Indian Youth Service Corps aims to combat climate change, empower Native youth By Hannah Grover

https://nmpoliticalreport.com/2022/06/13/indian-youth-service-corps-aims-to-combat-climate-change-empower-native-youth/ Indian Youth Service Corps aims to combat climate change, empower Native youth By Hannah Grover The U.S. Department of the Interior launched the new Indian Youth Service Corps and announced the program guidelines on Friday. This program—which was created through the John S. McCain III 21st Century Conservation Service Corps Act—is modeled after other successful programs like the Ancestral Lands Conservation Corps. The Department of the Interior is providing $2 million to the Bureau of Indian Affairs, $700,000 to the National Park Service and $600,000 to the Bureau of Reclamation to establish this program. Its goal is to provide opportunities for Native Americans ages 16 to 30 to gain work experience in the natural resources field while also preserving traditional practices of land stewardship and creating awareness of Indigenous culture and history. During a press conference on Friday, Secretary of the Interior Deb Haaland spoke about her Laguna Pueblo connections and being in the outdoors with her grandfather. She said the Indigenous people are the original stewards of the lands. The National Park Foundation announced on Friday that it will be contributing $1 million to help get the program off the ground. It is funding ten projects in various states including New Mexico. “These projects will engage tribal youth in a wide range of conservation and preservation activities,” Will Shafroth, the foundation’s president and CEO, said during a press conference. He said that one unique thing about the program is that the participants will also be “protecting indigenous cultural practices, languages and traditional ecological knowledge used for land management.” “We have so much to learn from tribal members about these things is how we manage our public lands,” he said. U.S. Rep. Teresa Leger Fernández said her first job was in the Youth Conservation Corps. She also spoke about the wildfires burning in New Mexico and said service corps like the Indian Youth Service Corps are important in the effort to combat climate change. She said the next generation needs to be empowered with the tools and resources needed to help landscapes and communities recover after devastating wildfires.

Dear members of the Global Network:

Greetings to all!  hoping this message finds you well, I´m  contacting you to update  on the sessions of the VIII United Nations Regional Platform for Disaster Reduction in which GNDR has a role and a representative; the sessions in which GNDR will participate are the product of lobbying and participation in the Advisory Committee for the development of the official agenda, where Graciela Salaberri, Chair of the Global Board, and I have influenced to include the work that you and the members of their countries are doing.

Below is the list of session types (Plenary, Parallel or side event) and the GNDR representative who is participating in the development of the Concept Note:
 

SESSION	TOPIC	GNDR POINT OF CONTACT
Plenary 2	Risk governance: Innovations for policy and multisectoral coordination to reduce risk drivers.	Graciela Salaberri
Plenary 3	Evidence-based financing of resilient development: A strategic approach to sustainable and efficient investments	Lorenzo Mota
Parallel 2	Inclusion, diversity, intersectionality and innovation in multi-hazard warning systems.	Liza Hernández
Parallel 3	Science and technology made available: low-cost solutions and traditional knowledge to increase community resilience.	Andrés Narvaez
Parallel 5	Risk reduction through ecosystem restoration: science, technology and NbS.	Jorge Ruiz
Parallel 7	Systemic risk, inequality and inclusion: lessons from the pandemic for DRR.	Breny Herrera
SIDE EVENT 9	Voluntary networks for climate action and DRR	Tania Triminio
SIDE EVENT 12	A gender lens based on autonomy and leadership of women for a more resilient region.	Liza Hernández

It is important to clarify that the role of the point of contact is to represent GNDR in that specific session, it will not necessarily be the person who participates as a presenter in the session, but rather the role is to ensure that civil society organizations are included in the session. session; Subsequently, and based on what was discussed in each work team of the session, an attempt will be made to identify the profile that is desired and summon the member or NFP who may be the ideal person to present in each session. If any of you are interested in participating in the listed sessions, do not hesitate to contact Graciela, Martín or me, we have little time, so we would appreciate it if you do so as soon as possible.

Just this week we presented the first version of the concept note, and now with the comments received from the evaluation committee, the teams are meeting again to respond to the points indicated and improve/strengthen or change the focus of the concept notes.

I take this opportunity to send you the link so that you can register on the Regional Platform to participate either virtually or in person. We will keep you posted, regards to all

The Final Frontier: The Rise of the Spacefaring Nations Tuesday, November 22, 2022

 

View this email in your browser

The Rise of the Spacefaring Nations Tuesday, November 22   |   11:00 am EST   |   Register Now Join us as we continue the Opening the Final Frontier campaign with a conversation on The Rise of the Spacefaring Nations. The exploration and commercialization of space has contributed enormously to economic progress, from electronics miniaturization to location services, satcom and Earth observation. But the roster of spacefaring nations has not kept pace, with only ten countries having demonstrated orbital launch capability and seven having operational launchers. As new launch systems come online and new spaceports are developed, however, the club is poised for growth. Hear what’s next from the companies with operational launchers, leading-edge developments and ambitious plans and how they may grow economic opportunity for the rest of the world. Joining our moderator, Robert Bell, Executive Director of SSPI, will be: Steven Eisele, Vice President, Business Development, Virgin Orbit Negar Feher, Chief Revenue Officer, SpaceRyde Steve Wolfe, Deputy Executive Director, Global Spaceport Alliance
