SUMMARY:February 22\, 2022 Recording - The Impossible Dream:  Bending the long arc of growth and profit toward social benefit at a time of climate emergency
DESCRIPTION:  \n \nSpeaker: Merle Lefkoff\, Phd\,\nFounding Director\, Center for Emergent Diplomacy Santa Fe\, New Mexico \nEvent Summary: \nDr. Lefkoff will examine the reasons why “sustainable investing” (sometimes called impact investing or environmental\, social\, and governance investing\, ESGs) is hastening the exponential race toward global climate collapse\, even as CEOs like Larry Fink of BlackRock\, the most prominent investment leader in the world\, promotes companies like BlackRock as the best hope for a more sustainable version of capitalism.  Here’s the question she will address:  Is it possible to be a good socially responsible citizen\, while at the same time carrying out the fiduciary responsibility to make the most profit possible for the shareholders of a corporation? \n   \nMerle Lefkoff\, PhD  \nRecently returned from facilitating a workshop at COP26\, Merle is a social change entrepreneur whose passion and practice is devoted to the application of nonlinear complex systems thinking to surviving climate change on a much-altered planet.  Merle holds a doctorate in Political Science from Emory University and has been a mediator\, facilitator\, and leadership trainer in active conflict zones around the world. She received a research appointment as Guest Scientist and Affiliate of the Center for Nonlinear Studies\, at Los Alamos National Laboratory\, where she worked on computer simulations exploring a range of negotiation strategies in the search for coexistence among competing adversaries.  She led the planning group of NGO leaders at the United Nations launch of the Gross National Happiness index and is a member of the Integrative Peacebuilding Network in Ottawa\, Canada. \n  \nA year earlier\, former chief of the Australian Defense Force Admiral Chris Barrie\, in his Forward to a policy paper analyzing climate-related security threats in Australia wrote\, “our intelligence and security services have a vital role to play\, and a fiduciary responsibility\, in accepting this existential climate threat\, and the need for a fundamentally different approach to its risk management\, as central to their considerations and their advice to government. The implications far outweigh conventional geopolitical threats.” \n\nIf you would like to contribute to support our ongoing activities any contribution of $20.00 or over will be provided with a charitable tax receipt.  Thank you for your support and participation.

SUMMARY:February 23\, 2022 Recording - CACOR EVENT - International Cooperation to Align Fossil Fuel Production with Paris Goals: A Bold New Idea
DESCRIPTION:  \n \nThe Canadian Association for the Club of Rome is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting. \n  \nTopic: Tzeporah Berman | International Cooperation to Align Fossil Fuel Production with Paris Goals: A Bold New Idea \nTime: Feb 23\, 2022 13:30 Eastern Time (US and Canada) \n  \nSummary: \nWhile the world has known for decades that emissions from fossil fuels must decline\, the Paris Agreement and most domestic policy focuses on reducing demand for fossil fuels and not supply. The United Nations Production Gap Report shows clearly that we are now on track to produce over 100% more oil\, gas and coal than the world can burn and stay under 1.5C.  What needs to happen to align fossil fuel supply with Paris goals? How can we fast track progress while ensuring equity and addressing energy poverty? \nBio: \nTzeporah Berman is the International Program Director at Stand.earth and the Chair of the Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty Committee. She is an Adjunct Professor at York University Faculty and in 2021 she gave a widely-viewed TED \n  \nJoin Zoom Meeting \nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/83916511294?pwd=VjRNK0FZVHcyNWNFN0poeTNudlpKZz09 \n  \nMeeting ID: 839 1651 1294 \nPasscode: 756352 \n  \n\n\n\n  \n
