Hello all,



As you many know Earth Day is upon us, and the UCR Office of Sustainability
is hosting a variety of programs. We’d like to invite you and your students
to attend some of them throughout April. Find the full list of programs
here: https://sustainability.ucr.edu/earthmonth2024



We’d like to highlight one event that may be of particular interest to you,
your students, or your classes.



   - *Event*: Climate Action Simulation
   - *Description:* EN-ROADS <https://www.climateinteractive.org/en-roads/>
   is a free online simulation model from Climate Interactive and MIT Sloan
   Sustainability Initiative which is grounded in the best available science
   on climate impacts and solutions. The purpose of this workshop is to
   educate students, staff, faculty and others in various fields about the
   intricacies affecting climate change. This workshop will be hosted by
   Office of Sustainability and our guest speaker, Polly Estabrook who retired
   from NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in 2022 to concentrate on meeting the
   climate challenge and reducing its negative impacts as much as possible.
   Register for the Climate Action Simulation Workshop here.
   <https://ucr.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_jTdmEJ_cT9WBBxT9sQvxmw#/registration>and
   see Polly's LinkedIn profile here

   <https://ucr.zoom.us/s/93233738248>. Additionally, David Giron will be
   attending to provide real world insight into climate action and policy
   implementation. David’s policy work led him to become the lead staffer on
   the City Council’s Energy and Environment Committee, which resulted in the
   landmark LA100 plan, a nation-leading policy that will make the City of Los
   Angeles use 100% carbon-free energy by 2035.  David’s work has resulted in
   the City getting serious and focused on greatly expanding electric vehicle
   infrastructure and solar + battery energy on buildings citywide.  David
   also worked on the fight to eliminate oil rigs and drilling in Los Angeles,
   ensuring even more carbon emission protections for the public and our most
   vulnerable communities.  While David ran the City Council’s Energy and
   Environment Committee, the Council adopted the Styrofoam and plastics
   elimination policy, which is in the process of being implemented.
