SUMMARY:The Changing History of East Asian Human Manure Fertilization
DESCRIPTION:Join Dr. Duk-Kyung Choi on April 25th for a lecture on “The Changing History of East Asian Human Manure Fertilization.” In this talk\, Dr. Choi will introduce his recent book Manure Ecology in the Agricultural History of East Asia (Sechang press\, 2016). Here is the abstract: \nFertilizer is the most important factor in raising agricultural productivity by enhancing the fertility of soil. The most common fertilizers in East Asian traditional agriculture were human feces and urine. In this study\, I investigate the socio-economic conditions underlying the use of human feces and urine and the changes in their use in East Asian civilizations. Since ancient times\, the people of East Asia have traditionally supported a large population by utilizing this natural means of fertilization\, yet eventually this practice was replaced in the modern world by the use of agricultural pesticides and chemicals\, all of which have jeopardized the health of the ecosystem and placed human life at risk. We now can examine some of the previously unforeseen consequences of modernization when it comes to human waste. If a new model for economic development in harmony with the environment is urgently demanded\, it seems that one answer can be found in the historical practice of recycling feces and urine as an essential way to preserve human life and maintain a sustainable environment. \n\n\n\n\nTuesday\, April 25th\, 2017\, 1:40-2:40 PM History Department Conference Room 8.65.36NB

SUMMARY:Ethics in Action: Climate Change and NYC
DESCRIPTION:As a low-lying coastal city\, NYC is highly vulnerable to human-induced climate change\, and the sea-level rise and intensive storms that can result. NYC must also be a leader in the effort to decarbonize the energy system\, a challenge encapsulated in the City’s 80×50 plan (to reduce Greenhouse Gas Emissions by 80 percent as of 2050). \nYou can join in the fight against climate change in the latest installment of Ethics in Action on Thursday\, March 2 at 6:30 PM. Join Columbia University Professor Jeffrey Sachs for an hour-long discussion with Dr. James Hansen\, one of the wolrd’s leading climate scientists. Together\, they will discuss how New York City can be a leader in the fight to decarbonize the energy system. You will leave the discussion with a clear action plan to engage city officials\, real estate developers\, and others on the moral necessity to help reduce our impact on the environment. You’ll even have the opportunity to ask a question of Dr. Hansen! \nDr. James Hansen\, formerly Director of the NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies\, is an Adjunct Professor at Columbia University’s Earth Institute\, where he directs a program in Climate Science\, Awareness and Solutions. Dr. Hansen is best known for his testimony on climate change in the 1980s that helped raise awareness of global warming. He is a member of the U.S. National Academy of Sciences and has received numerous awards including the Sophie and Blue Planet Prizes. Dr. Hansen is recognized for speaking truth to power and for outlining actions needed to protect the future of young people and all species on the planet. \n  \nRSVP HERE: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/ethics-in-action-climate-change-and-nyc-tickets-32089558734

SUMMARY:Opening Reception - Endangered
DESCRIPTION:ENDANGERED!\nCurated by Mary Ting \nNovember 14 to February 3\, 2017 \nPRESENTATION & OPENING RECEPTION\nWednesday\, November 16\, 2017\n\n4:30-6:30 Battle Zone Rhino Kathi Lynn Austin\nCITES 2016 Brian Gaisford\nRoom 630\, Haaren Hall\, John Jay College\, 899 10th Avenue/59 Street \n6:30-8:30 President’s Gallery Opening Reception\, 6th floor\, 899 10th Avenue/59 Street\nArtists: Nick Brandt\, Sue Coe\, Joel Sartore\, Brent Stapelkamp\, Mary Ting \nENDANGERED! the exhibition and its related programming is an emergency call to save the imperiled creatures whose precarious state is completely human caused. The endangered species crisis is growing at an alarming rate due to wildlife trafficking for animal parts and the exotic pet trade; habitat loss\, degradation and conflicts due to the mining\, logging\, drilling\, dams\, agriculture\, and livestock grazing\, and further exacerbated by climate change. Wildlife trafficking with its direct ties to criminal syndicates and weapons threatens the rule of law\, social stability and global security. This crisis is not just about the animals and regional problems – this involves all of us. \nENDANGERED! will include photography\, prints and sculpture by a group of acclaimed international artists who are dedicated to the cause. From Nick Brandt’s heartbreaking Across the Ravaged Land series\, to the expressionistic protest prints of Sue Coe\, the exhaustive Photo Ark by Joel Sartore\, the last photographs of Cecil\, the famed lion\, by his researcher and photographer\, Brent Stapelkampf\, to the Buddhist deity scrolls and\npost traumatic stress disorder baby animal soft sculpture by Mary Ting\, these artists are emphatic about the critical nature of these issues. \nThe exhibition ENDANGERED! and its public programs are co-sponsored by the John Jay College Sustainability and Environmental Justice program. sustainabilityjjay.org \nFor more information and additional upcoming public programs:\nendangeredexhibition.blogspot.com

SUMMARY:11th Annual Columbia International Investment Conference: Climate Change and Sustainable Investment in Natural Resources: From Consensus to Action
DESCRIPTION:As the world seeks to move from consensus to action on climate change\, one burning question remains: can natural resource investments be sustainable in the age of climate change? Landmark agreements concluded in 2015 clearly lay out global consensus on the need to curb human-induced climate change and to achieve sustainable development\, and these ambitious agreements have important implications for the world’s approach to natural resource investments. Yet no coherent vision has emerged to guide how global actors can shift the course of natural resource investments in a way that leads to deep decarbonization\, addresses the development needs of resource-dependent low-income countries\, and promotes a global governance structure that supports rather than inhibits national-level actions on climate change and development. This Conference brings together diverse stakeholders to explore the key challenges of and necessary steps to developing and implementing such a vision. \nThe Conference takes as its starting point the Paris Climate Agreement\, reached last December at COP21 (the 21st meeting of the Conference of the Parties of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change). The Paris Agreement marks a historic milestone in curbing human-induced climate change\, yet the real challenge lies ahead\, in implementation. The agreement sets the goal of limiting global warming to “well below two degrees Celsius” above pre-industrial levels\, and to pursue efforts to limit the increase to 1.5 degrees Celsius. Achieving this objective will require dramatic\, rapid\, coordinated\, and global decarbonization of energy systems. \nNotably\, the Paris Agreement also recognizes that the reduction of emissions should be “on the basis of equity\, and in the context of sustainable development and efforts to eradicate poverty.” The fundamental link of climate action with sustainable development is also underscored by the inclusion of climate-change control as Goal 13 of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)\, adopted in September 2015. Both the SDGs and the Paris Agreement make clear that climate-change mitigation must be pursued within the broader agenda of ending poverty\, promoting economic development\, ensuring social inclusion\, and protecting the physical environment. \nAddressing climate change—and implementing the Paris Agreement and the SDGs—will require a tremendous amount of ambition\, participation\, and collaboration across society\, including governments\, businesses\, investors\, international organizations\, civil society\, and the general public. Even looking solely at the question of sustainable investment in natural resources\, difficult issues will be confronted. For example\, to what extent should poorer countries be allowed or encouraged to use their fossil-fuel resources while richer countries cut back sharply on fossil-fuel use? What safeguards are necessary to ensure that climate change mitigation efforts support equitable development? Do international legal frameworks for investment need to be overhauled to ensure that countries are not constrained in their efforts to address climate change? \nThis Conference\, which will take place one week before COP22 is chaired by the Government of Morocco\, offers a high-level opportunity to explore the complex questions tied to natural resource investments in light of the Paris Agreement\, the SDGs\, and the real challenges facing low-income countries within the global economy. The outcomes of the Conference will provide inputs to COP22\, notably the related “Low-Emissions Solutions Conference.” \nThe Conference’s sessions will address the necessary shifts required in natural resource investments to promote equitable climate action\, including issues related to: \n– how to anticipate and implement the changing role of hydrocarbons in the global energy system\, including planning for and managing hydrocarbon reserves and correlated infrastructure that will be “stranded” in the process of decarbonization; \n– how low-carbon strategies can and should be adapted to the development needs of low-income countries; \n– how to manage land use to mitigate climate and environmental impacts and to maximize benefits for development\, including for local communities; \n– the role of private sector finance\, including opportunities for institutional investors; and \n– the development of new international legal frameworks and improved global governance to support national-level actions on climate change and sustainable development. \nConfirmed speakers include: \n\nMinister Bambang Brodjonegoro\, Minister of National Development Planning\, Indonesia\nLuca Cosentino\, Executive Vice President\, Energy Solutions\, Eni\nPenny Davies\, Program Officer\, Equitable Development\, Ford Foundation\nDanielle Fugere\, President\, As You Sow\nMark Gainsborough\, Executive Vice President\, New Energies\, Shell\nHon Tim Groser\, New Zealand Ambassador to the United States\nStephen Heintz\, President\, Rockefeller Brothers Fund\nAndrea Illy\, President\, illycaffè S.p.A.\nNaoko Ishii\, CEO and Chairperson\, Global Environment Facility (GEF)\nChris Jochnick\, President and CEO\, Landesa\nPetter Johnsen\, Chief Investment Officer Equity Strategies\, Norges Bank Investment Management\nNezha Larhrissi\, Senior Advisor\, Ministry of Environment\, Kingdom of Morocco\nÉric Martel\, President and CEO\, Hydro-Québec\nPedro van Meurs\, President\, Van Meurs Corporation\nMinister Amina J.

SUMMARY:Art Exhibit: Earth SOS
DESCRIPTION:“Planet Earth\, creation\, the world in which civilization developed\, the world with climate patterns we know and stable shorelines\, is in imminent peril….continued exploitation of all fossil fuels on Earth threatens not only the other millions of species on the planet but also the survival of humanity itself – and the timetable is shorter than we thought.”  Dr. James Hansen\, Storms of My Grandchildren\, 2009 \nThe goal of this exhibition is to present art that alerts the public and to celebrate the 178 countries who signed the Paris Climate Treaty in 2016.  The works on view are by 15 artists who are passionate about the degradation of our environment and the future for us and generations yet unborn. Together we are combining our efforts and struggling to save us all from an ecological apocalypse. \nWhat threats do our artists address in their work?  Their commitments to the ravages of our planet include climate warming by carbon dioxide derived from fuel emissions\, melting glaciers\, and rising sea levels. Our sea levels are rising so dangerously that increased coastal floods are eroding our coastlines. Pollution and global warming have also decimated our coral reefs.  This has created a serious economic problem for people who depend on fishing for their livelihood.  Additionally\, the marine life that is endangered will not be available for the higher food chain predators such as sharks and whales.  Further\, our waterways have been polluted so badly that the population\, especially our children and pregnant women\, is being poisoned by rust\, plastics\, cast off drugs\, coal tar wastes\, and heavy metals such as mercury. Our forests are being ravaged by deforestation which contributes to climate change. Trees act as a natural carbon sink\, removing carbon dioxide through photosynthesis.  Discarded clothes and other kinds of trash including plastics\, solvents and lubricants are filling our landfills\, releasing more carbon dioxide as they disintegrate. These are some of the concerns that our artists have addressed in their work. \n“We have reached the moment when we must make the full-effort dash to capture our precious globe before it crashes and our team – the team of all species on our planet is destroyed. But for our team\, unlike a baseball team\, there will be no chance of a comeback\, no next season to do better.”  Dr. James Hansen\, Storms of My Grandchildren\, 2009\n\nhttp://www.flomenhaftgallery.com
