SUMMARY:Peabody Park Ivy Pull
DESCRIPTION:Every semester\, the Peabody Park Preservation Committee needs volunteers to help restore the native habitat of the Peabody Park woods on campus. We need your help removing invasive species like English Ivy and Bush Honeysuckle. We also need help collecting litter from the creek on the Northwest corner of campus. We can’t have too many people! There will be work for everyone! We can confirm service hours on GivePulse. \nThis event is only open to UNCG staff\, faculty\, students\, and alumni. Meet us at noon\, under the pedestrian bridge in the park\, near the Music Building. \nThe mission of the Preservation Committee is to 1) preserve and maintain Peabody Park Woods as a natural mixed hardwood forest characterized by species native to the piedmont of North Carolina\, 2) re-establish and maintain the fire-adapted Piedmont Prairie community of rare native wildflowers\, grasses\, and fauna dependent upon them\, 3) educate the UNCG community about species conservation\, and 4) oversee our annual re-certification of the Arbor Day Foundation’s Tree Campus Higher Education program.

SUMMARY:COP30: A Global Disappointment or Convergence?
DESCRIPTION:Observers billed the 30th Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP30) as an implementation conference. Its location in Belém\, Brazil\, sought to expose delegates to the complex political\, social\, and economic realities of preserving a key global biome in the fight against climate change and biodiversity loss. \nLike much of North Carolina\, the region can be both remote and urban\, agrarian\, and industrialized. Marginalized communities in the urban Amazon are often overlooked as key managers of the region’s precious resources. The conference’s final documents mentioned them and endorsed their action plans for the first time. But numerous high-profile protests and the conference’s failure to ratify a fossil-fuel phaseout led some observers to question the entire multilateral climate diplomacy process. \nSo\, was the conference a failure or a pivot? \nJoin prize-winning Brazilianist historian (and GES MSSE student!) Travis Knoll as he connects his COP30 experience to environmental justice organizing since the 1980s. Join the conversation with UNCG and international collaborators virtually or over sustainably-sourced vegetables and pão-de-queixo\, a Brazilian delicacy.

SUMMARY:Environmental Justice Film and Discussion Panel
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a screening of “Unbreathable: The Fight For Healthy Air\,” a film by Maggie Burnette Stogner that details the challenges we still face to ensure healthy air for everyone. Weaving historical milestones of fifty years of the Clean Air Act with current day stories of environmental injustice\, the film is an excellent catalyst for engagement and action. \nFollowing the 30 min. film\, we will be joined by Kennedy Williams of Clean Aire NC\, Dr. Valerie Ann Johnson of NC Environmental Justice Network\, and Dr. Bhuwan Thapa from the Geography\, Environment\, and Sustainability Department at UNCG for a panelist Q&A. \nIf you can’t attend in-person\, please register for the live virtual webinar option. \nFood and beverages will be provided. Sponsored by the Student Government Association and the UNCG Green Fund.
