SUMMARY:The Race to Mobilize International Climate Finance
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a conversation about climate finance ahead of COP29.\n\n\nAs global temperatures continue to rise\, so does the urgency for transformative climate finance to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions and adapt to climate impacts globally. But how the world will raise and wield the finance needed – some US$3 trillion a year globally by 2030 – remains fraught. \nPolicymakers are negotiating mileposts like the NCQG (New Collective Quantified Goal)\, an agreed amount developed countries will provide to developing countries for climate action. But the reality is that no matter what they agree\, it won’t be enough. The debate on how to reorient the global financial architecture to support climate-resilient development continues\, with the private sector expected to raise 70% of the trillions needed. \nCan the right regulatory and policy changes be woven into the world’s financial fabric to incentivize corporate action? Can private sector finance pave the way for a quick\, efficient\, and fair energy transition? What roles should civil society and multilateral institutions play? \nJoin Perry World House for this important conversation in the lead up to COP29\, “the finance COP” to learn how to think about these critical questions. \n\n\nSPEAKERS\n \nPaul Bodnar is the director of sustainable finance\, industry\, and diplomacy at the Bezos Earth Fund. He most recently served as global head of sustainable investing at BlackRock\, where he helped build the firm’s $500 billion sustainable funds business\, and also served as head of sustainability policy and engagement. \nPrior to joining BlackRock\, Bodnar held a variety of leadership positions in finance\, government\, and civil society. He was chief strategy officer and Executive Council member at RMI (formerly Rocky Mountain Institute)\, where he founded the Center for Climate-Aligned Finance. Paul served in the Obama White House as special assistant to the president and senior director for energy and climate change at the National Security Council. Prior to that\, Paul served at the State Department as U.S. lead negotiator for climate finance. \nEarlier in his career\, Bodnar was director for carbon finance at Climate Change Capital’s $1.2 billion carbon fund\, where he structured the fund’s largest investments. He was also co-founder and partner at Vertis Environmental Finance\, a leading European environmental commodity brokerage. Bodnar holds a BA from Stanford and an MA from Harvard. \n \nThilmeeza Hussain is the director of the United Nations Regional Commissions New York Office. She formerly served as ambassador and permanent representative of the Maldives to the United Nations and non-resident high commissioner to Canada since 2019. Alongside these roles\, she was co-chair of the Circle of Women Ambassadors to the UN\, led the preparatory committee for the Fourth International Conference on Small Island Developing States\, and was coordinator of the Gender Advisory Board of the president of the 77th UN General Assembly. From 2019 to 2022\, Hussain served as ambassador of the Maldives to the United States.  \nPrior to these diplomatic appointments\, she was an adjunct professor of sustainability at Ramapo College’s School of Social Sciences and Human Services. From 2009 to 2012\, Hussain was the deputy permanent representative of the Maldives to the UN\, working on issues including gender\, climate change\, and sustainable development\, but resigned after a coup d’état that overthrew her country’s first democratically elected government. Hussain holds a master’s degree in business management from Colorado Technical University and a bachelor’s degree from Murdoch University.

SUMMARY:Global Water Alliance 17th Annual Conference
DESCRIPTION:Hey there! Get ready for the 17th Annual Global Water Alliance Conference where experts will discuss the latest water solutions worldwide.\n\n\n17th Annual GWA Conference\nNature-based Solutions for WaSH: Resilience for Humans and Nature\n \nCo-hosted by Temple University College of Engineering\nThe Global Water Alliance’s (GWA) annual 1-day conference will address the power of nature as a promising and cost-effective strategy to strengthen climate resilience while pursuing sustainable development goals. What does “nature-based” mean when seeking access to safe water\, high-quality sanitation\, and opportunities to practice safe hygiene? \nNature-based solutions are intended to benefit the ecosystem while mitigating climate impacts\, improving water quality\, access to freshwater\, and quality of life. What once were strong water\, sanitation\, and hygiene (WaSH) practices need to be reevaluated and updated so that the ecosystem is not an externality. This is a paradigm shift in the way we define these problems and develop solutions. Our conference will explore how to create inclusive policies\, practices\, and technologies. Leaders in the field will discuss access to safe water for nature and humans\, as well as strategies for the integration of sanitation systems within their respective environments. \nWe welcome practitioners\, educators\, students\, and organizations to attend this interdisciplinary conference. Continuing education credits can be earned and there will be opportunities to network and participate in discussions. \nOur conference is conveniently scheduled the day before the annual Careers in the Water Industry organized by the Water Center at the University of Pennsylvania\, making it easy to attend both events. \nContinetental Breakfast and Boxed Lunch are included in ticket prices. \nGWA members receive a discounted conference rate. If you are interested in membership\, please visit our Membership Page before purchasing your tickets. \nVisit the Conference Website for more information including the Conference Agenda. \n——— \n \nNot able to join us in Philadelphia? You can attend virtually!\nThis is a hybrid conference with in-person and virtual attendees. As a virtual attendee\, you can watch the conference in real time and participate in Q&A through chat. Virtual attendees do not pay a registration fee. \nREGISTER HERE to attend virtually through Zoom.

SUMMARY:Constructing Representation: Approaches to Migration and Race
DESCRIPTION:Andrea Mitchell Center graduate student workshop\, featuring Ezekiel Vergara and Maryam Nahhal.\n\n\nThe Andrea Mitchell Center invites you to its second graduate student workshop of 2024-25\, featuring Maryam Nahhal of Johns Hopkins University and Ezekiel Vergara from the University of Pennsylvania. \nThis is a hybrid event  —  the Zoom links will be sent to all participants. \nPapers will also be sent to all registered guests. \nMaryam Nahhal is a fourth year PhD candidate in Political Science at Johns Hopkins University. She completed my BA in International Relations at Queen Mary\, University of London\, and my MLitt in International Security Studies at the University of St. Andrews. Her research interests include the political development of racial classifications and racialised precarity. Her current work focuses on the U.S. census and the racial classification of Arab Americans. \nEzekiel Vergara is a third-year Ph.D. student in the University of Pennsylvania’s Department of Philosophy. He completed his undergraduate degree at Dartmouth College\, where he studied Philosophy and Government. Prior to starting his Ph.D.\, Vergara worked at the Yale Program on Financial Stability\, where he studied governments’ responses to financial crises. Vergara’s research interests primarily lie in political philosophy\, ethics\, and metaethics. In political philosophy\, he is interested in global justice\, liberal political thought\, and debates about ideal/non-ideal theory. In ethics\, he is interested in the ethics of self-defense\, the ethics of economic foreign policy\, and our duties to future people. He also likes to think about relational accounts of morality and consequentialism. In metaethics\, he is interested in non-naturalism and moral disagreement. \nDoes Political Equality Demand That You Move?By Ezekiel Vergara \nSome representative schemes are population-sensitive. How much representation a group gets depends on the size of the represented population. Other representative schemes are population-insensitive. In these schemes\, how much representation a group gets does not turn on the size of the represented population.In this paper\, I am interested in population-insensitive schemes. I maintain that population-insensitive schemes lead to an unjustifiable inequality in political influence. Those who live in less populous areas are afforded more political influence than those in more populous areas. Like other causes of unequal political influence\, I think that we have an obligation to mitigate it. \nWhile there are different ways to mitigate this inequality\, I focus on Rearrangement. Such a policy encourages the redistribution of population\, such that each representative subunit has roughly the same population. To argue for Rearrangement\, I proceed as follows. In Section I\, I clarify my focus on political influence. In Section II\, I discuss cases in which we think that we ought to intervene to address unequal political influence. In Section III\, I suggest that we have the same reasons to address the unequal political influence that results from population-insensitive schemes. In Section IV\, I provide a sketch of what Rearrangement would require. Such a policy encourages the redistribution of population\, such that each representative subunit has roughly the same population. I maintain that such a program is not only practically plausible\, but also that it holds philosophical merits. In Sections V and VI\, I argue that it is not too demanding\, and it respects the value that liberals accord to culture. It also promotes the independent value of diversity. \nHomeland (In)Security and the racialisation of the Arab in AmericaBy Maryam Nahhal \nThe study of racial formation in the United States has generally ignored the role of Islam and Islamophobia in the construction of racial categories. This became exponentially more apparent after 9/11 with the substantial increase in surveillance\, unlawful detentions\, hate crimes\, and media rhetoric targeting Muslims and those perceived to be so\, as well as military interventions in sovereign countries in the Middle East. This paper seeks to understand the racialisation of a category of people that had hitherto been mostly absent from racial politics literature. I argue that predominantly Christian Arab immigrants enjoyed a relatively benign position within the US racial system in the first half of the twentieth century. While this position was not uncontested\, both by the courts and by the nativist backlash of the early 20th century\, the Christian Arab was granted legal status as white on the basis of a shared Christian heritage. It was not until the 1960s that the Arab\, while still officially white in legal instruments such as the Census\, lost the invisibility and protections that such whiteness had granted them. This shift is linked to the increased immigration of Muslim Arabs following the 1965 Immigration Act\, as well as the US’s increased interests and involvement in the Middle East during the Cold War\, which shaped its relationship with its own Arab population. I will show how the coincidence of a series of international conjunctures\, from the establishment of the state of Israel\, Johnson’s 1965’s Immigration Act\, the 1967 Arab-Israeli War\, the Iranian Revolution\, the 1970 oil embargo and other international crises drastically changed American perceptions about Arabs\, highlighting the impact of American foreign policy on Arab diasporas in the U.S. While significant\, 9/11 intensified and systematised existing patterns but it by no means instigated them.
