SUMMARY:Leading for Racial Equity Series: Learning and deconstructing structures of power and privilege in state and local government
DESCRIPTION:Even when we don’t recognize them\, many of our local government programs are built on structures of power and privilege. This webinar will help identify and break down these structures in the pursuit of developing more equitable and inclusive local governments. During the webinar\, you¿ll develop a shared understanding of concepts related to deconstructing inequitable systems and navigating change through a lens of racial equity and inclusion\, build a shared understanding of the historic roots and present-day manifestations of inequity\, and begin to explore the conditions needed\, for self and for organizations\, to undergo and sustain change toward racial equity and inclusion. This session will be led by the nINA Collective\, a multicultural group who bring decades of experience and expertise in systems change\, equity and inclusion capacity building in local government. \nInfo here.

SUMMARY:Organics Funding from USDA-NIFA through OREI
DESCRIPTION:This webinar will talk about the Organic Agriculture Research and Extension Initiative (OREI) grant opportunity from USDA-NIFA and will highlight successful projects funded through that program. There will also be a chance for Q&A after the presentation. The Call for this program is expected to be released in early December of this year. \nThe Organic Agriculture Research and Extension Initiative (OREI) seeks to solve critical organic agriculture issues\, priorities\, or problems through the integration of research\, education\, and extension activities. The purpose of this program is to fund projects that will enhance the ability of producers and processors who have already adopted organic standards to grow and market high quality organic agricultural products. Priority concerns include biological\, physical\, and social sciences\, including economics. The OREI is particularly interested in projects that emphasize research\, education and outreach that assist farmers and ranchers with whole farm planning by delivering practical research-based information. Projects should plan to deliver applied production information to producers. Fieldwork must be done on certified organic land or on land in transition to organic certification\, as appropriate to project goals and objectives. Refer to the USDA National Organic Program for organic production standards. \nInfo here.

SUMMARY:Building the Carbon Positive City
DESCRIPTION:A part of the Yale Forest Forum: The Future of Wood Building Products in a Changing Climate \nWood is a renewable resource that has wide material applications in many industries. Wood products sourced from sustainably managed forests store carbon and can play an important role in combating climate change. Recent innovations in the use of wood have led to the development of new products that can replace traditional fossil-based carbon-intensive materials\, particularly in the construction and energy sectors. Understanding the potential environmental impacts and societal implications of increases in both conventional and emerging wood products across their respective life cycles\, as well as their possible reuse in a circular construction economy\, is critical in assessing the climate mitigation potential of wood vs. other materials. \nWhat is the future role of forest products in addressing climate\, resources\, societal\, and environmental challenges? What are the environmental\, economic\, and societal implications for using more forest products? Hear from speakers representing forestry\, industrial ecology\, architecture\, conservation\, and academia. \nInfo here.

SUMMARY:Imperiled Shores
DESCRIPTION:Wildly varying Lake Michigan water levels have played havoc with the state’s shoreline and infrastructure. What do we need to know and how can we weigh in? \nThe Great Lakes region will spend nearly $2 billion over the next five years combating coastal damage exacerbated by climate change\, according to a recent survey of local governments. Wisconsin will bear an estimated burden of at least $245 million as a climate “tug of war” — evaporation from warming temperatures and increasingly intense storms — drives extreme shifts in water levels. Low-water years require expensive dredging of waterways so boats can reach their destinations. But high water brings destructive storm surges that swallow beaches\, swamp docks\, erode lakeside bluffs and shutter businesses. Shoreline erosion — and how to afford infrastructure improvements needed to protect against damage from high water — challenges urban centers and small towns along the Great Lakes. \nThis event will explore the ways Northeast Wisconsin communities can protect their shorelines from Lake Michigan’s volatile waters in the coming years. \nInfo here.

SUMMARY:Opportunities and Challenges in Offshore Wind
DESCRIPTION:Interest in the development of offshore wind is continuing to grow\, as more governments and industries are committing to the net-zero goals. This trend is gaining momentum in the U.S. Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) as well. Energy generated by offshore wind will be an important component of reaching net-zero emissions. In order to ensure that offshore wind is best integrated into the US energy landscape\, the complex technical and political frameworks must be understood. These include managing the needs of stakeholders involved in bringing wind farms to market\, ensuring that local infrastructure can reliably deliver offshore wind energy into the electrical grid\, and conducting research and development to produce technologies that make offshore wind energy safe\, environmentally responsible\, and fiscally competitive. During this colloquium\, our panel of experts in research\, policy\, and technology will discuss the value of offshore wind energy in the United States\, highlighting opportunities and challenges in the sector as it aims to meet the nation’s clean energy goals. \nInfo here.
