Climate Change Webinars

Are you concerned about the impacts of climate change on migration? Do you want to understand how environmental crises are reshaping global and Canadian migration patterns?If so, join our webinar on "Understanding Climate-Induced Migration: Canadian and Global Perspectives" hosted by the WUSC VCP Alumni Ambassador Committee. This virtual session is scheduled for Friday, June 14 at 12 PM EST.During the webinar, you'll have the opportunity to hear from experts who will share their insights on the scientific and humanitarian aspects of climate-induced migration. Additionally, a testimonial from an individual personally affected by climate displacement will provide a unique perspective on the real-world impacts of these crises.Register now to deepen your understanding and learn how you can contribute to the solution!

Presented by Dr. Aliyar Fouladkhah Bacterial pathogens have unique and efficient capabilities for moving towards diversity and fitness through various mechanisms such as vertical and horizontal gene transfer mechanisms and quorum sensing. Expansion in global travel and commerce, changes in production and processing of commodities, consumers' demand for minimally process products, and growth of the at-risk portion of populations are breeding grounds for novel, emerging, and re-emerging bacterial infectious diseases. Global warming due to the anthropogenic emission of greenhouse gases is further fueling these national and global challenges, as minor changes in environmental temperature have pronounced and appreciable effects on bacterial fate and proliferation. Current presentation will discuss impact of climate changes in various regions of the world and further articulates the expected changes associated with public health microbiology, water safety, and microbial food safety, food security.

This webinar focuses on the integration and alignment of circular economy plans and policies with climate strategies, specifically in the context of adaptation and mitigation. Its main objective is to explore and examine how cities and regions can effectively connect their efforts in these areas at the local, regional and national level.The webinar is open to anyone but is likely to be most useful for cities, regions and territorial clusters that are working to develop circular economy plans in line with climate strategies. Registration is mandatory.This webinar will provide actionable insights from cities, regions and Associated Partners, Ellen MacArthur Foundation and ICLEI, that have already delved into the practical implementation of synergies between climate strategies and circular economy policies.Agenda:10:00-10:05 Opening and welcome10:05-10:25 Incorporating circular economy in climate action plans10:25-11:05 Bridging circular economy and climate: a panel on actionable insights from cities and regions11:05-11:25 Q&A with participating Pilots and Fellows11:25-11:30 Closing remarksSpeakers: Ellen MacArthur, ICLEI representatives

A Conversation with Dan Egan: Join Dan Egan, Pulitzer Prize-nominated author of The Devil's Element: Phosphorus and a World Out of Balance and The Death and Life of the Great Lakes, for a conversation about the role of phosphorus in our daily lives, how it impacts our environment, and its role in shaping agriculture.

Poor recreational water quality poses a risk of acute gastrointestinal illness (AGI) to beach goers engaging in water activities. In this webinar, we will discuss the environmental factors influencing beach water quality in Canada and present key findings of the project. The speakers, Dr. Johanna Sanchez and Dr. Binyam Desta, will share their research on enteric infections and the effect on health outcomes, with a focus on water, hygiene, and sanitation. Join us to gain a greater understanding of the factors affecting water quality and how they can assist in timely decision-making and risk communication strategies to reduce recreational water illness risks among beachgoers.

Join us on January 31, 2024 from 10:00 - 11:30 am PST for a webinar on strategies for accessing funding under EPA's Climate Pollution Reduction Grants (CPRG) Program, qualifying for funding, and getting involved in local climate action plans. This event is hosted by California Resource Recovery Association, Californians Against Waste, California Product Stewardship Council, and Zero Waste USA. The CPR Campaign is a joint effort of the Institute for Local Self-Reliance, Zero Waste USA, and the National Recycling Coalition to uplift waste reduction and materials conservation projects under the EPA’s Climate Pollution Reduction (CPR) Grants Program. A zero-waste framework embedding waste prevention, reuse, recycling, and composting strategies rooted in and serving local communities will protect the climate while enhancing social equity, economic opportunities, food systems resilience, and quality of life. Speakers: Scott Beckner Senior Environmental Scientist, CalRecycle Katherine Blauvelt Circular Economy Campaign Director, Industrious Labs Kinley Deller Program Project Manager, King County Moderated by: Leslie Lukacs Executive Director, Zero Waste Sonoma

This webinar marks the launch of the National Trust's new report "Climate for Change: Adapting the National Trust."

Join us online for an insightful session with SFU's Jonathan Moore, where we'll explore how climate change impacts salmon watersheds.

Access to climate finance is essential for a just and peaceful transition. Of countries most vulnerable to climate change, more than half are also impacted by conflict. Research shows that a very small percentage of climate finance are reaching those conflict affected and fragile states. Even within fragile states, climate finance is more likely to be spent in less fragile areas and often does not reach marginalised groups. Climate finance offers opportunities to increase resilience, reverse environmental decline and build peace. However for climate finance to support peace, it must be sufficient, reach fragile and conflict-affected states and fund projects that are conflict-sensitive and peace-positive. At the moment, it does not. Barriers such as donor risk appetite, state capacity, project compliance and bureaucratic process hinder progress in this space. While there is an increasing awareness within multilateral development banks, climate funds and national governments of these challenges, they are often approached as novel. Yet much can be learnt from the experience of the peacebuilding and development community about managing risk and designing and implementing projects in fragile settings. This panel seeks to discuss what climate funds can learn from development and peacebuilding communities as well as how they can better work together in conflict and fragile affected states to deliver effective climate finance.
