Webinar on ensuring environmental justice and equity in a regional low-carbon transportation program Tuesday, September 29, 2020, 4 - 6 PM

Save the Date: TCI webinar on ensuring environmental justice and equity in a regional low-carbon transportation program  Tuesday, September 29, 2020, 4 - 6 PM   This webinar will focus on proposed measures intended to ensure the program fosters equity for overburdened and underserved communities, building on states’ longstanding commitment to designing a program that benefits all communities, including those on the frontlines of air pollution and climate change impacts. The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the fact that racial disparities in exposure to air pollution are reflected in disproportionate impacts of the coronavirus and other health threats. The TCI jurisdictions have received extensive input from a wide range of interested people and organizations on ways states could design and implement a regional low-carbon transportation program that advances equity and environmental justice. Informed by that input and further outreach, TCI state officials will provide updates on proposed strategies to ensure that overburdened and underserved communities benefit from investments and reduced air pollution and have opportunities for meaningful engagement in shaping TCI commitments and implementation moving forward. Details and registration information for the September 29 webinar will be available soon on the TCI website. Please RSVP using the link below so we can notify you when the registration link is available.

World View. Webinar: What should COVID-19 recovery look like?

 

Webinar: What should COVID-19 recovery look like?

The Copenhagen Center for Disaster Research and the Disaster Prevention and Management Journal are pleased to invite you to an online talk with Jemilah Mahmood, Special Advisor to the Prime Minister of Malaysia on Public Health and Ricardo Mena, Director of the United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction (UNDRR).

Disaster recovery is the least spoken aspect in disaster risk management. The COVID-19 pandemic is far from over and during the ongoing pandemic we see many countries being affected by range of other disasters. During this time, we have seen a proliferation of actors working with different aspects of the pandemic. Governments, non-governmental actors and civil society are all working towards building a resilient society. Therefore, we must channel our efforts and ensure that recovery is sustainable and address issues of systemic risk.

The webinar will focus on the following questions

• How do we ensure that recovery addresses questions of risk and vulnerability from a systems perspective?
• How can we better align efforts of different actors working with different aspects of the pandemic and other disasters?
• What factors are crucial to ensure a sustainable recovery from the pandemic?

The speakers will talk for approximately 15 minutes each, followed by a 20 minutes Q&A.

Then 2013 to Now 2020. Reshaping Law Enforcement in the 21st Century

 

Reshaping Law Enforcement in the 21st Century By Rodrigo (Roddy) Moscoso When this article was written in 2013, technologies and response equipment – combined with social media and mobile applications – were changing the way law enforcement agencies protect themselves and their communities. What were once only possible in science-fiction movies have quickly been becoming commonplace within law enforcement communities across the nation – drones, facial recognition, and instant data access and analysis.
