Near Term to Net Zero: A New Approach to Setting Carbon Prices (December 2, 2020 8:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/78892 78892-20139089@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, December 2, 2020 8:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Citizens Climate Lobby

Join Citizens' Climate Lobby for a presentation on a new method for determining the carbon price needed to achieve net zero CO2 emissions.

Economists widely agree that putting a price on fossil fuels is the most effective tool for reducing carbon emissions. But what level of carbon price is needed to reduce carbon emissions fast enough to prevent catastrophic climate change?

Prof. Alexander R. Barron will present a new method he and colleagues have developed to calculate the necessary carbon price. Their work was recently published in the paper "A near-term to net zero alternative to the social cost of carbon for setting carbon prices," N. Kaufman, A. Barron, W. Krawczyk, P. Marsters and H. McJeon, Nature Climate Change. As the authors have written,

"This approach enables policymakers to use both climate science and economics to chart an effective, efficient pathway to net-zero emissions."

Dr. Barron is an Assistant Professor of Environmental Policy at Smith College. Before joining Smith, he worked in Congress to design comprehensive climate legislation (including the American Clean Energy and Security Act), and covered international climate negotiations. He also worked in the Office of Policy at the EPA, where he advised senior EPA leadership and worked on standards to reduce carbon pollution (e.g., the Clean Power Plan), cross-state air pollution, and mercury and other toxics. He also helped guide EPA’s work on environmental economics and climate adaptation.

The presentation will be followed by time for discussion.

Sponsored by the Ann Arbor and University of Michigan chapters of Citizens' Climate Lobby.

The 2020 Atlantic cyclone season shattered historical records for the number of tropical/subtropical storms in a single year and the highest number of storms since 1916 to make landfall. These storms are becoming stronger, more frequent, and with greater rainfall than ever before, leading to higher loss of life and economic damage. Like Earth, space is a place of potentially violent storms, transferring energy from the solar wind into disturbances in our planet's atmosphere and space environment. These storms have the potential to cause disruptions and failures of networked systems around the world.

In this discussion moderated by Eric Michielssen, hear from Tuija Pulkkinen and Chris Ruf about the coming global storms and what Michigan Engineering is doing to better help warn and protect people against their risks.

This is a zoom presentation.

Shaping Resource Flows | Buildings: A Climate Solution with Bruce King (March 12, 2021 1:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/82478 82478-21108091@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, March 12, 2021 1:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Civil and Environmental Engineering

Buildings: A Climate Solution tells the emerging story of architecture that heals the climate by storing more carbon than ever emitted: Building to cool the planet. Around the world, the theory and the practice of making “carbon smart” buildings is being developed by a rapidly expanding network of experts and innovators. Here we will explore the time value of carbon, low-carbon concrete and the new family of low-carbon building codes, and plant-based, carbon-storing materials, mapping an ambitious but practical pathway toward a built environment that has net zero operating emissions but also acts as a massive carbon sponge.

Bruce King is the author of “The New Carbon Architecture,” and has been a structural engineer for 40 years, designing buildings of every size and type all over the world. He is also author of the ASTM standard for earthen construction, the Marin County Low-Carbon Concrete code, and the books “Buildings of Earth and Straw,” “Making Better Concrete,” and “Design of Straw Bale Buildings.” Mr. King is also the Founder and Director of the Ecological Building Network (EBNet), a non-profit information resource that sponsors the BuildWell Source, an online library of low-carbon and carbon storing materials.

Anote's Ark - Film Screening and Panel Discussion (May 23, 2021 6:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/83540 83540-21409116@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Sunday, May 23, 2021 6:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Citizens Climate Lobby

In honor of Asian American Pacific Islander Heritage Month, the Ann Arbor chapter of Citizens' Climate Lobby (CCL), in partnership with the CCL Asian Pacific Action Team, are pleased to host a virtual screening of the award-winning films, Anote’s Ark and Love Note to an Island. We invite you to view the films in the comfort of your home, then participate in an online panel discussion with filmmaker, Lulu DeBoer, and returned Peace Corps volunteers who served in Kiribati, Brady Fergusson and Dr. Michael Roman.

For complete details on viewing the film and joining the panel discussion, click on the Eventbrite Registration link.

Optional: we invite our attendees to help support the people of Kiribati by making a donation to the Kiribati Climate Action Network (KiriCAN) through our GoFundMe: https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-a-submerging-island

About the films:

Anote’s Ark: The Pacific Island nation of Kiribati is one of the most remote places on the planet, seemingly far-removed from the pressures of modern life. Yet it is one of the first countries that must confront the existential dilemma of our time: imminent annihilation from sea-level rise. While Kiribati’s former President Anote Tong races to find a way to protect his nation’s people and maintain their dignity, many Kiribati are already seeking safe harbor overseas. Set against the backdrop of international climate and human rights negotiations, Anote’s struggle to save his nation is intertwined with the fate of Tiemeri, a young mother who fights to migrate her family to New Zealand. At stake is the survival of Tiemeri’s family, the Kiribati people, and 4,000 years of Kiribati culture.
Love Note to an Island: This moving short film by Lulu DeBoer shows her visiting her home island of Kiribati for the first time in over 20 years, only to find that climate change will soon wash it away. But instead of despair, the love and hope of the country spurs her on to find solutions to adapt

As a global community, we are facing an undeniable climate crisis that “unequivocally” has been caused by human activity. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change states that “every corner of the planet is already being affected and it could get far worse.” Armenia is no exception. This conference seeks to begin an interdisciplinary discussion inviting environmental scientists, geographers, policy experts, and activists to examine challenges posed by climate change and recurrent conflict, as well as present possible solutions through policy advocacy and local activism.

This three-day conference begins with a discussion of the environmental impact of war and violence, past and present, in the region of Nagorno-Karabakh moving to a broader discussion of the effects of the global climate crisis on Armenia’s land, water, and other natural resources. The participants will discuss the issues, challenges, and current policies that seek to mitigate the problems.

postcommodities... architecture after stuff (October 8, 2021 6:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/86945 86945-21637612@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, October 8, 2021 6:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: A. Alfred Taubman College of Architecture + Urban Planning

We have made too much stuff. The current production model of more, faster, cheaper - which makes what is culture today, product tomorrow, trash the next - has created a counterproductive muchness of simultaneous material excess and environmental precarity. This persistent materialism is contributing to social inequity and climate crisis alike and from material extraction to Pinterest boards to distribution centers, architecture is implicated at all scales of this material saturation.

Beginning from this moment of material reckoning, postcommodities… architecture after stuff argues that our resources should no longer come from the ground, but from the muchness we have already produced. The symposium foregrounds designers and thinkers who are proposing other-again-new modes of operating within this moment, those that present tactics, material ingenuities, and tools needed for a more future-minded and non-extractive material culture.

postcommodities… architecture after stuff explores the possibilities of architecture’s participation in a new socio-material ecology by focusing on reversible design, circular materials, commodity exchange networks, protocols of maintenance and commercial antagonisms, to set the questions:

Is there material after materialism?

What can architecture do with all this stuff?

The Donia Human Rights Center will follow state, local, and University of Michigan guidelines for in-person events.

In October of this year, the United Nations Human Rights Council recognized for the first time the human right to a safe, clean, healthy and sustainable environment. Why did the Council finally adopt this right? What effect will recognition have? How might the right contribute to the ongoing application of human rights to environmental issues such as climate change and the conservation of biodiversity?
