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:Ensuring That All Californians Have Access to Clean Transportation
DESCRIPTION:Register here\nHosted by our partners at the Coalition for Clean Air and featuring research from the Luskin Center for Innovation. \nAs California works to electrify passenger cars\, how do we ensure all Californians have access to clean transportation? While zero-emission cars reduce the long-term cost of ownership\, sticker shock discourages low-income consumers from ditching polluting\, gasoline-powered vehicles. \nCalifornia’s mobility equity program\, such as the Clean Cars 4 All program\, are important tools in addressing this challenge. Yet\, questions about the program’s effectiveness in serving disadvantaged communities and low-income residents have been raised. How much of this funding is going to disadvantaged communities? How do people sign up for the program\, or even learn about it? \nJoin us for a virtual webinar answering these questions and more. We will be talking with: \nEmilia Reyes\, CEO of the Fresno Economic Opportunities Commission\, on the need for an on-the-ground community outreach strategy and an intersectional strategy. \nGregory Pierce and Rachel Connolly\, UCLA Luskin Center for Innovation will present their recently published study on the Clean Cars 4 All program\, and how to make the program more equitable and effective in reaching disadvantaged communities. \nTransportation remains the leading source of climate-damaging and health-harming pollution. While California has committed itself to reducing greenhouse gas emissions\, improving air quality\, and deploying millions of electric vehicles over the next decade\, we must ensure clean transportation is accessible to all.

SUMMARY:SAFER: Needs Assessment Results
DESCRIPTION:Register Here.\nThis webinar will provide an opportunity for stakeholders to learn about the State Water Board’s Needs Assessment results. The State Water Board will provide an overview of the results of the Risk Assessment (public water systems\, state small water systems\, and domestic wells)\, Cost Assessment\, and Affordability Assessment. \nAGENDA \n\nOverview of Needs Assessment\nRisk Assessment Results\nPublic Water Systems\nState Small Water Systems and Domestic Wells\nCost Assessment Results\nAffordability Assessment Results\n\nThe focus of this webinar is to provide an overview of the Needs Assessment results. The State Water Board has been hosting public webinar workshops to provide opportunities for stakeholders to learn about and contribute to the development of the Needs Assessment methodologies. The Risk Assessment for public water systems identifies systems (starting with 3\,300 or less service connections) and K-12 schools that are at-risk of failing to provide adequate safe drinking water. The Risk Assessment for state small water systems and domestic wells identifies areas where systems and households may be accessing groundwater that does not meet primary drinking water standards (maximum contaminant level or MCL). The Cost Assessment results will estimate the costs related to the implementation of interim and longer-term solutions for systems on the Human Right to Water list and At-Risk systems. The Cost Assessment also includes the identification of available funding sources and the funding gaps that may exist to support these solutions. The Affordability Assessment will identify community water systems that serve disadvantaged communities that must charge their customers’ fees that exceed the affordability threshold established by the State Water Board in order to provide adequate safe drinking water.

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.
