and Corporate Social Responsibility including United Nations and World Bank initiatives. Marichalar proposes the understanding of culture and sustainability as the best moral inheritance of society\, standing as the “fourth pillar” of development and the cornerstone upon which to support the healthy growth of present and future generations.

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:Cli-Science Fights Back
DESCRIPTION:Official Event of Climate Week NYC 2018 \nAttacks on both the message and the messengers of climate science have been disturbingly resilient. Why is that? What are the best ways to reconnect sound science with clear-thinking public action on climate change? What strategies are climate scientists and science communicators developing now? \nModerator \nJohn Schwartz\, New York Times Science Reporter \nPanelists \nRobin E. Bell\, Professor\, Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory \nDavid Biello\, TEDEd\, Science Curator \nLisa Garcia\, Vice President of Litigation for Healthy Communities\, Earthjustice \nJeff Nesbitt\, Climate Nexus\, Executive Director \nJoin us for a panel discussion on why and how climate science has become part of the US culture wars and what to do to restore the voice and credibility of science as an irreplaceable guide to both public policy making and private decision making. \nAs a kick-off event of Climate Week NYC 2018\, organized by the Sabin Center for Climate Change Law\, the Sallan Foundation\, Earth Institute and Climate Science Legal Defense Fund\, expect this panel to do a deep dive into why the US\, virtually alone among nations\, has experienced a climate denialist riptide\, examine its consequences and how to most effectively counteract them. Don’t miss it. \nThis event is free but spaces are limited. Please register here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/fighting-back-against-attacks-on-climate-science-tickets-48522592380?aff=ehomecard.

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:Alive at Green-Wood Walking Tour
DESCRIPTION:There’s a lot more to a cemetery than death. There’s life – a lot of it. In fact\, for Green-Wood\, the natural environment is a critical part of our future. Join us for this new walking tour to explore the potential of the Cemetery’s 478 acres as a public garden\, a distinction that means much more than manicured lawns and azaleas. It means that we work to teach our visitors about Green-Wood’s ecology and environmental diversity. As an accredited arboretum\, the Cemetery has over 7\,000 trees and a master plan that includes new interpretive panels (signs) across the grounds. You’ll learn so much about the natural beauty and wildlife at Green-Wood that you’ll want to come back and give your own tour to family and friends!\n \nComfortable footwear recommended.

SUMMARY:Rise for Climate\, Jobs\, and Justice: Now is the Time for Action!!
DESCRIPTION:The weekend before San Francisco’s Global Climate Action Summit\, the Peoples Climate Movement will lead a national mobilization for climate\, jobs\, and justice. \nSeptember 8th will be a moving demonstration of the breadth and depth of the climate movement. Across the country\, tens of thousands of people will show our power by hitting the streets\, holding community forums\, and educating voters about the issues – all to ensure that elected and private sector leaders make action on climate a priority. \nFrom Seattle to Miami – and everywhere in-between – activists and non-activists alike will come together to demonstrate to the world that on this day\, and every day\, climate matters. Like the National Day of Action in 2015\, September 8th is about more than just numbers; it’s about telling the story of climate\, jobs\, and justice; it’s about showing that to change everything\, it takes everyone – including you; and it’s about committing to make climate action a part of the national dialogue in November\, in the months that follow\, and well into 2019 and 2020.

SUMMARY:Visit Swale at Brooklyn Army Terminal Pier 4
DESCRIPTION:Swale is a floating food forest built atop a barge that travels to piers in New York City\, offering educational programming and welcoming visitors to harvest herbs\, fruits and vegetables for free. Swale strives to strengthen stewardship of public waterways and land\, while working to shift policies that will increase the presence of edible perennial landscapes. \nSwale was founded in 2016 by artist Mary Mattingly\, through a grant from A Blade of Grass. \nIn the summer of 2016\, Swale launched at Concrete Plant Park in the South Bronx\, one of the largest food deserts in the United States. Food deserts are a reality in many communities in New York City; as many as three million New Yorkers live in communities with limited access to places where they can get fresh produce. Swale began as an idea to advocate for food to be grown on some of the 30\,000 acres of public land in New York City\, through urban stewardship initiatives led by community partners in the South Bronx. \nSwale currently works with Youth Ministries for Peace and Justice to run free public programming\, while also providing professional development opportunities for young folks in the South Bronx. In the summer of 2017\, Swale will continue to collaborate with Bronx River Alliance\, The Point and the New York City Parks Department to expand access to public food in the South Bronx. \n**Free and open to the public on Saturdays and Sundays 12-6pm** \n**Swale will be moving to Governor’s Island beginning in September**

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:The Fourth Regional Plan Opening
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the opening of The Fourth Regional Plan. \nIn 2017\, the Regional Plan Association published the Fourth Regional Plan\, a long-range strategic plan for the New York Metropolitan Area. Like RPA’s three previous plans\, released in the 1920s\, 1960s\, and 1990s\, the fourth plan was created to help elected officials\, policymakers\, and advocates plan for the region’s future. \nThe plan includes a broad vision and specific recommendations to promote equity\, health\, prosperity\, and sustainability for the next generation. It was the product of five years of research and public engagement with a wide range of stakeholders participating in the planning effort—from community members and civic organizations to business groups and public officials. \nRegister for free HERE
