Meanwhile\, new satellites or technological objects that we depend on down here on Earth are launched into space all the time\, creating more debris\, risking collision\, and ultimately polluting our orbital commons. Tracking these objects\, preventing their collision\, and charting a course toward a more sustainable space is the work of Moriba Jah\, astrodynamicist\, National Geographic Explorer\, and MacArthur Fellow. Renowned science fiction writer Kim Stanley Robinson will lead a conversation with Moriba about what this challenge means to humanity and how we can extend our environmental ethic beyond our atmosphere and into the near-Earth orbital zone.  \nSpeakers \nKim Stanley Robinson\nMoriba Jah \n  \nLocation Name \nSummer Institute Tent \n  \nFull Address \nCollege of the Atlantic\n105 Eden St\nBar Harbor\, ME 04609\nUnited States \n\nEvent page \nEvent recording (YouTube)

SUMMARY:La Casa Encendida
DESCRIPTION:Online event organised in Spanish\, by La Casa Encendida\, Madrid\, Spain \nAlso broadcast on Radio 3 \n26 March 2023\, 18h \n\n\nSe han referido a Kim Stanley Robinson como el Julio Verne del siglo XXI\, al ser el escritor de ciencia ficción que de una forma más detallada y provocadora está describiendo escenarios de futuro en los que la humanidad ha logrado afrontar con éxito las transiciones ecosociales. \nAdemás es una de las figuras públicas que más tiempo lleva denunciando el perverso efecto de las distopías y defendiendo la necesidad de recuperar un impulso utópico para avanzar en los inaplazables cambios sociales que tenemos por delante. Este encuentro es una oportunidad inigualable para escucharle y reflexionar conjuntamente sobre la importancia de imaginar otros mundos desde el utopismo ecológico. \nEn él se harán las siguientes preguntas: ¿Las distopías se han vuelto conservadoras y predecibles? ¿La distopía nos reconcilia con el presente o sensibiliza y activa a la ciudadanía para cambiarlo? ¿Necesitamos recuperar un impulso utópico y activar una imaginación política? ¿Por qué son útiles narrativas que nos permitan visualizar cómo serían sociedades donde las transiciones ecosociales hubieran sido exitosas?\n \n\nEvent page \nEvent recording (YouTube)

SUMMARY:U Toronto: Law in a Changing World
DESCRIPTION:University of Toronto Faculty of Law \nLaw in a Changing World: The Climate Crisis \nThursday\, March 2\, 2023 (All day) to Friday\, March 3\, 2023 (All day)\nLocation: Jackman Law Building\, 78 Queen’s Park (in-person) \n\n\nHow is climate change affecting the law\, and the role of law in society? What do we do about it? \nClimate change is not only for experts to grapple with\, but for all members of society\, at all levels. The University of Toronto Faculty of Law’s conference on March 2 & 3 takes this proposition seriously. It aims to broaden the legal and policy discussions and explore how climate change is changing what we do – and what we need to do – as lawyers and legal educators. \nThe here-and-now of climate change has implications for virtually all areas of law\, as well as legal institutions and lawyers. It requires nothing less than rethinking who\, what and how law regulates. From the role of different levels of government\, to insurance and the assessment of risk\, to differential impacts within and among countries\, law and lawyers will be pivotal in facilitating our efforts to mitigate and respond to the real-world impact of climate change. \nWhat challenges does the reality of climate change present to the law?\n \n\nDay 1: Thursday\, March 2\, 2023 \n\n\nKeynote and Q&A (12:30-1:45pm) – Kim Stanley Robinson  \nOur keynote speaker will be science fiction writer\, Kim Stanley Robinson\, who will speak to his award-winning book\, The Ministry for the Future (2020). The book crosses over from the world of science fiction to contemporary policy discussions of climate change and catastrophe\, gesturing towards the possibility of moving from our current dystopia to a better future. It underscores the premise that underlies our conference\, i.e. that climate change affects everyone at all levels of society\, and that an effective response to climate change will similarly require efforts at all levels\, and from all areas of expertise.\n \n\nEvent page
