About our LAST Meeting:
This meeting was recorded on April 12th for the STAY COOL speakers series event titled “Careers for a Changing Climate”
Twenty years ago, it would be hard to imagine the types of careers that are so prevalent now. What effect is a changing climate having on research and innovation? What other jobs will be needed to address health, safety, and infrastructure, and how will we effectively coordinate and communicate with each other? STAY COOL is proud to host a multigenerational event that will explore what is on the horizon for future jobseekers. Be a cool “elder” and share this information with younger generations! Cleantech San Diego, the Climate Science and Policy program at Scripps Institution of Oceanography, and Climate People will provide highlights from their organizations.

About our PAST Meetings:
This webinar will introduce you to some of the exciting possibilities just off the San Diego and California shores. You’ll learn about innovative programs from the Port of San Diego centered around aquaculture in the unseen ecosystems off the coast, CalWave’s energy wave pilot program off Scripps Pier with the potential to harness the world’s largest unused renewable resource, and California’s new initiative to generate at least 20 GW from offshore wind by 2045. San Diego is poised to become a center of this growing blue economy. This event features moderator Dr. Kaitlyn Lowder, The Ocean Foundation and speakers Paula Sylvia, Port of San Diego, Julie Mai, CalWave and Rhetta deMesa, California Energy Commission.

STAY COOL for Grandkids along with co-sponsors San Diego Audubon Society and St. Bart’s Episcopal Church – Environmental Stewardship Team hosted “Landscapes for Life: Nature-based Solutions for a Changing Climate” on Thursday, May 26, 2022.
Planners and environmental experts have highlighted the many benefits of “nature-based” solutions that will both reduce GHG emissions and make our water infrastructure more resilient to the impacts of climate change. In this webinar we heard from three experts about nature-based solutions such as community gardens, backyard gardens, and water harvesting systems, and how they can help us do our part at both a community scale and a neighborhood scale. Speakers included: Brook Sarson (pre-recorded video), CatchingH2O, Joseph Rivera, Conservation Manager, San Dieguito River Valley Conservancy and Paul L. Watson, Jr., MSHS, President/CEO, Global Action Research Center. Click here to watch the May 26 2022 video on our YouTube account.
