For more information on NAP Memberships\, please email Rod Jacobs at rjacobs@nativephilanthropy.org. \nOur curated education sessions of virtual conversations\, panels\, and speakers represent the diversity of Indian Country and the experiences of Indigenous Peoples in what is now known as America. These sessions are designed for NAP members working in philanthropy and will focus on how philanthropy can operate differently to center Indigenous perspectives. \nThrough these sessions\, NAP is passing the mic to individuals\, Tribes\, and Indigenous-led nonprofits who are experts in their respective fields. This platform will foster an informed membership that will lead the shifting of the philanthropic sector in deeper\, more impactful ways that serve the people\, communities\, and causes they care about.

Forest and ecosystem restoration projects in these source water basins have the potential to protect and enhance water resources. However\, funding these projects at the pace and scale needed to meaningfully address risks to our water supply is challenging. Here\, we discuss how understanding water-related benefits of restoration projects can support increased funding through a conservation finance tool\, the Forest Resilience Bond (FRB). We explain this financing model\, present an example of a successful FRB project in the North Yuba watershed in Northern California\, and discuss how these projects can benefit hydroelectric utilities like Yuba Water Agency. In particular\, we explore the science of quantifying water-related benefits such as water supply enhancement and fire risk and how that knowledge can be leveraged to support an FRB. \nFind more details and a list of speakers here. \n  URL:https://sierranevadaalliance.org/event/water-seminar-series-conservation-finance-funds-water-supply-protection-3/ LOCATION:Zoom webinar ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://sierranevadaalliance.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/seminar-11-19-2021-1.png ORGANIZER;CN="Water Programs Sacramento State":MAILTO:wateroffice@owp.csus.edu END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20211119T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20211119T130000 DTSTAMP:20240329T010809 CREATED:20211117T232937Z LAST-MODIFIED:20211117T232937Z UID:8128-1637323200-1637326800@sierranevadaalliance.org SUMMARY:Water Seminar Series: Conservation Finance Funds Water Supply Protection DESCRIPTION:Funding water supply protection through conservation finance in the Yuba River watershed \nThe Office of Water Programs at Sacramento State presents the latest in its Water Seminar Series\, with guest speakers from Blue Forest Conservation and the Yuba Water Agency. \nIn the Western U.S.\, federally owned forests provide up to 52% of drinking water supplies\, but many are overstocked and at risk of fire\, tree die-offs\, and other disturbances.

Since 2000\, an average of 7.1 million acres have burned across the US\, more than double the average acreage that burned in the 1990s. In 2020\, wildfires burned 10.3 million acres in the US\, and roughly 60% was in California (> 4 million acres)\, Oregon (> 1 million acres)\, and Washington (> 700\,000 acres). At the same time\, more people are choosing to live adjacent to fire-prone wildlands. In California alone\, at least 25% of our 11 million residents live in the Wildland/Urban Interface (WUI)\, where development meets or intermingles with undeveloped wildlands. One consequence of this development is an accelerating loss of native biodiversity through habitat fragmentation. The home hardening and defensible spaces that we need to create to live safely near wildlands can also lead to habitat fragmentation. \nWe can compensate for clearing and building in the WUI by including native plants and wildlife resources in our landscaping. Native plants and wildlife habitat in the human “built environment” effectively create wildlife bridges\, or oases\, to support pollinators and many of the species they interact with. In this talk\, we will first briefly review home hardening and defensive space essentials for wildfire safety. In the remainder of our time we will explore characteristics\, installation\, and maintenance of native plants (keeping fire safety/readiness in mind) to mitigate for the negative impacts of habitat fragmentation. The wildfires we have been experiencing are traumatic; but we can use lessons learned to help communities become more wildfire ready and resilient\, while supporting the native wildland habitats that we love. Adrienne and Rachel will be giving examples of planting strategies using the specific plants that will be given away November 6th in Paradise. \nZoom Meeting https://cnps-org.zoom.us/j/84120115006Meeting ID: 841 2011 5006 \n  \nAdrienne Edwards\, PhD\, is a botanist\, plant ecologist\, garden designer\, and environmental consultant.

Since 2000\, an average of 7.1 million acres have burned across the US\, more than double the average acreage that burned in the 1990s. In 2020\, wildfires burned 10.3 million acres in the US\, and roughly 60% was in California (> 4 million acres)\, Oregon (> 1 million acres)\, and Washington (> 700\,000 acres). At the same time\, more people are choosing to live adjacent to fire-prone wildlands. In California alone\, at least 25% of our 11 million residents live in the Wildland/Urban Interface (WUI)\, where development meets or intermingles with undeveloped wildlands. One consequence of this development is an accelerating loss of native biodiversity through habitat fragmentation. The home hardening and defensible spaces that we need to create to live safely near wildlands can also lead to habitat fragmentation. \nWe can compensate for clearing and building in the WUI by including native plants and wildlife resources in our landscaping. Native plants and wildlife habitat in the human “built environment” effectively create wildlife bridges\, or oases\, to support pollinators and many of the species they interact with. In this talk\, we will first briefly review home hardening and defensive space essentials for wildfire safety. In the remainder of our time we will explore characteristics\, installation\, and maintenance of native plants (keeping fire safety/readiness in mind) to mitigate for the negative impacts of habitat fragmentation. The wildfires we have been experiencing are traumatic; but we can use lessons learned to help communities become more wildfire ready and resilient\, while supporting the native wildland habitats that we love. Adrienne and Rachel will be giving examples of planting strategies using the specific plants that will be given away November 6th in Paradise. \nZoom Meeting https://cnps-org.zoom.us/j/84120115006Meeting ID: 841 2011 5006 \n  \nAdrienne Edwards\, PhD\, is a botanist\, plant ecologist\, garden designer\, and environmental consultant.

What about costs from impacts to agricultural production and the risk to the global food supply? These are some of the important costs involved in estimating the costs of climate change damages\, a value known as the social cost of carbon. \nFrances C. Moore is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Environmental Science and Policy at the University of California Davis. Moore’s research focuses on the economic and social impacts of climate change. In particular\, she has worked across the climate sciences and economics to improve estimates of climate change costs in the agricultural sector and the loss of ecosystem functioning and extinction risk. The goal is to provide a better tool to predict the real costs of climate change by including things that add value to the health of the planet but may not have an easy-to-calculate price tag.

Her research bridges climate change science and environmental economics in order to better quantify the risks posed by climate change. \nRegister for this event here:\nhttps://www.eventbrite.com/e/march-25-2021-calculating-the-costs-of-climate-change-tickets-128929957975 \nZoom Link available during the scheduled date and time:\nhttps://ucdavis.zoom.us/j/91824967889 URL:https://sierranevadaalliance.org/event/winter-science-speaks-series-calculating-the-costs-of-climate-change-2/ LOCATION:Zoom webinar CATEGORIES:Webinars ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://sierranevadaalliance.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/ccc_0.png ORGANIZER;CN="UC Davis Tahoe":MAILTO:tercinfo@ucdavis.edu END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20210325T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20210325T130000 DTSTAMP:20240329T010809 CREATED:20201209T174427Z LAST-MODIFIED:20201209T174427Z UID:8890-1616673600-1616677200@sierranevadaalliance.org SUMMARY:Winter Science Speaks Series - Calculating the Costs of Climate Change DESCRIPTION:What are the costs if climate change increases the risk of extinction of plants and animals? What about costs from impacts to agricultural production and the risk to the global food supply? These are some of the important costs involved in estimating the costs of climate change damages\, a value known as the social cost of carbon. \nFrances C. Moore is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Environmental Science and Policy at the University of California Davis. Moore’s research focuses on the economic and social impacts of climate change.
