Incorporating Sustainability into Management Systems Workshop
Incorporating Sustainability into Management Systems Workshop
March 6, 2019 9:00 am - 11:00 am
CDPHE, Building C, Room C1E
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.

Raise Your Voice for the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge!
Raise Your Voice for the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge!
March 7, 2019 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm
Raise your voice for the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge!
What: Community Hearing to Defend the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge
When: Thursday March 7th, 2019, 6pm - 8pm
Where: The Alliance Center, in the Sustainability Center room. 1536 Wynkoop St, Denver, CO 80202
What is the threat?
The Trump Administration is barreling forward with its reckless plan to drill in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. This past December, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) rushed through a draft environmental impact statement (DEIS) on the impacts of fossil fuel development on the Arctic Refuge’s coastal plain. The DEIS fails to adequately evaluate the impacts of oil and gas activities on the exceptional ecological resources of the coastal plain and the indigenous Gwich’in peoples who have sustained their cultural and spiritual connection to the coastal plain for millennia. It wholly underestimates the devastating impacts fossil fuel development will have to threatened polar bears, the porcupine caribou herd, grizzly bears, wolves, hundreds of migratory bird species, muskoxen and countless other wildlife. What’s more, it turns a blind eye to the fact that the Arctic is ground zero for climate change, with temperatures in the region rising at twice that of the rest of the world.
A recent poll found that 70% of Americans oppose drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. Yet, BLM’s official public hearing schedule has been deliberately designed to limit adequate participation by the majority of Americans. Despite requests for additional hearings, BLM limited public hearings to Alaska and one in Washington, DC.
Where you come in!
If BLM doesn’t want to host public hearings outside of Alaska and DC, we’ll bring a community hearing to the people! We know Coloradans value protecting this iconic landscape, as do many of Colorado’s federal elected officials. We need your voice more than ever to stand with the Gwich’in and the wildlife who call the Arctic Refuge home.
Event Details – RSVP on Facebook! https://www.facebook.com/events/1109170165933229/
6pm-6:30pm: Panel - Hear from a panel of Arctic Refuge experts and those on the frontlines of the fight including Bernadette Demientieff, Executive Director of the Gwich'in Steering Committee; Garrett Reppenhagen, Vet Voice Foundation (Denver local); Len Necefer, Founder, Native Outdoors; and Greg Balkin, cinematographer and director of the Arctic Refuge film Gwichyaa Zhee.
6:30pm-8pm: Testify! Join the chorus of Coloradans against drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. Please keep your testimony to around 2 minutes to ensure everyone that wants to speak has the opportunity. We’ll have an official court reporter in the room to transcribe all verbal testimony which we will then submit to the BLM’s docket.
*Make sure to check out our information tables to take a trip to the coastal plain with or virtual reality
goggles!
*Food and drinks provided
8pm: After the hearing, you’re invited to attend a free screening of the short film Gwichyaa Zhee at the Patagonia store located one block from the Alliance Center (Patagonia’s located at 1431 15th St). The film centers on the Indigenous fight to protect public lands and was directed by our panelist Greg Balkin and features Len Necefer. Both will be available for Q&A following the screening.
Questions? Deanna Noël, Defenders of Wildlife: dnoel@defenders.org

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.

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.
