The objective of our Incorporating Sustainability into Management Systems Workshop is to provide participants with an “in-house” perspective on how to integrate sustainability into your organization through your management system. All organizations have management systems for economics, social, health and safety and environmental aspects. Here you will learn how to leverage what you have, better communicate within the organization, identify relevant metrics, and package it all up in a management system. We hope you join us in person and are prepared to engage with your own lessons learned, examples, and ideas.

How does climate change affect national security?

There is strong consensus that climate change poses a threat to national security, but what does that mean to Coloradans? What is the nature of such threat and how can we prepare for a resilient future?

Truman National Security Project and The Alliance Center are delighted to invite you to a Climate+ National Security panel. We will be featuring prominent emergency management and military experts who will share stories and data to draw the connection between climate, natural disasters, infrastructure, migration, conflict and more.

Meet some of our panelists:

Leia Guccione - Leia Guccione is a Principal with RMI’s electricity and industrial practices, where she specializes in microgrids, campus energy systems, industrial ecosystems, distributed generation and storage, and renewable energy procurement strategies. Prior to joining RMI, Leia served as an officer in the United States Navy as a nuclear-trained Surface Warfare Officer. She served aboard the USS PEARL HARBOR (LSD 52), an amphibious Marine-transport ship, and the aircraft carrier USS RONALD REAGAN (CVN 76) and also served as a training manager for Commander Naval Air Forces – Pacific (COMNAVAIRPAC), where she provided training and strategy support for the five Pacific-based aircraft carriers in the US fleet.

Daniel Green - Daniel works as a policy analyst and on the incident management assistance team for the federal government.
