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:Eco Fashion Expo
DESCRIPTION:It is estimated by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) that the U.S. disposes approximately 12.8 million tons of textiles annually. This number has increased largely due to the rise of ‘fast fashion’\, in which clothing is essentially so inexpensive that it is practically seen as disposable to the typical consumer. Although many retail companies and nonprofit organizations have been making efforts to collect old clothing\, much of it still ends up in the landfills. Since many companies outsource their clothing\, much of the most severe impacts are seen abroad. Fueled by these alarming facts\, we believe it is incredibly important that the student body is informed of these negative impacts in a visual\, yet creative way\, which is why we organized an eco-fashion show. Our goal is to promote sustainable fashion choices and values in the Hunter and NYC community. We want to open people’s eyes to the great possibilities that “trash” can become\, encouraging reuse and repurposing. Our 9 designers will be repurposing old materials (clothes\, curtains\, bags\, etc.) Why waste when you can create? \nSchedule\n5:30pm – 6:00pm: Open Doors (GreeNYC reusable gear\, food\, and refreshments!) \n6:00pm (Sharp!): Show begins \n6:00pm – 6:25pm: Introduction / 3 Designers’ work modeledreus \n6:25pm – 6:50pm: Tara St. James (Founder of Study NY and Production Coordinator + Research Fellow at Brooklyn Fashion + Design Accelerator) \n6:50pm -7:10pm: 3 Designers’ work modeled \n7:10pm – 7:30pm: Intermission (survey\, food\, and refreshments!) \n7:30pm – 7:50pm: 3 Designers’ work modeled \n7:50pm – 8:00pm: Closing Remarks \nThank you to TGIF (Hunter’s Green Initiative Fund) for funding our project. Our food is catered by Market Crates.

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:Feeding the Apple: New York's Future Food Supply
DESCRIPTION:Join Dan Barber\, chef and co-owner of two restaurants\, Blue Hill in Manhattan’s Greenwich Village and Blue Hill at Stone Barns in Pocantico Hills\, NY\, and New York Times Food reporter Julia Moskin for a conversation about how we can rethink what\, and how\, we eat. A food industry revolutionary\, most recently Barber has spearheaded a food waste pop-up restaurant\, WastED\, where he and big-name guest chefs serve dishes composed entirely of ingredients that normally would be destined for the garbage — kale ribs\, fish heads\, and bruised produce.  \nAbout the Speakers:\nDan Barber is the chef and co-owner of Blue Hill and Blue Hill at Stone Barns\, and the author of The Third Plate (May 2014\, The Penguin Press). His opinions on food and agricultural policy have appeared in The New York Times\, along with many other publications. Appointed by President Barack Obama to serve on the President’s Council on Physical Fitness\, Sports and Nutrition\, Barber continues the work that he began as a member of Stone Barns Center for Food and Agriculture’s board of directors: to blur the line between the dining experience and the educational\, bringing the principles of good farming directly to the table.  \nJulia Moskin has been a New York Times Food staff reporter since 2004. She reports news\, writes profiles\, and spots trends. Most pointedly\, she has exposed the frequent use of ghostwriters by celebrity cookbook authors\, and her investigation into the finances of the James Beard Foundation led to the resignation of its entire board of trustees. Recently\, she’s been investigating the best recipes for kitchen classics in her video column Recipe Lab. \nThis is the fourth program in our new series\, New York’s Future in a Changing Climate\, which explores the challenges and opportunities presented in the Museum’s Future City Lab\, the interactive third gallery in the New York at Its Core exhibition. To view all of the programs in the series\, click here.

SUMMARY:Reimagining the Good Life: Sustainability Ethics in Theory and Practice
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for a half-day conference on sustainability ethics and resilience. The conference\, scheduled Wednesday\, April 18\, 2018\, brings together philosophers and other environmental theorists to address questions at the intersection of sustainability\, philosophy\, and ethics. These questions include: How can we revise our idea of “the good life” to promote sustainability? How do we balance our responsibilities toward future generations against our responsibilities to those alive now? What are the possibilities and prospects for indigenous environmental resistance? Finally\, what are our moral obligations in an era in which we can no longer rely exclusively on our governments to solve our most urgent environmental problems? \nBreakfast 8:30 AM\nKeynote 9:00 AM\nSession I 10:00 AM\nSession II 11:30 AM

SUMMARY:Michael Murphy: Justice is Beauty
DESCRIPTION:Can buildings heal and promote justice in our divided communities? How can we use design tools to create a healthier community and a more just world? MASS Design Group’s Co-founder and Executive Director Michael Murphy will showcase projects that inquire whether we are missing under-leveraged resources for promoting health\, justice\, and human dignity. With over 20 projects built or under construction around the globe\, MASS has worked to pioneer a practice model that attempts to reinsert architectural agency upstream and for the public benefit. \nSpeaker:\nMichael Murphy\, Co-Founder and Executive Director\, MASS Design Group; Adjunct Associate Professor\, Columbia University GSAPP \nGeneral Public: $10\nMember: Free\nStudent with Valid ID: Free\n \nPhoto: Bret Hartman/TED.\n

SUMMARY:City Design in Times of Proliferating Informality and Climatological Crisis
DESCRIPTION:This lecture by Alfredo Brillembourg will explore the work of ETH Zurich Urban-Think Tank (U-TT)\, an interdisciplinary design practice dedicated to high-level research and design on a variety of subjects concerned with contemporary architecture and urbanism. U-TT was co-founded by Alfredo Brillembourg and Hubert Klumpner\, who previously co-taught at Columbia University in New York before joining U-TT in 2010. U-TT has been awarded the Ralph Erskine Award\, the Holcim Gold Award for innovative contributions to ecological and social design practices\, and the 2012 Venice Biennale of Architecture Golden Lion. \nNYU Urban Seminar Series: Equity\, Design\, and Climate Change\nCo-sponsored by NYU Wagner\, NYU Department of Environmental Studies\, and UPSA.\n \nCities today are growing quickly. The UN projects that continuing population growth and urbanization will add 2.5 billion people to the world’s urban centers by 2050. Even as our cities expand\, unprecedented climate events flood our urban spaces\, redraw shorelines\, and devastate infrastructure. In the face of these twinned challenges of rapid growth and climate change\, how do we design our cities so that they are inclusive\, and remain centers of economic growth and creative dynamism that integrate new arrivals\, while at the same time becoming more resilient to climate change? How do we ensure that our design approaches promote equity in our cities\, and address climate change impacts that are most often felt by the economically vulnerable populations and areas of our cities? How do we create a design process that is inclusive\, represents the needs of different urban constituencies\, and draws on the creativity of all residents as we address emergent climate shifts? The 2018 NYU Urban Seminar Series will include urban planners\, designers\, researchers\, practitioners\, and artists whose work explores the intersection of equity\, design\, and climate change.

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

SUMMARY:Designing to Avoid Disaster
DESCRIPTION:Thomas Fisher\, a professor and Director of the Minnesota Design Center at the University of Minnesota\, will discuss the fracture-critical nature of many of the systems we have put in place since the mid-20th century\, how such systems are especially vulnerable to catastrophic failure\, and what we need to do to create more resilient\, affordable\, and equitable systems in the future. He will show how fracture-critical failures follow a consistent pattern and how we can spot the vulnerability of systems and prevent their failure. \nNYU Urban Seminar Series: Equity\, Design\, and Climate Change\nCo-sponsored by NYU Wagner\, NYU Department of Environmental Studies\, and UPSA.\n \nCities today are growing quickly.

SUMMARY:Innovations in Global Low-Carbon Academic Conferencing with a Human Touch
DESCRIPTION:A burst of new experimentation may soon transform long-distance academic conferencing technologies. Many academics recognize the need to reduce the greenhouse gas emissions of our academic conferencing\, and yet we feel dissatisfied with the personal experience of “webinars.” The problem is not just technological. This talk describes recent demonstrations of two new formats for low-carbon long-distance conferencing with a human touch. It connects these innovations with broader sustainability initiatives in universities and research communities (flyingless.org).\n \n\nParke Wilde (PhD\, Cornell) is a food economist at the Friedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy at Tufts University. Previously\, he worked USDA’s Economic Research Service. At Tufts\, Parke teaches graduate-level courses in statistics and U.S. food policy. His research addresses food security and hunger measurement\, the economics of food assistance programs\, and federal dietary guidance policy. He has been a member of the Institute of Medicine’s Food Forum and currently is on the scientific and technical advisory committee for Menus of Change\, an initiative to advance the health and sustainability of the restaurant industry. He directs the USDA-funded Tufts/UConn Research Innovation and Development Grants in Economics (RIDGE) program. Parke keeps a blog at usfoodpolicy.com. In March\, 2018\, Routledge/Earthscan is releasing the second edition of his book\, titled Food Policy in the United States: An Introduction.

SUMMARY:Climate Change and Health Priorities for Vulnerable Populations
DESCRIPTION:Half day Satellite Session of the 2018 Consortium of Universities for Global Health’s Annual Conference. \nEpidemics\, like weather and climate\, do not respect national borders. Since 2005 there has been increasing international cooperation on global health security. The Lancet Commission “Count Down on Health and Climate Change” Oct 2017 proposed access to climate services as a key indicator of adaptation and resilience to climate change for the health sector. As many health outcomes are climate sensitive there is increasing interest in integrating knowledge and information on climate variability and change into the operational activities for the control of infectious diseases\, public health outcomes of disasters and nutrition. This satellite session will explore the intersection of climate variability and change and health priorities for vulnerable populations around the globe. \nThis session is organized by the International Research Institute for Climate and Society (IRI)\, and convened by: \n* Madeleine Thomson\, Director WHO\, Collaborating Center (US 403); International Research Institute for Climate and Society & Mailman School of Public Health\, Columbia University\, New York\n* John Balbus\, National Institute of Environmental Sciences\, Baltimore\n* Jonathon Patz\, Global Health Institute\, Madison Wisconsin\n* Wilmot James\, Pediatrics\, CUMC\, SIPA\, Columbia University\, New York \n \nEvent Contact Information: \nIRI Seminar\nSeminar@iri.columbia.edu
