SUMMARY:Mitigating Climate Change by Transitioning to a Renewable Resource-Based Economy
DESCRIPTION:A lecture by: \nDr.   Steven Cohen\nExecutive Director of The Earth Institute at Columbia University \nClimate change is the first widely recognized global crisis of environmental sustainability. Its solution requires the implementation of a transition from a fossil-fuel based energy economy to one built on renewable resources. This transition requires the development and diffusion of new technologies. The technological challenges of this transition will require significant political\, organizational and financial resources and capacities. This talk will discuss the challenges of this transition and outline a path for meeting these challenges by the middle of the 21st century. \nThis lecture is free and open to the public but space is limited. \nMonday\, February 26th\n2:00 PM\nWilliam Pitt Union\, Assembly Room\nUniversity of Pittsburgh\, Oakland Campus

SUMMARY:Workshop: Lowering Cost of Flood Insurance
DESCRIPTION:More frequent and intense storm events have led to a greater flood risk in our region. National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) flood insurance policy holders throughout the SPC region collectively pay millions of dollars in flood insurance premiums every year. Municipal   officials have the opportunity to put hundreds of thousands of dollars back into their residents’ and business owners’ pockets. The Federal Emergency Management Agency’s (FEMA) Community Rating System (CRS) Program promotes strong floodplain management practices and provides discounts on NFIP flood insurance premiums throughout participating jurisdictions. This session will discuss the CRS Program\, how to determine if participation is right for a municipality\, municipal activities that would earn CRS Program credit\, and how to enter and succeed in the CRS Program.

SUMMARY:Workshop: Lowering Flood Risk and the Cost of Flood Insurance
DESCRIPTION:More frequent and intense storm events have led to a greater flood risk in our region. National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) flood insurance policy holders throughout the SPC region collectively pay millions of dollars in flood insurance premiums every year. Municipal   officials have the opportunity to put hundreds of thousands of dollars back into their residents’ and business owners’ pockets. The Federal Emergency Management Agency’s (FEMA) Community Rating System (CRS) Program promotes strong floodplain management practices and provides discounts on NFIP flood insurance premiums throughout participating jurisdictions. This session will discuss the CRS Program\, how to determine if participation is right for a municipality\, municipal activities that would earn CRS Program credit\, and how to enter and succeed in the CRS Program.

SUMMARY:Maximizing Your Handprint: Education Session on Setting “Net Positive” Sustainability Goals
DESCRIPTION:Today’s sustainability commitments typically focus on calculating one’s negative environmental “footprint” and taking actions to reduce it. While this is a critical first step\, it leaves out of the equation all our positive impacts\, or “Handprints.” Instead of aiming for zero environmental impact\, which is almost never feasible\, Dr. Greg Norris\, Chief Scientist for the International Living Future Institute\, will explore how the Handprint framework allows individuals or organizations to set a more inspiring goal to be Net Positive\, where your Handprints are greater than your footprints. Greg will review existing Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) tools and discuss how they can be adapted to evaluate Handprints. Learn how organizations have started bringing Handprinting ideas to their companies and employees\, creating a culture of positive good. For more information\, view the event flyer here. \nThis session will be valuable for organizations that are being asked to demonstrate their social and environmental impact\, but the content will be relevant to all manufacturers\, architects\, designers\, building owners and sustainability professionals. This is the second workshop in our three-part series\, The Building Blocks of Living Products\, which is also exploring ingredient transparency and social equity. \nPresenters: \nGregory Norris\, Chief Scientist\, International Living Future Institute \nBenson Gabler\, Pittsburgh Living Product Hub Manager\, International Living Future Institute \nHosted by Bohlin Cywinski Jackson\, 611 William Penn Place\, Suite 1300\, Pittsburgh\, PA 15219. \nThe event will be followed by a happy hour from 5:00 pm – 6:00 pm. \n

SUMMARY:WEBINAR: Lead\, Radon & Mold in Residential Housing: Ensure Access to Healthy Homes
DESCRIPTION:Register   here\nFREE \nJoin Conservation Consultants Inc. (CCI)\, for this Sustainable Community Development Network (SCDN) webinar brought to you by Sustainable Pittsburgh and Local Government Academy to learn how communities can mitigate the sometimes deadly problems caused by lead\, radon\, and mold in our homes.  CCI’s new report\, “The Case for Healthier Homes: Recommendations for the Pittsburgh Region\,” and accompanying outreach material: poster\, paper summary\, petition are designed to help community officials\, local child care providers\, renters and home owners fully understand the problem–and learn about existing resources\, innovative actions\, trends\, and best practices that are being utilized around the country and beyond. \nEnsuring healthy\, efficient housing for all residents in your community is a priority for public officials.  Our region’s residences have three key health hazards: lead\, radon and mold\, which are frequently amplified by the age of the house or rental unit.  A full eighty-two (82) percent of Allegheny County homes were built before 1978\, when lead was a common ingredient in paint.  Lead exposure to children can result in developmental delays\, reduced IQ\, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)\, and other issues.  In addition\, Allegheny County and Western Pennsylvania homes are statistically likely to have radon counts above the EPA-recommended level.  Long-term radon exposure can result in lung cancer\, and radon causes more deaths per year in the United States than drunk driving.  Mold can occur in any home wherever there is moisture\, causing asthma\, obstructive lung disease\, and lung infections.  It can result from roof leaks\, poor foundation drainage\, or improper air-sealing\, and mold problems disproportionately impacts low-income and minority households. \nConservation Consultants Inc. (CCI)\, is a nonprofit organization based on the South Side of Pittsburgh\, that oversees more than 4\,000 home evaluations each year.  The Allegheny County Health Department Lead Task Force recently published its own recommendations for lead mitigation as well.  Alison Steele\, Director of Community Outreach and Advocacy at CCI\, and Jeaneen Zappa\, CCI’s Executive Director\, will discuss the issues and potential solutions for local governments.
