GlobalGoals Webinar Series – GLOBALGOALS

Five years after the introduction of the Agenda 2030, we have brought together 61 scholars to assess whether the SDGs facilitated a transition towards a more just and sustainable society. Guided by the questions whether, to what extent and how the SDGs have brought about any behavioural change of political, economic, or societal actors since 2015 we have reviewed more than 3.000 scientific articles published between 2015 and 2020. The result is The SDG Impact Assessment which will be published in spring 2022. In our GLOBALGOALS Webinar Series we are presenting some of the key insight of the six assessment areas.

Encouragement for Earth's Weary Lovers

Without transformative progress by 2030 we face a world that will break through the global warming threshold of 1.5 degrees and severely limit humanity's ability to ensure the long-term survival of successive generations and species. Such transformative action can only occur through an alignment of individual, community, corporate and government actions and a change in universal consciousness that places the planet first over individual self interests. This webinar will explore how we can collectively reduce our carbon footprint by 40% by 2030 and transformatively increase carbon storage. How do we make this happen? Hear from leading thought actionists and artists who are addressing these topics at all levels of engagement.

Report Launch: The Gendered and Racial Impacts of the Fossil Fuel Industry

On September 12, WECAN held a virtual launch event for the report, "The Gendered and Racial Impacts of the Fossil Fuel Industry in North America and Complicit Financial Institutions (Fourth Edition).” From rising cancer rates to escalating violence, the report details the numerous disproportionate health and safety risks and impacts women in all their diversity are experiencing due to fossil fuel extraction, which is also perpetuating Indigenous and human rights violations. The report highlights regional case studies from Black, Brown, Indigenous, and low-income communities in North America, as well as the corresponding financial institutions that are contributing to these egregious harms. The report outlines recommendations for the banks to move toward accountability and a just transition. During the online event, we heard from frontline women leaders, health experts, and advocates who are demanding accountability from financial institutions to take action for the health of our communities, ecosystems, and the climate. Speakers included: ✴️ Roishetta Sibley Ozane M.S., Founder of Vessel Project of Louisiana and Gulf Fossil Finance Coordinator, Louisiana ✴️ Rene Ann Goodrich (Bad River Ojibwe), Native Lives Matter Coalition and Wisconsin Department of Justice Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women (MMIW) Task Force Member, Wisconsin ✴️ Sharon Lavigne, Founder of RISE St. James, and 2021 Goldman Prize Winner, Louisiana ✴️ Patricia Garcia-Nelson (Oraricha Tribes of Mexico and the Chichimeca), Colorado Fossil Fuel Just Transition Advocate for Green Latinos, Northern Colorado ✴️ Casey Camp Horinek (Ponca Nation), Environmental Ambassador for the Ponca Nation, and Board Member and Project Coordinator for WECAN, Oklahoma ✴️ Antonia Juhasz, Investigative Journalist, author, lecturer, Washington, DC ✴️ Dr. Nneoma Nwachuku Ojiaku, MD, MPH Obstetrician-Gynecologist, Climate Health Now ✴️ Osprey Orielle Lake, Report Co-author, and Founder…

Trevor Hancock on The Wellbeing Society.

Description: We have surpassed the limits to growth, crossing 6 of 9 planetary boundaries & exceeding the Earth’s biocapacity 5 x in Canada. Our current economic system, & the core values that underpin it, is not fit for purpose in the 21st century: not only is it depleting natural capital & driving declining planetary health, it is also depleting social capital & driving deepening inequality. The World Health Organization has called for the creation of sustainable well-being societies committed to equitable health now & for future generations without breaching ecological limits. How might this look? Biography: Dr. Trevor Hancock is a public health physician & health promotion consultant. He retired in 2018 from his position as Professor & Senior Scholar (School of Public Health & Social Policy, U Victoria). He is a founder of the global Healthy Cities & Communities movement, co-founded both the Canadian Association of Physicians for the Environment & the Canadian Coalition for Green Health Care, & was the 1st leader of the Green Party of Canada. His recent focus has been the combination of his main interests: the relationship between human health & the natural environment (planetary health); & linking the healthy & sustainable community approaches through the concept of a 'One Planet' region.

Increasing Affordability Through Municipal Climate Action - BUILDINGS pt. 1

Increasing Affordability Through Municipal Climate Action - Webinar Series 🌱 Webinar 1 / 8 - Buildings, Part 1: New Constructions --------- In this series, we will delve deep into the intersection of affordability and local climate action, exploring innovative policy solutions and successful case studies from municipalities around the country! Webinar #1 theme: Buildings 🏘️ ☀️ Bringing fossil fuel infrastructure into new developments not only undermine our climate commitments, but also risks becoming a stranded asset as this infrastructure often requires about 30 years to pay for the upfront capital costs. In addition, it ties in these new developments to at least 15 years of fossil fuel use via the life span of the mechanical systems within the actual buildings. Green Standards and ultimately codes will be required to drive the market towards increased options for low carbon energy planning in new developments. What does this low carbon transformation of new building stock mean to affordability? This webinar will discuss the affordability implications associated with decarbonizing our new buildings, and explore what is meant by affordability and for whom?

Discussion with a Climate Doomer: Interview with Prof. Eliot Jacobson

Prof. Eliot Jacobson is a self-proclaimed "doomer" who posts regularly on Twitter/X about data showing that climate change is reaching catastrophic levels. In this Climate Chat episode, we will talk with Prof. Jacobson about what it means to be a doomer, what types of doomers are there, and whether "doomerism" helps or hurts the move to climate action. We will also discuss the state of the climate and what current climate data concerns Prof. Eliot the most. Prof. Eliot Jacobson received his Ph.D. in mathematics from the University of Arizona in 1983. He was a professor of mathematics at Ohio University from 1983 to 1998, getting tenure in 1989. From 1999 to 2009, he was a Visiting Associate Professor of Computer Science at UC Santa Barbara and this position turned into a full-time teaching (Lecturer) position. Prof. Jacobson then pursued his interest in gambling and became a consultant to the gambling industry. While not a climate scientist, his interest in (and alarm of) climate change grew and Prof. Jacobson began writing about climate change on his website https://climatecasino.net For more Climate Chat episodes, see our YouTube home page: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC3BXcpYFCzTndJ9Fisi32qg
