SUMMARY:Webinar on new\, national Shade Map
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a webinar introducing and demonstrating the newly launched Shade Map\, now available through American Forests’ Tree Equity Score platform. This mapping tool shows where shade exists — and where it doesn’t — in 101 of the largest urbanized areas in the United States\, covering more than 360 cities and towns. The webinar will include a live demonstration of the shade mapping feature\, the Tree Equity Score Analyzer\, and data stories from Austin\, Detroit\, and Phoenix. \nWhy attend: Learn how this data is essential for your heat planning\, policy\, and advocacy work. \nWhen: Thursday\, June 5\, 2025\, at 12:00 PM Pacific Time \nWhere: Register here to receive the Zoom link to attend. \nPresented by: UCLA Luskin Center for Innovation and American Forests\, with funding from Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. \nAbout the Tree Equity Score Shade Map  \nWe are excited to publicly launch our products on June 2\, 2025. UCLA’s state-of-the-art shade data is available as a mapped feature in American Forests’ Tree Equity Score for 360+ cities in the U.S. Discover how much shade is available by Census block group at three different times of the day\, and see what share of shade is cast by trees versus buildings. We also added high-resolution shade data to three Tree Equity Score Analyzers — a local mapping tool that allows parcel-level exploration for certain cities. Now\, for these three areas — Austin\, TX; Detroit\, MI; and Maricopa County\, AZ — users can view shade at the parcel level. It allows users in these three locations to plan to improve shade equity by exploring tree equity data\, assessing shade distribution\, developing scenarios\, and measuring the impacts of trees at a parcel level. For Austin\, Detroit\, and Phoenix\, our data stories take a deep dive into shade. We explored the role of shade in heat equity planning in three immersive stories as examples of how the tool can be useful.

SUMMARY:Urban Water Conservation in a Drought
DESCRIPTION:Register\nHosted by the UCLA Water Resources Group. \nDuring the last drought (2011 -2017)\, California had to manage through emergency regulation which includes conservation mandates. Since then\, new legislation was signed to “Make Conservation a Way of Life” for all water users\, improving the efficiency of water use\, and using less of it permanently. \nThe 2020-2021 California Drought Monitor Map above shows California is in exceptional drought\, due to low precipitation\, record breaking high temperatures\, little snow\, high evaporation and prior droughts. \nWe have brought together a great panel of experts to discuss: \n\nHow has urban water conservation evolved since the 2018 Water Conservation Legislation passed?\nWhat are we doing differently now from the last drought?\nWhat do we need to know about water use and water users to become more prepared for longer and/or more extreme droughts?\nWhat can water experts contribute to make Conservation a Way of Life?\nHow do the burdens and benefits of conservation fall? Fairly\, or not?\n\n\nOUR PANEL: \nSonali Abraham\, Research Associate\, The Pacific Institute. \nUCLA Institute of the Environment and Sustainability D. Env. \nEduardo De La Riva\, Maywood City Council Member \nErik Porse\, Research Engineer in the Office of Water Programs\, CSU Sacramento\, \nAssistant Adjunct Professor at UCLA’s Institute of the Environment and Sustainability \nTracy Quinn\, Director\, NRDC California Urban Water Policy\, Healthy People & Thriving Communities Program; \nMember\, Metropolitan Water District of Southern California \nPanel Moderator \nMadelyn Glickfeld\, Co-Director\, UCLA Water Resources Center

SUMMARY:The National Security Imperative for Climate Action
DESCRIPTION:Watch the recorded session here.\nView and download the presentation slides here.\nThe idea that a warming planet threatens stability around the globe is not new. But now we have a critical window to rapidly reduce climate pollution and build resiliency\, if we are to avert climate catastrophes. Understanding the impacts of climate change on conflicts between and within nations\, as well as the impacts on U.S. military infrastructure and operations\, is critical to inform climate mitigation and adaptation action. Join this conversation with U.S. government and academic leaders to explore why and how new national and foreign policy is needed to ensure a more sustainable future. \n  \nPARTICIPANTS \n\nKate Guy\, Senior Research Fellow\, The Center for Climate & Security (moderator)\nWilliam J.

SUMMARY:Climate Adaptation Research Symposium 2020: Measuring and Addressing Societal Impacts
DESCRIPTION:View recordings from the symposium\nJoin us at this first-of-its-kind\, national symposium! The event will feature social science research that measures the scale and scope of climate impacts\, as well as how to address those impacts through adaptive markets\, public policies\, and planning. Learn more on the event webpage.\n\n\nAs global temperatures rise\, climate change is causing far-reaching impacts. Communities continue to experience extreme heat waves\, destructive wildfires\, and devastating floods and storms. Vulnerable and low-income populations feel these impacts the most. \nClimate change presents an unprecedented threat—however\, researchers are making progress to estimate the impacts of climate change on many aspects of society—health\, safety\, and wellbeing; migration; economic outputs and productivity—and to offer potential solutions. This arena of research offers a path forward to creating resilient communities and a society that can respond to rapidly changing environmental conditions. \nThis full-day symposium will highlight recent research measuring the impacts of climate change\, particularly on vulnerable populations and communities. The event will also include a parallel focus on strategies to address these impacts. It will foster cross-disciplinary dialogue between researchers and ultimately serve to improve our collective understanding of the climate adaptation research landscape; existing gaps; and how researchers can assist in informing adaptation and resiliency policies that are urgently needed. \nThe UCLA Luskin Center for Innovation acknowledges the Gabrielino/Tongva peoples as the traditional land caretakers of the Los Angeles basin and UCLA is grateful to be in service to the indigenous peoples of this area. \nThank you to our event sponsors\n \nThank you to our event partners
