Peer Reviewed and Innovative Carbon Offsets

Tue, Oct 18, 2016 2:30 – 3:30 PM EDT

Second Nature, with the help of signatory institutions, recently updated their carbon offsets guidance– a resource that helps campuses understand how offsets can play a role in meeting their climate goals. The updated guidance provides more flexibility for schools looking to leverage their academic resources to find innovative carbon offset solutions. Specifically, the guidance discusses the role of peer reviewed and innovative carbon offsets. This webinar will review these two new categories of offsets and introduce a new offset verification network that will work to develop an overarching peer review framework for higher education offset projects.

  • Charles Adair
    Program Manager, Duke Carbon Offsets Initiative
  • Tani Colbert-Sangree
    Environmental Consultant, The Oberlin Project
  • Brett Pasinella

Community Resilience Building: Getting on the right path early and often

Thu, Oct 27, 2016 1:00 – 2:00 PM EDT

The need for academia, governments, corporations, and organizations to build community resilience to hazards is strikingly evident. As a response to this ever increasing need,Community Resilience Building was created. The Community Resilience Building (CRB) Workshop provides a friendly “anywhere and at any scale” approach for developing community resilience action plans. The CRB workshops employ a unique community-driven process, rich with information, experience, and dialogue, where the participants identify top hazards, current challenges, strengths, and priority actions to improve resilience to all natural and climate-related hazards today, and in the future for communities across the United States and beyond. This webinar, presented in partnership with The Nature Conservancy, will help you better understand the process and assess the applicability to your own communities goals. Register.

Presenters:

  • Adam Whelchel
    Director of Science, The Nature Conservancy
  • Brett Pasinella
