Environment

Please join us as our visiting researcher, Patrick Driscoll, from Aalborg University-Copenhagen, presents how climate change mitigation and adaption planning is being used in Copenhagen as an guiding principle for sustainable urban development in two areas of the city, Sankt Kjelds Climate Quarter and the North Harbor re-development project. The City of Copenhagen has a goal of climate neutrality by 2025 and climate resilience by 2030, and has established an investment program of $660 million dollars (from both public and private investment) over the next 17 years to achieve those goals. Please join us on Wed June 5 to learn more. Please RSVP to Khanh Pham at phamkat@pdx.edu. Thanks!

This talk will explore the relationship between shared water resources and conflict and cooperation between Arabs and Israelis, and poses the question, "Does territory exist over which sovereignty has been sought politically or militarily, or which would be insisted upon in the course of current territorial negotiations, solely because of its access to water sources, and in the absence of any other compelling strategic or legal rationale?"
