SUMMARY:Global Council for Science and the Environment 2022
DESCRIPTION:Negative climate tipping points\, with catastrophic consequences\, are undeniably bearing down upon us. Pathways to achieve the UN Sustainable Development Goals\, and the goals of the Paris Climate Agreement\, are narrowing. \nYet\, researchers have also begun to identify cases where policy interventions can leverage tipping points to jumpstart positive changes. From electric vehicle markets to food systems to climate justice\, there is clear untapped potential for a new framework of solutions centered on the concept of reverse tipping cascades and thresholds for climate recovery. \nResearchers have described this potential as “plausible grounds for hope”. \nThe GCSE 2022 Virtual Conference will be a forum for interdisciplinary learning and collaboration to shift our global climate strategy. Together\, we can leverage positive tipping points to accelerate climate action and achieve our collective goals for people and the planet. \nInfo here.

SUMMARY:Conversations About Conservation: Sourcing Food Locally – A Priority
DESCRIPTION:The pandemic showed us just how deeply our community values the local food we source from the farmers and producers in our network – all of whom are our friends. That is why Matt and Marie Raboin\, owners of Brix Cider in Mt. Horeb\, connected with Black Krim Creative and UW-Madison to share the stories of how their partnerships work on the ground level. Last year\, Brix Cider sourced over 50% of all food and cider purchases directly from Wisconsin farmers. Join this Conversation About Conservation to learn how Brix Cider has challenged the norm in the restaurant industry and made local food the priority. \nInfo here.
