SUMMARY:Co-creating a Climate Resilient SFU
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an evening of interactive dialogue with SFU’s community to exchange ideas and insight towards a climate resilient SFU. \nAbout this event\nThe SFU Sustainability Office\, Embark Sustainability Society\, SFU 350\, and the Pacific Institute for Climate Solutions have teamed up to host an evening of community dialogue\, inviting SFU community members to share their ideas and experiences with climate impacts and adaptation on campus! This event will provide students\, staff\, and faculty a chance to share their perspectives on what it means to build a resilient community as the climate changes. The goal is to introduce SFU’s work so far in developing a Climate Resilience Plan and to provide a platform for community members to contribute their insights and input into what SFU can do now. \nIncreasing temperatures in and out of buildings on campus and extreme snowfall events are just two consequences of climate change currently felt by community members at SFU’s three campuses. Projected changes in climate include hotter summers\, increased wildfires\, extreme weather events\, and increased precipitation\, which could lead to health and safety hazards for the community. Other potential consequences include decreased productivity of students and staff\, risk of loss of research data\, and increased difficulty in operating labs and classrooms. These are just a few reasons why climate adaptation is crucial for a sustainable and climate resilient future at SFU. \nThis event will consist of numerous dialogues that center on engaging the broader SFU community (students\, faculty\, staff) to share their input on the anticipated impacts and risks that the university will experience from the shocks and stresses of climate change. This dialogue aims to provide a better image of what the community considers to be important and what actions SFU should further take to accommodate these needs. Note that this event will be focused on climate change impacts and climate adaptation actions. If you would like to read more about SFU’s climate mitigation efforts\, you can access the 2025 Strategic Sustainability Plan. \nDuring the event\, attendees will be asked to share images of how you’ve seen impacts of climate change around you. If any participants would like to prepare beforehand\, we encourage them to come prepared with some images they wish to share for this digital activity. \nAttendees will be entered in a draw to win a $50 gift card! \n*The insights from this event will directly contribute to the development of an SFU Climate Resilience Plan. While this event will not be recorded\, we will be taking notes from the discussions. \nACCESSIBILITY\, TECHNOLOGY AND PRIVACY\nAccessibility \nClosed captioning will be available for this event. \nWe will be able to offer ASL interpretation for this event. For us to book and secure an interpreter\, please let us know at rite_steele@sfu.ca by Thursday\, May 20th at 4pm. \nRegistration and password \nA zoom link and password to access this event will be sent to all registrants via email before the event. \nTechnology requirements \nThis workshop will be presented in a participatory webinar format.

SUMMARY:Session 2: From Myths to Effective Climate Action - Climate Literacy 101: On a Path to Climate Success
DESCRIPTION:Session 2: From Myths to Effective Climate Action \nWednesday\, June 3rd \n12pm-1pm \nDr. Mark Jaccard will speak on how climate-concerned citizens can overcome myths that hinder us from acting in time to prevent extreme climate impacts. Their actions can involve personal consumption choices (electric vehicles\, heat pumps) but these only have an effect if citizens are also engaged in the political process and civil society to elect and support climate-sincere politicians. These personal and collective efforts must align with and foster a global strategy of decarbonization\, especially in developing countries. Come to the talk to find out what is required on a simple path to climate success and what you can contribute. \n  \n\n\n\n\nJoin us for a Virtual Lunch & Learn Series\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout this Event\n\n\nAre you an SFU student\, faculty member\, or staff climate champion committed to growing your understanding of climate science and pathways for change? \nClimate Literacy 101 is an opportunity to learn from and engage with leading climate science and policy experts at Simon Fraser University.

She will illustrate the atmospheric greenhouse effect\, the long permanence of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and the lag in the warming of the ocean\, which conspire to keep global mean temperature elevated even if human-made carbon dioxide emissions are eliminated. \nSession 2: From Myths to Effective Climate Action \nWednesday\, June 3rd \n12pm-1pm \nDr. Mark Jaccard will speak on how climate-concerned citizens can overcome myths that hinder us from acting in time to prevent extreme climate impacts. Their actions can involve personal consumption choices (electric vehicles\, heat pumps) but these only have an effect if citizens are also engaged in the political process and civil society to elect and support climate-sincere politicians. These personal and collective efforts must align with and foster a global strategy of decarbonization\, especially in developing countries. Come to the talk to find out what is required on a simple path to climate success and what you can contribute. \nSession 3: Climate Action at SFU \nWednesday\, June 10th \n12pm-1pm \nIn this session\, you will hear about various climate action initiatives at SFU and opportunities to get involved. Participating groups include SFU350\, Embark’s Climate Action Team\, SFU Sustainability Office\, and PICS. \nSPEAKER BIOS \nDr. Kirsten Zickfeld is an Associate Professor in the Geography Department at Simon Fraser University. Her primary research interests are in the long-term effects of human activities on climate. She is internationally recognized for her research on the irreversibility of human-induced climate change and carbon budgets consistent with climate targets. She served as a Lead Author of the recently released IPCC Special Report of on Global Warming of 1.5 degrees and is a Lead Author of the IPCC Sixth Assessment Report. She has won the President’s Prize of the Canadian Meteorological and Oceanographic Society and SFU President’s Prize for Leadership in Sustainability. \nDr. Mark Jaccard is a professor in SFU’s School of Resource and Environmental Management and was recently named an SFU Distinguished Professor. His Ph.D. is from Grenoble University. He researches the design and application of energy-economy models for assessing climate policies. He is an author of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change and a member of the Royal Society of Canada.

SUMMARY:Student Climate Engagement Session
DESCRIPTION:Embark\, SFU350\, and ChangeSFU (officially known as the Climate Coalition) are organizing a climate emergency engagement session and we thought you may be interested in attending! \nAs a contribution to the larger climate emergency engagement process taking place at SFU\, the Climate Coalition is organizing a session that is specifically for students as we want to make sure there is space for our voices to be heard\, our ideas to be shared\, and connections to be made through this pressing crisis that affects us all! Before a climate emergency is declared\, we want to ensure that all students have the opportunity to share their perspective\, which is why\, through this event\, we want to create a safe space for any SFU student – regardless of their involvement in climate action – to share their thoughts\, concerns\, and proposals for how SFU can proceed as a leader in the fight against climate change.  \nOur session will focus on why climate action matters to students and how it affects us both inside and outside the classroom. The session will be held on Monday\, February 3rd from 12:30 – 2:30 pm on the Burnaby Campus (location TBD) and light refreshments will be provided. RSVP is required as space is limited. Please RSVP here https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/FFNFJN6.  \nBy participating in this engagement session\, you will be providing valuable student input for the climate emergency declaration process.  \nWe hope to see you there!
