SUMMARY:Webinar: CRISPS Project – Climate Resilient Sustainable Road Pavement Surfacing
DESCRIPTION:One or several simultaneous changes in climate\, e.g. hotter seasons\, more extreme precipitation events and sea-level rise could severely impinge on the road performance in Low-Income Countries (LICs). \nFailure to account for such impacts in future road design\, maintenance and operating planning and protocols\, could cause accelerated road deterioration and higher road use costs\, thereby severely constraining socio-economic development. \nTo address this\, the CRISPS multi-disciplinary research project will operate over 18 months under the leadership of the University of Birmingham (UoB) and in collaboration with the University of Auckland (UoA)\, the Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM) and the International Road Federation (IRF). \nThe research project aims to demonstrate the technical and economic suitability of three global best-practice road surfacing technologies for the range of traffic and environmental conditions of high volume roads that typically currently occur in LICs and those that are predicted to occur in the future.  The technologies evaluated are Modified Epoxy Chip Seals (MECS)\, Modified Epoxy Asphalt Surfaces (MEAS) and Fibre Mastic Asphalt (FMA) respectively. The technologies are a result of many years of research in New Zealand (MECS and MEAS) and Malaysia (FMA) where their in-situ performance has been demonstrated through trials and they are as a result routinely used in service. \nThis webinar will provide you with an overview of the project and there will be time for questions at the end of the session. \nAGENDA \n\nOpening & introductory remarks                     Dr Michael Burrow (UoB)\nThe HVT programme                                        Mr Bernard Obika (IMC Worldwide)\nOverview of the CRISPS project                        Dr Michael Burrow (UoB)\nData and deterioration modelling                    Dr Theuns Henning (UoA)\nField trials and implementation                        Dr Gurmel Ghataora (UoB)\nDissemination and Uptake                                Ms Susanna Zammataro (IRF)\n\n \n  \nTo participate\, please CLICK on the button below to register: \n CLICK TO REGISTER\n

SUMMARY:EVENT: Māori Worldviews\, Climate and Carbon Pathways
DESCRIPTION:Hear from the three Māori climate leaders\, Donna Awatere-Huata\, Johnnie Freeland\, and Matthew Tukaki as they share perspective on how holistic Māori worldview & aspirations for kaitiakitanga (environmental guardianship) can inform climate action and carbon zero pathways in Aotearoa (New Zealand). \nWater New Zealand is on a journey to address the challenges of climate change within the 3 water sectors. The Water New Zealand Climate Change Group has taken up the task to suggest a pathway to transform how our infrastructure is designed\, managed\, and operated to appropriately adapt\, mitigate and decarbonize our sector services. \nThe webinar is organized by the Water New Zealand’s Climate Change Group and The Sustainability Society (Engineering NZ) and created to start the conversation about how this can be done in a way that is aligned with the aspirations of Tangata Whenua\, Te Mana or Te Wai and Te Tiriti or Waitangi partnership agreements at local and national governance levels. \nFor more information about this webinar and its distinguished panellists\, click the link below. \nMāori Worldviews\, Climate and Carbon Pathways by the Sustainability Society \nREGISTER

SUMMARY:SEA LEVEL LAW: Case studies on council liabilities for sea-level rise
DESCRIPTION:Constant Change Seminar Series\nOne of the key trends in domestic and international climate litigation is in trying to establish who is liable for taking (or not taking) adaptation measures. \nThere have been at least 19 court challenges in Aotearoa to council decisions on adaptation to sea-level rise. Currently\, councils have a lot of leeway in their approaches to climate hazard risks\, including sea-level rise. Court action across the nation is testing the limits of council authority\, and showing up gaps in the legislative and policy environment. \nAnd even though leeway exists for councils\, some of their options will incur larger future liability costs than others. Further\, some councils –  at least some of those involved in making adaptation decisions – appear to be unaware of the extent of their possible liability. \nIn this seminar\, Catherine Iorns (Victoria University of Wellington) will take you through one aspect of her broad-ranging research into “Sea level rise\, housing and insurance: Liability and compensation”. \nREGISTER\n  \nAbout the Presenter: \nCatherine Iorns is a Professor of Law at Victoria University of Wellington. Her research interests focus on Environmental Law and Management while also covering Indigenous Rights and Statutory Interpretation.

SUMMARY:WEBINAR - Should I Stay or Should I Go now?
DESCRIPTION:The webinar highlights the importance of communication to prevent disasters and how effective communications can the impacts of disasters. \nIn this digital age where we get access to information and warnings instantaneously\, and as it unfolds\, sometimes these warnings can still fail to produce the necessary actions from the intended audience. Why is this so? \n​​​​​​For example\, the Covid-19 pandemic and all types of disasters\, early warning systems are only useful when it is communicated clearly and timely to communities that are at risk. As a result\, the target audience knows what actions to take and what decisions to make. \nAccording to the organisers of this webinar\, “Different government responses towards COVID-19 demonstrate that communicating risk\, clarity of roles and information\, and the inclusion of the full range of multi-disciplinary experts who understand people’s behavioural drivers in a crisis and their social settings is critical in designing and implementing effective risk communication frameworks.” \nThe webinar features the following speakers: \n\nFormer New Zealand Prime Minister Helen Clark\nBapon Fakhruddin\, PhD Technical Director of DRR and Climate Resilience\, Tonkin & Taylor\nLisa Robinson\, Head of Advisory\, BBC Media Action\nLoretta Hieber-Girardet\, Chief of Regional Office for Asia and the Pacific UN Office for DRR\n\nFor more information about the webinar and to register\, click the link below: \nSHOULD I STAY OR SHOULD I GO NOW? \n

SUMMARY:Climate Risk Week 2020 - A Virtual Event by The Economist Magazine
DESCRIPTION:Measuring\, managing and mitigating the threat from climate change\nA 5-day Virtual Event hosted by The Economist Magazine. The Climate Risk Insight Hour webinar will launch this event. \nThe Economist’s Climate Risk Week will take place from October 12th – 16th and will convene business leaders\, investors\, academics\, and policymakers to discuss the physical and transition risks posed by climate change. \nOverview\nClimate change will reshape every aspect of the global economy\, from politics to migration\, financing to supply chains. Markets are demanding greater transparency on the climate risks that firms face. So\, too\, are regulators: in 2019 the Bank of England announced plans for climate stress tests for banks. Such demands will only increase. \nOver five days\, The Economist will ask what role governments and central banks should play in embedding climate-change data into financial decision-making. How can companies overcome the first-mover disadvantage associated with publishing their risk exposures? Does technology reinvent the rules of risk management? And how can the public and private sectors work together to combat what has become the greatest risk of all? \nSome of the topics that will be covered:\n\nThe big restart: lessons in resilience\nClimate Risk and the view from global investors\nThe road to COP26\nClimate risk and investors\, insurance and banking.\n\nFor more information and registration\, visit the website.\nRegistration and Pricing \nWeek Pass – Earlybird Rate – Expires July 17th >> £299 (ex.VAT) (saving 25% off the standard rate)\nDay Pass – Earlybird Rate – Expires July 17th >> £149 (ex.VAT) (saving 25% off the standard price) \nNew for 2020 \nAfter the success of its inaugural summit in 2019\, Climate Risk Week will feature critical global insights from industry leaders on how to better measure\, manage\, mitigate and report climate-related risks. \nThe program will explore the unique opportunity which the pandemic has provided to governments and businesses to speed up the transition to a low carbon economy. We explore the role of climate-related data and the new road to COP26. \nNote: All the registered attendees are eligible for CPD attendance certificate\, which will be issued after the event. Please contact The Economist’s customer services team for a certificate request. \n

SUMMARY:Sustainability Week 2020 Virtual Event
DESCRIPTION:10 hours of curated content over 5 days. \nThe event is the industries’ response to the current global climate crises highlighted during the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting in Davos in January 2020. \n“From scorched landscapes to melting ice caps and polluted oceans\, the impacts of climate change are clear and immediate. Yet despite the warning signs\, progress to limit global warming remains slow and inadequate. Now\, as the world grapples with the disruption of COVID-19—a crisis that at once threatens climate action and reinforces the need for collective efforts—businesses and governments realise that they can’t simply return to normal. But can this disruption spur affirmative action? \nThe Economist’s Sustainability Week will bring together industry leaders\, policymakers\, entrepreneurs and researchers to assess what businesses in particular—but also governments and NGOs—can do to rise to the challenge. How can solutions be scaled up to meet internationally agreed goals? Can the disruption of COVID-19 accelerate progress? How can we scale solutions\, alter behaviours and collaborate better?” \nThis event is an opportunity to hear from leading voices on the issue of sustainability\, without increasing your carbon footprint. \nFeaturing the following speakers:\n\nAlan Jope\, Unilever\, Chief Executive\nDouglas Lamont\, Innocent Drinks\, CE\nAngel Gurria\, OECD\, Secretary-General\nVirginie Helias\, Procter & Gamble\, Chief sustainability officer\nHoesung Lee\, IPCC\, Chair\nGail Bradbrook\, Extinction Rebellion\, Co-founder\nVanessa Wright\, Pernod Ricard\, Group VP\, sustainability and responsibility\nAnn Tracy\, Colgate-Palmolive\, Chief sustainability officer\nand many others.\n\nTo register\, click this link ⇒ SUSTAINABILITY WEEK 2020 \nApplications to attend the roundtable are subject to approval by The Economist Events. \nWho should attend?\n\nSenior sustainability and CSR professionals – all industries\nImpact investors / responsible investors\nCharities and organisations with interest in sustainability issues\nSustainability academics\, e.g. researchers and professors\nGovernment bodies/departments who focus on the environment\n\nFor further information on this virtual event\, click this website.

SUMMARY:New Zealand Coastal Society Webinar Series
DESCRIPTION:A Webinar Series that the New Zealand Coastal Society (NZCS) is holding. They have collated a range of exciting presentation topics covering contemporary New Zealand coastal issues like Storm Surge and Climate Change\, through the use of new technologies in localised coastal zone monitoring. \nTalk one: Storm surge and Wave Climate projections (2020-2100) for Aotearoa New Zealand. \nA collaborative project by the University of Auckland with the University of Cantabria has generated a nationwide set of projections of nearshore wave and storm surge conditions. The projections look at the next 80 years are obtained using an innovative “multi-model” approach\, which combines dynamical modelling and statistical downscaling.  IPCC emission scenarios and associated climate properties are used to drive these predictions of future wave and surge processes. \nTalk two: Composite modelling: Experiments and CFD combined for better design insights on coastal structures. \nThe design of coastal structures continues to rely heavily on physical experiments\, either compiled into widely-used semi-empirical formulations or to produce ad hoc formulations for non-conventional structures. Numerical modelling\, having been under development for some decades now\, has the potential to disrupt the design methodology in coastal engineering by providing detailed insights\, additional data impossible to measure in the laboratory or by informing about scale effects. The most significant benefits can be obtained when applying composite modelling\, i.e. physical and numerical modelling working together in a complementary way. \nEach month the NZCS will present an hour-long free webinar that you can register\, so keep an eye on it. \nFor further details about this Webinar Series\, please click on this link: New Zealand Coastal Society Webinar Series. \nTo register online\, CLICK on this link: NZCS 2020 Webinar Series Registration. \n

SUMMARY:45th Annual Natural Hazards Research and Applications Workshops
DESCRIPTION:This workshop will be held VIRTUALLY this year. \nAbout the Workshop\nSince 1975\, the Natural Hazards Center has hosted the Annual Natural Hazards Research and Applications Workshop in Colorado. Today the workshop brings together federal\, state\, and local mitigation and emergency management officials and planning professionals; representatives of nonprofit\, private sector\, and humanitarian organizations; hazards and disaster researchers; and others dedicated to alleviating the impacts of disasters. \nThis year’s theme: Active Hope in an Era of Environmental Extremes \nThe past year has brought record-shattering disasters that cause great harm and suffering from massive storms to catastrophic wildfires.  Millions that are affected are already at the margins of society.  COVID-19 has added to the misery\, killing thousands of people globally. And with climate change\, these environmental extremes will increase in frequency and severity. \nHow can we maintain hope in this era of environmental extremes? Can our community set an agenda for a resilient future\, even while so many are stuck in seemingly endless cycles of disaster loss and disruption? \nThese questions and many other pressing issues will be answered in this workshop by looking at the lens of active hope. Active hope is about recognizing our present conditions and establishing what we desire for ourselves\, our communities\, and the organizations where we work. \nFor further details\, click on this link: 45th Annual Natural Hazards Research and Applications Workshop. \nRegistration is now open.

SUMMARY:The post-covid sustainability agenda: revolution\, retreat or return to normal
DESCRIPTION:Covid-19 has suspended business and caused a hiatus in the human activity which has brought a lot of good to the environment: toxic air pollutants fell\, Venice’s canals are cleaner\, increased activity in wildlife as never been seen in a long time. \nIt gave humans a sharpened awareness for the potentials of catastrophe if global warming persists at the current levels. Business leaders should understand that sustainability is more than just good ethics but a key to a resilient business model. Can the recent disruption spur positive action? \nAxel WeberPatrick Foulis\n  \nAs an edition of The Economist Sustainability Week Insight hour series\, this one-hour online event features the UBS Group chairman\, Axel Weber and The Economist’s business affairs editor\, Patrick Foulis to discuss: \n\nHow the response to COVID-19 could be a call to action on climate change\nHow to keep climate change at the top of the global agenda post-pandemic\nHow the pandemic will affect sustainable investing in the longer term\nWhy banks should lead in the fight against climate change—and what will happen if they don’t\n\nFor further information\, CLICK on this link: Sustainability Week Insight Hour July 7th\, 2020  \nTo sign up for this free online event\, click this link.

SUMMARY:1st Asia Pacific Conference on SDEWES\, Gold Coast 2020
DESCRIPTION: \n\n\n\nYou are invited to the 1st Asia Pacific Conference on Sustainable Development of Energy\, Water and Environment Systems\n\n\n\nFurther details about the conference are published on the web site. \n\n\n\nTo browse the conference website\, please CLICK on this link: 1st Asia Pacific SDEWES Gold Coast 2020 \n\n\n\nRead the details on their “Call for Papers” by clicking on this link:  Call for Papers – 1st Asia Pacific SDEWES \n\n\n\nBackground:\n\n\n\nAs further background on the conference\, we have quoted from the invitation email the paragraphs below: \n\n\n\n\n\n\nEncouraged by the success of the conference series on Sustainable Development of Energy Water and Environment Systems (SDEWES) we are glad to inform you that starting from 2020 a regional biannual series targeting the Asia Pacific region (AP SDEWES conferences) have been initiated\, with first conference to be held in Gold Coast\, Australia in 2020. Can engineering solutions mitigate the climate change before we need to adapt? How can we build low carbon energy systems? How can we integrate water\, energy\, transport\, waste and food systems so that we decouple development from growing use of resources? What are the societal and economic challenges before implementing clearly beneficial engineering solutions? What is the role of sustainable cities and regions?These and many other questions are being asked and answered by researchers participating in the Conference on Sustainable Development of Energy\, Water and Environment Systems (SDEWES Conference)\, an event devoted to scientists\, engineers\, policy makers\, students and other interested parties in the field of sustainable development. The first six SDEWES Conferences were held in Dubrovnik\, later being also held in Ohrid\, on a Mediterranean cruiser between Venice and Istanbul\, Lisbon\, Piran\, Palermo\, Rio de Janeiro\, Novi Sad and every odd year again in Dubrovnik.
