SUMMARY:ITRC CONFERENCE: Preparing People for Climate Change in California
DESCRIPTION:Preparing People for Climate Change in California\nConference For Social Service\, Climate\, Social Justice\, Faith & Other Community Leaders on Building Individual and Collective Human Resilience for Climate Traumas \n\n\n\n\n\nWhen:   Wednesday-Thursday\,  January 24-25\, 2018\nWhere:  The California Endowment’s Oakland Conference Center\, in Downton Oakland\, CA.\nEarly-Bird Discount Registration Rate Ends November 15\, 2017!\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTo Register Click Here \nThe conference is sponsored by the International Transformational Resilience Coalition (ITRC)\, a network of over 250 mental health\, resilience\, climate\, faith\, disaster response\, and other leaders working to prevent harmful psychological and psycho-social-spiritual reactions to climate impacts and use them as transformational catalysts to increase human & ecological wellbeing.  \nOur Conference Founding Co-Sponsors Include:   \n \nWhy Should Californians Attend This Unique Conference? \nFrom high levels of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs)\, to job and financial struggles\, racism and other forms of inequity and injustice\, traumatic stress is epidemic today. Climate change is aggravating all of these existing adversities\, and adding many new ones as well. Yet\, California is leading the U.S. in finding innovative new ways to address personal\, family\, and community traumas–and on reducing carbon emissions. This conference will show how\, by breaking down silos and connecting these issues\, California can also lead the nation in building widespread levels of individual and psycho-social-spiritual resilience that prevents harmful human reactions to the hardships generated by rising temperatures while advancing social equity and motivating people to reduce carbon emissions. \nHere is the challenge: \nEven with aggresive emission reductions\, global temperatures will rise by 2.7 degrees Fahrenheit (1.5C) above pre-industrial levels\, possibly within just 9-10 years\, and by 3.6 degrees (2C) or higher afterwards. Humanity is entering an era of dramatic changes in the earth’s climate and ecological systems that for decades will produce gut-wrenching shocks and stresses for people until successful emission cuts bring temperatures back down to safe levels again. \nThe U.N. Inter-Agency Standing Committee states that mental health\, psychosocial\, and humanitarian crisis are often closely connected. Yet\, almost no attention has been given to preparing people in California for the individual psychological and collective psycho-social-spiritual impacts of climate change. \nMany individuals and groups statewide are consequently unprepared for the challenges that lie ahead. Many are also unaware of how climate adversities can be used as transformational catalysts to bring people together across racial\, ethnic\, religious\, geographic\, and economic lines to build widesperead levels of individual and collective resilience that create tangibly better conditions for everyone while advancing social equity and justice and making the changes needed to reduce the climate crisis to manageable levels. \nThis conference will directly address these risks and opportunities by explaining: \n\nWhy climate change is the ultimate social determinant of mental and physical health and how\, left unaddressed\, the disasters and chronic toxic stresses generated by climate change will produce rising psychological problems including deblilitating anxiety\, depression\, PTSD\, and suicides\, as well as psycho-social-spiritual maladies such as hopelessness\, child and spousal abuse\, crime\, we vs them hatred\, and interpersonal violence that threaten the safety\, health\, and wellbeing of everyone.\n\n\nHow these harmful human reactions also threaten to staff efforts to cut carbon emissions and delay efforts to reduce global temperatures to manageable levels.\n\n\nHow building widespread levels of personal and collective resilience can minimize the harmful human reactions to climate impacts by creating a trauma-informed and skilled populace and bring people together to engage in actions that greatly enhance personal\, social\, and ecological wellbeing.\n\nThe conference will achieve these goals by: \n\nOffering a diverse array of informative presentations and workshops by leading experts who will describe preventative skills\, tool\, and policies that can be applied at the individual\, family\, organizational\, and community levels to build personal and psycho-social-spiritual resilience.\n\n\nProviding an opportunity to meet and network with people from the non-profit\, public\, and private sectors and civil society from throughout California and elsewhere working on similar issues.\n\n\nFacilitating the development of action plans attendees can use to expand existing or launch new initiatives to grow a powerful human resilience building movement in California.\n\nCalifornia can lead the way again! \nMany states are following California’s lead on reducing greenhouse gases. It also has some of the leading programs focused on preventing ACEs\, advancing social equity\, and addressing other injustices and adversities. This conference will show how by linking these efforts\, California can build a powerful human resilience-building movement that prevents harmful reactions to climate-enhanced traumas and stresses and many other adversities\, while advancing social equity and reducing carbon emissions. \nClick here to see the conference agenda

SUMMARY:CCRN WEBINAR: Balancing social justice and conservation concerns in an era of expanded protected area targets
DESCRIPTION:The Community Conservation Research Network (CCRN) presents the 8th webinar in its 2017 series\, titled: Balancing Social Justice and Conservation in an Era of Expanded Protected Area Targets. Dr. Merle Sowman from the Department of Environmental and Geographical Science at the University of Cape Town is the presenter. \nMonday\, September 25th\, 2017 at 11 am Eastern Daylight Time (8 am PDT; 12 noon ADT; 3 pm UTC)  \nRegister here.  \n \nMarine Protected Areas (MPAs) are increasingly recognised across the world as an important strategy for protecting marine resources\, conserving biodiversity\, rebuilding threatened fish stocks and restoring degraded habitats. The value of MPAs has been discussed at various global gatherings such as the World Summit on Sustainable Development in 2002 and the Fifth World Parks Congress in Durban in  South Africa in 2003\, as well as various Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) meetings. Furthermore\, several conservation and fisheries development agencies have also called for action to speed up the process of marine protection and have encouraged governments to establish MPAs and MPA networks. Various conventions\, protocols and agreements\, all recognise the importance of the conservation of coastal and marine resources and areas\, but they also highlight the need to take account of the socio-economic and cultural rights and interests of local communities living in and adjacent to such areas. Governments are faced with calls to expand MPAs and establish a representative network of MPAs but also to address the potential impacts of MPA’s\, on rights\, livelihoods and social wellbeing of coastal communities. This webinar explores the tensions between efforts to manage existing and extend protected areas and requirements to respect rights and livelihoods of local communities living in and adjacent to such areas. It draws on cases from South Africa to illustrate some of the tensions and challenges on the ground and explores possible shifts – in thinking\, values and approaches – required to move towards an approach to marine conservation that embraces social justice principles. \nTo view other upcoming CCRN webinars\, click here.

SUMMARY:SAGE WEBINAR: Sustainable Shorescapes - Using Natural and Created Marshes to Preserve Coastal Resilience
DESCRIPTION:Join SAGE (Systems Approach to Geomorphic Engineering) on September 21st (1:00 pm EDT) for a free webinar. Sustainable shorescapes: using natural and created marshes to preserve coastal resilience will be presented by Donna Marie Bilkovic\, Research Associate Professor of Marine Science\, Center for Coastal Resources Management\, Virginia Institute of Marine Science. \nRegister here. \nGlobally\, shoreline protection approaches are evolving towards the use of marsh vegetation and other natural and nature-based features (living shorelines henceforth)\, as a preferred alternative to shoreline armoring. \nSAGE proposes a conceptual framework delineating theoretical differences in living shoreline salt marshes from natural marshes in order to identify research priorities and engineering challenges to improve the capacity of these created habitats.  Prominent differences influencing ecosystem development and coastal resilience include (1) differences in the plant communities\, (2) the use of coarse sand material\, (3) the uniform topography\, vegetation\, and edge characteristics\, and (4) impacts of novel habitat introduction.  Some of these differences may change over time and some may be lessened with design modifications. In addition\, faunal interactions with saltmarshes vary in created and natural marshes. We present new findings of a living shoreline salt marsh ecosystem\, focusing on the predominant marsh bivalve\, Geukensia demissa (ribbed mussel).  Positive interactions occur between Geukensia demissa and Spartina alterniflora (cordgrass) facilitating many ecosystem services. \nGains in high-functioning marsh acreage through the use of living shoreline strategies may help offset projected loss of existing salt marshes to erosion\, sea level rise\, and development. The scope and success of living shoreline projects can be enhanced by collaborating with scientists\, managers\, engineers\, and landowners\, as well as by gaining a better understanding of the elements driving shoreline management decision. Moving living shoreline science forward as a cross-disciplinary study will maximize benefits to both the human and natural systems\, promoting coastal areas which are truly resilient into the next century.

The Viewer has undergone subsequent updates over the past five years\, but the recent 2017 update is the most significant to date. Among other features\, the Viewer incorporates NOAA’s newly released sea level rise projections that will be used for the 4th National Climate Assessment. \nDoug’s talk will briefly review historical sea level rise and current trends globally and locally\, as well as future projections\, uncertainty in projections\, and deterministic versus probabilistic approaches. Doug will also speak about total water levels\, nuisance flooding\, and what cities are currently doing to address these issues. His presentation will conclude with a brief demo of the new features in NOAA’s Sea Level Rise Viewer. There will be ample time for discussion as a group as well. \nDoug Marcy is a Coastal Hazards Specialist at the NOAA Office for Coastal Management in the Science and Geospatial Division. He has been with NOAA for 15 years working on flood and sea level mapping projects\, storm surge assessments\, and coastal hazards assessment projects. Doug has been the project manager for the SLR Viewer since its inception. Before that\, Doug was a hydraulic engineer with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers\, and a NOAA Coastal Management Fellow with the South Carolina coastal management program. He holds a Bachelor of Science in Geology\, and a Master of Science in Coastal Geology. \n \nIf you have any questions\, please contact Jenna Judge (jenna.judge@noaa.gov).
