Environment Webinars

Young people have brought energy, new visions for the future, and renewed hope to the movement for climate justice. These Gen Z and Millennial leaders are championing concrete actions, bringing new legislation to the United States and across the globe, and demanding their rightful places at policy tables worldwide.What do the youngest generations of climate justice leaders need to reach their goals? How can funders, nonprofit leaders, philanthropists, and others support the successful climate actions of youth?In this free webinar, moderated by NPQ, youth climate leaders and writers from Nonprofit Quarterly Magazine’s exclusive fall issue “Supporting the Youth Climate Justice Movement” will discuss what’s urgent for real climate justice action, and how older generations in the field can help.Moderator:Alison Stine, Climate Justice Senior Editor, NPQPanelists:Senowa Mize-Fox, National Committee for Responsive PhilanthropyYasmina Benslimane, Founder of Politics4HerGabby Treadwell, Black Liberation Collective

The Chemicals, Oils, and Gas (COG) industries are known globally for their energy-intensive processes involved in obtaining desired products. With mounting pressure to enhance efficiency and reduce greenhouse gas emissions, these industries must focus on energy conservation measures. Induction motors, being the most energy-intensive equipment in COG operations, consume 45-50% of the total electricity, with even higher percentages for specific industry processes.Given the significant energy consumption by high voltage motors worldwide, it is critical to design motors for optimum efficiency and a lower CO2 footprint. However, the industry faces significant challenges, particularly related to motor oversizing, leading to reduced efficiency and increased CO2 emissions.This upcoming webinar aims to address the key factors concerning motor oversizing and discuss how motors can be designed for specific applications to achieve optimal efficiency and significantly reduce the CO2 footprint. Participants will gain valuable insights from the perspective of motor manufacturers, understanding how motors are tailored to meet the requirements of driven equipment manufacturers while adhering to essential industry specifications.With COG industries under heightened scrutiny to minimize their CO2 footprint and improve energy consumption, attending this webinar will provide crucial knowledge and potential solutions to enhance the performance of high voltage motors while promoting sustainability.Key Learning ObjectivesConstruction of low inrush current motorImplications on motor design due to starting current and other starting criteriaImpact on motor performance due to starting criteria restrictions and CO2 footprintHow to optimise the DOL HV motors design

In recent years, sustainability has become a major focus across various industries and sectors, as businesses and individuals recognise the importance of preserving our planet’s resources for future generations. IEMA (the Institute for Environmental Management and Assessment) is the global professional body for over 21,000 individuals and 300 organisations working, studying or interested in the environment and sustainability.Climate change and our biodiversity crisis is affecting every country across the globe, and we therefore need to work collectively to drive change and live more sustainably for future generations. We want to make green skills mainstream. To reach a future green economy, we need to support individuals at all stages of their career, to harness enthusiasm for protecting the environment, upskill in new technologies and bring green knowledge into every role.Martin Baxter, Deputy CEO and Rebecca Turner, Career Pathways Manager, from IEMA, will be presenting this session to CDI members on Wednesday 26th June at 3pm. The agenda will cover:An introduction to IEMAThe green agenda and UK landscapeDelving into green skills and jobsResources available on the Green Careers HubHow can we support you?Q&A

The California Air Resources Board (CARB) will review proposed amendments to the Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS) in November, with changes expected to take effect at the beginning of 2025. The amendments will implement more stringent carbon intensity reductions by 2030, extend the carbon intensity reduction requirements to 2045, and change the way many low carbon fuels are regulated in the program. The proposed changes aim to align the LCFS program more closely with the 2022 Scoping Plan Update.Join our experts for a webinar where we’ll break down these fast-approaching changes around LCFS and provide actionable insights so businesses can prepare. You’ll hear more on:• What these proposed changes to the LCFS entail.• How the proposed LCFS updates are expected to impact credit pricing, market dynamics, and compliance strategies.• How changes in California’s LCFS will impact other low carbon fuel markets.Presenters: Mike McCurdy, P.E. - Managing Director, Energy Advisory Services; Philip Sheehy - Sr. Director; Zach Schofield - Sr. Analyst; Daniel Jackson - Analyst.

The opportunities presented by eDNA as an innovative monitoring tool for aquatic ecosystems are immense. These techniques offer high detection sensitivities and the ability to monitor at scales previously unachievable. However, the data outputs from eDNA surveys are slightly different to traditional monitoring and so we need to think slightly differently about how we design surveys and how to interpret the data. In this webinar we will help illustrate various sampling strategies to achieve specific goals in aquatic biodiversity and species monitoring.Led by EnviroDNA speaker Senior Program Manager & Wildlife Ecologist, Josh Griffiths. At EnviroDNA, Josh designs and executes strategic eDNA surveys and is known for his ability to analyse, interpret and communicate data for clients.Duration: 1 hour (including Q&A)Participants will gain insights into:Biodiversity monitoring at a catchment/subcatchment scaleTracking changes over time using occupancy models and statistical analysisAssessing local responses to management interventionsExploring case studies and opportunity for Q&AWhether you are new to eDNA or already implementing these tools, this session is valuable for anyone involved in aquatic monitoring and management.Speaker: Josh Griffiths, Program Manager - Aquatic and Field Ecology.
