The panel will explore the questions, “How will climate change affect our national security and what should we be doing about it NOW? “ It will provide information for volunteers to use in meetings with MoC’s offices on Lobby Day and in grass roots efforts at home. LtGen Castellaw will address the issue from two perspectives, his extensive military career and his experience since then as CEO of Farmspace Systems LLC in communicating common values with farmers and rural communities. Roger Sorkin will discuss his new organization, the Tidewater Security Project, which harnesses the power of film to move leaders and fellow citizens toward strengthening our national security against the greatest environmental threats civilization has ever faced.

Climate Change and Labor - Challenges and Opportunities
Friday Jun 24, 2016
Friday Jun 24, 2016
Support from organized labor will be important to Congress passing our legislation. Two of our panelists will help us to understand how labor and unions see climate change and the challenges and opportunities it presents, and will share how their organizations are helping workers to address them. Our third panelist is a RN and Certified Nurse-Midwife who works with other nurses in the U.S. and globally on a variety of environmental health issues including climate change. We may learn information which can help us in our lobbying on Tuesday.

Climate & Weather: How Do They Connect?
Friday Jun 24, 2016
Friday Jun 24, 2016
Scientists are sometimes asked if a weather catastrophe was “caused” by climate change. Their answers can cause more confusion than clarification, because there is no single cause for any weather event. Every such event arises from the interplay of many factors, one of which is the excess global heat buildup we call climate change. But what role does it play in specific events? Our esteemed panel of climate scientists will help unravel the mysteries behind this vital question.

Getting Everything Right: Ambitious Global Climate Action after Paris
Friday Jun 24, 2016
Friday Jun 24, 2016
The Paris Agreement brings all 195 nations that are parties to the 1992 UN Climate Convention into an active role in combatting climate change. It adds new principles to international law—like adherence to intergenerational equity and coherence of direction in decarbonization—and sends the strongest signal the world has yet seen to investors everywhere to change practices and eliminate climate damage from their activities. Learn how innovative carbon pricing, innovative global governance strategies, and innovative modes of citizen engagement are bringing us closer to a genuinely ambitious global climate response

Climate Justice
Friday Jun 24, 2016
Friday Jun 24, 2016
The environmental and climate justice movement is one that holds an utmost importance to the fight for a livable climate. During this session we will hear from three unique organizations to better understand where they see the climate justice movement at now, and where they see it going in the future and what the major issues they see currently facing the communities they represent are. The panels goal is that we can all come away with a deeper understanding of this movement and begin to work towards some productive and respectful partnerships going forward.

From the Arctic to the Amazon Protecting Vulnerable Places and Populations
Friday Jun 24, 2016
Friday Jun 24, 2016
Although climate change is everywhere, its impacts are borne unevenly, and those most vulnerable bear the harshest consequences. We will illuminate the chains of cause and effect linking global warming to ongoing disruptions in the Arctic, the Amazon, and to the avian populations that rely on rainforests, arctic habitats, and everywhere in between. Having broken the planetary carbon cycle, and in addition to reducing sources of carbon (by for example pricing carbon) we must repair carbon sinks that we’ve damaged and prevent future damage. From this perspective, we’ll take a brief look at the role of the Arctic and forests in terms of what’s happening now and opportunities for restorative action.

Friday Jun 24, 2016
Friday Jun 24, 2016
The oceans play an important role in the earth’s climate system, absorbing both heat and carbon While these processes act to mitigate the effects of global warming, they are not without their own consequences. In this session, panelists will discuss some of the impacts on ocean circulation, sea level rise, ocean acidification, and marine life. The panel will also explore how reductions in greenhouse gas emissions would help mitigate these effects.
