SUMMARY:IoES/Luskin Research Seminar: Miriam Golden
DESCRIPTION:“Climate Change\, Public Health andViolence in Arctic Canada”Exploiting the differential impact of climate change on the\n25 Inuit villages in the territory of Nunavut\, Canada whose location spans a\nnorth-south distance of 3\,000 kilometers allows a natural experiment of\nthe effects of changes in the ice melt on human communities. Using data from\nquarterly police incident reports from 2005 to 2009 in conjunction with 30\nyears of passive microwave data available from the National Snow and Ice Data\nCenter\, we study whether public disturbances and serious crime increase in the\nspring quarter where the impact of climate change has been more severe. Results\nare consistent with the hypothesis that where climate change has had the\ngreatest effect in reducing sea ice concentration\, spring quarter rates of\npublic disturbances and violent activities are relatively higher. We interpret\nthis to show that when Inuit men are not able to travel reliably on the ice to\nhunt\, the public health of their communities deteriorates.   About the speaker:Miriam Golden is the Vice Chair of Graduate Studies in the Department of Political Science at UCLA. At the undergraduate level she teaches PS167D\, “Political Institutions and Economic Development\,” and at the graduate level she teaches seminars on distributive politics and on inequality as well as politics. She recently served as Chair of the American Political Science Association’s Organized Section in Political Economy and is a member of the editorial boards of various U.S. and European professional journals. Her research has been funded by the National Science Foundation\, the International Growth Centre\, and the Governments of Quebec and Canada. Professor Golden was a Visiting Scholar at the Center for the Study of Democratic Politics at the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs\, Princeton University for the 2011-2012 academic year.

SUMMARY:SB 535 Workshop: Investment Justice Through the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund
DESCRIPTION:With billions of dollars expected for the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund (the Fund)\, California has a tremendous opportunity to make smart investments that will combat climate change while maximizing environmental\, public health and economic benefits for disadvantaged communities. SB 535 (de Leόn) requires that at least 25 percent of the moneys in the Fund go to projects that benefit disadvantaged communities. To support the development of an analytical and equitable approach for this process\, the UCLA Luskin Center is collaborating with the SB 535 Quad and others to convene leading experts from government\, academia\, and community-based organizations. Objectives include:Advance criteria and metrics to help the State make strategic investment decisions with the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund in\, for and with disadvantaged communities.Begin to rank programs for funding prioritization based on these criteria and metrics. Recommend how these programs could be best implemented\, used and even modified or augmented to maximize benefits in disadvantaged communitiesA report with recommendations for State decision makers will be released by the Luskin Center after the workshop.For more details\, please see the event website: www.sb535workshop.wordpress.comTHIS IS AN INVITE-ONLY EVENT.

SUMMARY:The California-Quebec Adventure: Linking Cap and Trade as a Path to Global Climate Action?
DESCRIPTION:A symposium on the recent linkage of the California and Quebec cap-and-trade programs and its implication for broader international climate cooperationClick here to RSVP for this event Click here for directions to this eventAt the beginning of this year\, California and Quebec linked their greenhouse gas cap-and-trade programs.  This means that sources of greenhouse gases in each jurisdiction can trade emission allowances issued under either program.  This linkage represents a key step forward in developing international cooperative mechanisms to address climate change.  As a result\, there is a lot at stake in making this program successful\, and some important questions for how to do this remain to be answered.  What are the pitfalls to avoid going forward?  How can California and Quebec best coordinate the joint auctions scheduled later this year?  How can we further expand this program and encourage other regulators to create regional linkages?This symposium takes on these issues and other topics related to the California-Quebec linkage\, featuring panels of academics and policymakers from the United States and Canada.SponsorsCanadian Studies at UCLA ProgramEmmett Center on Climate Change and the EnvironmentInstitute of the Environment and SustainabilityLuskin Center for InnovationCanadian Consulate in Los AngelesThe Government of QuebecThe California Air Resources Board   \n  Agenda \n  ​ \n  ​8:45am \n  Welcome​\n  Glen MacDonald\, UCLA Institute of the Environment and Sustainability\n  Mr. James Villeneuve\, Canadian Consul General (invited)\n  Alain Houde\, Head of Post\, Quebec Delegation in LA (invited) \n  ​9-10:15am \n  ​Keynote Panel: The Past\, Present and Future of the\n  California/Quebec Linkages\n  Mary Nichols\, California Air Resource Board Chairman\n  Yves-François Blanchet\, Minister of the Sustainable Development Wildlife and\n  Parks (invited) \n  Keynote statements followed by questions from a faculty panel\, then audience\n  Q&A. \n  Faculty panel:\n  Ann Carlson\, UCLA School of Law\n  Matt Kahn\, UCLA Institute of the Environment and Sustainability \n  Michael Jaccard\, Simon Fraser University \n  ​10:30am- Noon  \n  ​The Economists Panel: What are the benefits of this\n  linkage?  What are its drawbacks\, and how should we minimize them?\n  Matt Kahn\, UCLA Institute of the Environment and Sustainability\n  J.R.
