SUMMARY:USC: California Dystopia
DESCRIPTION:University of Southern California \nCalifornia Dystopia: Understanding Climate Change and Social Collapse through Science Fiction \nDATE:Wednesday\, March 9\, 2022 at 5 p.m. \nLOCATION:Virtual Event \n\n\nIn the fall of 2020\, when wildfires turned the once-blue skies of California into a glowing orange hellscape—all amid a viral pandemic marked by severe racial and social disparities and protests over police violence against communities of color—some of the darkest fiction about California’s future seemed especially prescient. \nModerated by Los Angeles Times culture columnist Carolina A. Miranda\, a wide-ranging panel including climate resiliency expert John Bwarie\, Octavia Butler scholar Ayana A. H. Jamieson\, science fiction author Kim Stanley Robinson\, and climate scientist Daniel Swain will try to make sense of a California that increasingly resembles the dystopia of Butler’s classic novel Parable of the Sower. Were the historic wildfires of 2020 an aberration—or the new normal? How do social and environmental distress amplify each other? Do fictional depictions of California’s future inform\, encourage\, or hinder efforts to build a better future? And can utopian visions still play a role? \nPrior to the discussion\, digital artist Erik Loyer of Opertoon and a team of students from the Ahmanson Lab at the USC Sidney Harman Academy for Polymathic Study will share their speculative vision of California’s future in the form of an immersive digital work\, accompanied by an exhibition of rare and unique materials from the USC Libraries’ collections.\n \n\nEvent page

SUMMARY:Weather Reports: The Climate of the Future
DESCRIPTION:Harvard Divinity School: Weather Reports \nMonday\, November 22\, 2021\, 7:00pm to 8:30pm \n\n\nKim Stanley Robinson\, novelist\, will present “The Climate of the Future.”\n \n\n\n\nKim Stanley Robinson’s thriller The Ministry for the Future (2020) is science fiction that reads as hard-edged journalism. With short chapters and a myriad of characters\, Robinson creates a kaleidoscope of perspectives on a global climate collapse coming in 2025. Bill McKibben writes “In Kim Stanley Robinson’s anti-dystopian novel\, climate change is the crisis that finally forces mankind to deal with global inequality.” At heart an optimist\, Robinson lays out a possible path to move forward with faith in what we can create together in a post-capitalist world. \nRespondent: Sarah Dimick\, Assistant Professor of English\, Harvard University \nBrian Kirbis of Theasophia will open the conversation with a tea pouring. Each conversation will be conducted online by Terry Tempest Williams\, writer-in-residence at Harvard Divinity School. \nThis series is a Constellation Project in partnership with the Center of the Study of World Religions\, Religion and Public Life\, and the Planetary Health Alliance. \nFor more information\, visit the event page. Registration is required. \n \n\nEvent page \n

SUMMARY:Paris Peace Forum: needed governance of Solar Radiation Modification
DESCRIPTION:Paris Peace Forum 4th edition \nEngineered climate: The needed governance of Solar Radiation Modification  \nSaturday 13 november 2021 15:30 – 16:30 \n\n\nSolar Radiation Modification (SRM)\, a technology still untested but within human reach\, consists of increasing the reflection of incoming sunlight back to space to lower the earth’s temperature. By doing so\, SRM could help reduce major climate hazards\, with the greatest benefits going to the most vulnerable regions. Yet SRM involves serious uncertainties\, risks\, and governance challenges\, including the possibility of undermining critical emissions cuts. This panel will explore the needed conditions for a rigorous\, legitimate\, inclusive\, and balanced discussion on the global governance of SRM. \nSpeakers: Janos Pasztor\, Executive Director\, Carnegie Climate Governance Initiative (C2G); Andrew Parker\, CEO\, The Degrees Initiative (Formerly SRMGI); Kim Stanley Robinson\, Author; Brice Lalonde\, Former Minister of the Ecological Transition\, France\n \n\nEvent page \nYouTube video

SUMMARY:5x15 at COP26 - Arts and the Imagination Hosted by Brian Eno
DESCRIPTION:5×15 at COP26 – Arts and the Imagination Hosted by Brian Eno \n\nJust as we need climate scientists to present the facts\, we need the arts and culture to help us think and feel and talk about the climate crisis at all levels. The conversation needs scientists – but it urgently needs artists too. Science discovers\, Art digests. Art and culture tell us stories about other possible worlds\, lives\, and ways of being. A novel or a film invites us to experience an imaginary world and see how we feel about it. Culture is where our minds go to experiment\, to try out new feelings. \nThis special event on the final day of COP26 features story-tellers\, artists and performers brought together by 5×15 and Brian Eno\, EarthPercent and the Jaipur Literature Festival to explore the role of artists and the arts in responding to climate change. As COP26 draws to a close\, we're looking forward to the road ahead and exploring the power of imagination to drive change – for humans\, for animals\, for flora and fauna\, for soil\, for oceans. \nFeaturing Rosie Boycott\, Brian Eno\, Carolina Caycedo\, Amitav Ghosh\, Kim Stanley Robinson\, Ben Okri\, Charlotte Jarvis\, Mirabella Okri\, Olafur Eliasson\, Emtithal Mahmoud\, Wilson Oryema\, Neil Gaiman and more. Supported by Rathbone Investment Management and Rathbones Folio Prize. \n\n\n\n12 November 2021 \n12pm in Cinema Auditorium \nEvent page at 5×15 \nEvent page at COP26 \nVideo on YouTube

SUMMARY:Climateworks Foundation at COP26
DESCRIPTION:COP26 event: Reimagining climate governance \nNovember 8\, 5-7 pm GMT — online and in-person \n\n\nCOP26 is intended to close a chapter on international climate negotiations as Paris Agreement rules are finalized. At the same time\, with the climate crisis deepening and calls for justice and equity increasing\, many initiatives are bringing new thinking to arrangements that complement the Agreement. For example\, with the Global Stocktake kicking off\, it is a moment for reflection about how the UNFCCC and implementation of the Paris Agreement are evolving.  \nTaking the long view\, there is a gap between where we are headed and where we need to be in 50 or 100 years. Those time spans can be modeled but are hard to contemplate at ground level. Now is the time to understand and plan for what climate politics may look like over the coming decades and how the drive for a just transition could play out against the backdrop of shifting geopolitics and more severe climate impacts.  \nTo help unpack some of these topics\, we invite you to hear from two speakers applying their considerable skills at organizing for action and reimagining the potential of governance to address the climate emergency. Nigel Topping\, COP26 Climate Champion\, is leading efforts to get influential players in the real economy to shift to net zero and complement government action. Kim Stanley Robinson is a bestselling author of speculative fiction whose books have probed the realities of a future living with climate change\, as well as exploring the ways in which society may tackle emissions and adapt.\n \n\nEvent page

SUMMARY:New York Times ClimateHub: Storytelling and Climate Change
DESCRIPTION:The New York Times ClimateHub \nHearts and Minds: Storytelling and Climate Change \nSat.\, Nov. 6 3–3:45 p.m. G.M.T. \n\n\nStories hold a power that science does not: The power to move hearts and minds\, and connect people to a problem. A fact can be devastating\, but when placed in the context of a story that people can relate to\, that fact becomes part of a reality we can better comprehend\, react to and address. How can scientists tell better stories to bring their research to life? What can the world’s best storytellers do for those who want to tell the truth about climate change\, and how can we use stories to help people move beyond the state of despair that facts alone can instill?\n \n\nWith: \n\nOliver Jeffers\, Artist and Author\nDoug Gurr\, Director\, Natural History Museum\, London\nSlater Jewell-Kemker\, Filmmaker\nAlice Aedy\, Filmmaker; Co-Founder\, Earthrise\nMatt Anderson\, European Culture Editor\, The New York Times\nEmtithal Mahmoud\, Poet and Goodwill Ambassador\, United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees\nKim Stanley Robinson\, Author\n\nEvent page \nVideo on YouTube \n​ \n\n\n	 \n	\n\n  \n
