SUMMARY:WBUR "Business In The Era Of Climate Change" Series: Part 2: Food\, Diet And Climate
DESCRIPTION:A five-part WBUR series in collaboration with Harvard Business School and Boston University Questrom School of Business \nBusiness is the main source of the greenhouse gases that are causing the Earth’s climate to change. Business is also the main source of new products\, services and business models that may save us from wholesale climate calamity. This 5-part series\, featuring leading thinkers from business\, environmental advocacy groups and area universities\, will explore what businesses are doing\, can do and should do to confront climate change. \nPart 2: Food\, Diet and Climate \nThe food industry contributes a lot to the climate change problem\, but it also offers solutions. From sustainable supply chains to plant-based burgers with the taste and texture of beef and meat-like protein grown in the lab\, new foods are exploding onto restaurant menus and family dinner plates. What challenges are companies facing as they introduce these new foods into the marketplace? How fast can we expect these new foods to catch on? And what are companies that are known for serving traditional meat doing to reduce their carbon footprint? Is big agribusiness getting on board with these changes–or standing in the way? \nPanelists: \n\nBruce Friedrich\, Founder and CEO\, Good Food Institute\nAyr Muir\, Founder and CEO of Clover Food Lab\nDavid Perry\, Founder and CEO\, Indigo Agriculture\nNicole Johnson-Hoffman\, President\, Global Roundtable for Sustainable Beef\, former VP of Cargill\nModerator\, Barbara Moran\, WBUR Senior Producing Editor\, Environment\n\n

SUMMARY:WBUR "Business In The Era Of Climate Change" Series: Part 3:  Climate Politics And Business
DESCRIPTION:A five-part WBUR series in collaboration with Harvard Business School and Boston University Questrom School of Business \nBusiness is the main source of the greenhouse gases that are causing the Earth’s climate to change. Business is also the main source of new products\, services and business models that may save us from wholesale climate calamity. This 5-part series\, featuring leading thinkers from business\, environmental advocacy groups and area universities\, will explore what businesses are doing\, can do and should do to confront climate change. \nPart 3: Climate Politics and Business  \nIn the United States\, business has controlled the policy agenda for addressing climate change at the federal level\, and the result has been obfuscation and delay. Today more and more business leaders are voicing support of some form of carbon tax or other mechanism to put a price on carbon. What is driving industry action and where will it lead? What is the role for business leaders in climate policy? \nPanelists: \n\nWilliam Eacho\, Partnership for Responsible Growth\nMindy Lubber\, CEO\, Ceres\nAuden Schendler\, Vice President of Sustainability at Aspen Skiing Company\nModerator\, WBUR Environmental Reporter Bruce Gellerman\n\n

SUMMARY:Climate and Energy Legislation Program
DESCRIPTION:Learn About Pending Massachusetts Environmental and Energy Legislation and How to Engage with Legislators \nA full slate of environmental and energy legislation has been filed on Beacon Hill. There is a sense of urgency among legislators to take stronger action to meet Massachusetts’ climate change and clean energy economy goals. Leaders in both the Senate and House have stepped up. At a recent meeting of local elected officials\, we attended\, Senate President Karen Spilka called for “bold and pragmatic action” and said that every policy decision should be evaluated with a climate change lens. House Speaker Bob DeLeo proposed $1 billion in climate resilience funding for municipalities. \nWe the people have an important role to play by being informed and effectively advocating for action.  Join us on Thursday\, April 25th at 7:30 pm to hear from Dan Bosley\, Government Relations Executive for the Northeast Clean Energy Council (NECEC)\, and a former state representative from North Adams. \nWith nearly 25 years of experience in the legislature\, service at the Chair of the Joint Committee on Energy and having co-authored groundbreaking electricity restructuring and life sciences bills\, Dan understands the ins and outs of getting things done on Beacon Hill. He is an engaging speaker with a strong grasp of the issues and a deep understanding of what works when individuals\, businesses and organizations want to effectively engage with their legislators. \nDan will speak about current Massachusetts energy and climate legislation\, the path forward from here\, and how to make your voice heard.
