SUMMARY:Crisis and Opportunity: The Oncoming Renewable Energy Revolution
DESCRIPTION:The Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at the University of Oregon (OLLI-UO) is pleased to announce a timely virtual lecture with Dr. John Perona\, PhD\, LLM\, Professor of Environmental Biochemistry\, Portland State University and Adjunct Professor of Biochemistry & Molecular Biology at Oregon Health & Science University. Please email osher@uoregon.edu to receive the Zoom meeting link. \nDr. John Perona examines new work by climate scientists that suggests that we are on track to avoid the worst-case climate change scenarios. As tragic as it has been\, the coronavirus pandemic has clearly shown how greenhouse gas emissions depend on lifestyle. The economic recovery from the pandemic now offers huge opportunities for boosting investments in decarbonization\, effectively resetting the entire energy economy. \nWe look at the present state of the climate and examine the major U.S. initiatives plotting roadmaps for the renewable energy transition over the next three decades. Citizens can play a key role in advocating and supporting aggressive policies for deep decarbonization. Join us this Thursday to learn more.

SUMMARY:Food systems in the time of COVID-19: North American perspectives on how the FAO can contribute to greater resilience
DESCRIPTION:COVID-19 has disrupted nearly every element of every food system on earth. From international commodity markets to local cooperatives\, from consumption patterns to transport protocols\, from access to farm labour to reforming the retail sector – the pandemic is stress-testing every element of global and local food systems. \nThe FAO defines resilience as\, “the ability to prevent disasters and crises as well as to anticipate\, absorb\, accommodate or recover from them in a timely\, efficient and sustainable manner”. \nHow have food systems fared through this crisis? \nJoin senior government officials from Canada and the U.S.\, as well as representatives from the private sector and civil society mechanisms of the U.N. Committee on World Food Security and senior leaders from the FAO to discuss these issues and more .
