SUMMARY:Climate Migration with United States Institute of Peace
DESCRIPTION:  \nRegister Here \nThe links between climate change\, conflict\, and human mobility are complex. In 2022\, disasters internally displaced 32.6 million people\, more than at any other time over the last decade. Most of these displacements occurred in areas that are fragile or conflict-prone. In fact\, ninety percent of all refugees come from places that are some of the most vulnerable to climate-related impacts. Right now\, these fragile regions already grapple with increased food insecurity\, unemployment\, and competition over resources – particularly water. In what ways does climate change exacerbate such situations? In what ways may that lead to conflict or forced migration? \nIn partnership with Green Umbrella\, we invite students\, educators\, and community members for an evening exploring Climate Conflict and Climate Migration with Kayly Ober\, Senior Program Officer for U.S. Institute of Peace. \nKayly Ober is a senior program officer for the climate\, environment and conflict program at USIP. In this role\, she leads research and analysis on climate change\, migration and displacement as well as transboundary water and conflict issues. \nPrior to USIP\, she was the senior advocate and program manager of the climate displacement program at Refugees International. She also served as a member of the Task Force on Displacement established under the U.N. Framework Convention on Climate Change’s Warsaw International Mechanism for Loss and Damage. She has worked on climate change and migration issues for more than 15 years\, during which time she has held positions at organizations such as the Asian Development Bank\, the Overseas Development Institute\, the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars\, and the World Bank\, where she authored the flagship report “Groundswell: Preparing for Internal Climate Migration.” \nOber holds a master’s in environment and development from the London School of Economics and a bachelor’s in international studies from American University. She is currently completing her doctorate in geography at the University of Bonn\, where her dissertation analyzes policymaking and governance structures around the climate change-adaptation-migration nexus.

SUMMARY:An Evening with Samantha Power: Discussing “The Education of an Idealist”
DESCRIPTION:  \n\n\n\n\nSamantha Power will discuss her New York Times-bestselling memoir and offer insight on a range of pressing global issues.\n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout this Event\n\n\nJoin the Nancy & David Wolf Holocaust & Humanity Center for a virtual conversation with Samantha Power\, Pulitzer Prize-winning author and former United States Ambassador to the United Nations. In this intimate and thought-provoking dialogue\, Samantha Power will discuss her New York Times-bestselling memoir\, The Education of an Idealist\, and offer insight on a range of pressing global issues. \nThis memoir asks the question: What can one person do? At a time of upheaval and division\, Samantha Power offers an urgent response to this question —and a call for a clearer eye\, a kinder heart\, and a more open and civil hand in our politics and daily lives. \nThemes discussed in the memoir are aligned with social issues explored in the Humanity Gallery within the Holocaust & Humanity Center’s museum at historic Union Terminal. In The Education of an Idealist\, Power explains how she coined the term “upstander\,” and how we all have the opportunity to be upstanders in unique ways. Upstanders are individuals who stand up for others and their rights. They fight against injustice and unfairness\, and they use their character strengths to inspire action and become the best of humanity today. \n“Every day\, almost all of us find ourselves weighing whether we can or should do something to help others\,” Power writes in the book. “We decide\, on issues large and small\, whether we will be bystanders or upstanders.” \nHumorous and deeply honest\, The Education of an Idealist lays bare the searing battles and defining moments of her life and shows how she juggled the demands of a 24/7 national security job with the challenge of raising two young children. Along the way\, she illuminates the intricacies of politics and geopolitics\, reminding us how the United States can lead in the world\, and why we each have the opportunity to advance the cause of human dignity. Power’s memoir is an unforgettable account of the power of idealism—and of one person’s fierce determination to make a difference. \nThe Nancy & David Wolf Holocaust & Humanity Center is proud to host this event in conjunction with its Cincy Upstander Project. Through generous funding from the Carol Ann and Ralph V. Haile\, Jr./U.S. Bank Foundation\, the Cincy Upstander Project aims to inspire our community to become upstanders through a city-wide art campaign\, monthly programs\, museum tours\, giveaways\, and training opportunities. \nWhen you purchase the Special Admission Package ($30)\, you receive: \n• Admission to “An Evening with Samantha Power: Discussing ‘The Education of an Idealist’ and What It Means to Be an Upstander” \n• Your own copy of “The Education of an Idealist\,” provided by Joseph-Beth Booksellers and the Holocaust & Humanity Center \n• Exclusive access to HHC’s Book Club. Hosted by our museum staff in early March\, you can discuss the book in a casual format with other community members in preparation for Samantha Power’s lecture. \n• A chance to win Cincy Upstander shirts\, posters\, masks\, and museum tickets during HHC’s March giveaway event \nGeneral Admission\, without a copy of the book\, is $10. \nAbout Samantha Power \nSamantha Power is a Professor of Practice at the Harvard Kennedy School and Harvard Law School. From 2013-2017\, Power served as the U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations and a member of President Obama’s cabinet. From 2009-2013\, Power served on the National Security Council as Special Assistant to the President for Multilateral Affairs and Human Rights. Power began her career as a journalist\, reporting from places such as Bosnia\, East Timor\, Kosovo\, Rwanda\, Sudan\, and Zimbabwe\, and she was the founding executive director of the Carr Center for Human Rights Policy at the Kennedy School. Power’s book\, “A Problem from Hell”: America and the Age of Genocide won the Pulitzer Prize in 2003. She is also the author of the New York Times bestsellers Chasing the Flame: One Man’s Fight to Save the World (2008) and The Education of an Idealist: A Memoir (2019)\, which was named one of the best books of 2019 by the New York Times\, Washington Post\, Economist\, NPR\, and TIME. Power earned a B.A. from Yale University and a J.D. from Harvard Law School.

SUMMARY:Too Much and Never Enough: Climate Change and Water Insecurity - Our discussion with Ambassador Kenneth Brill
DESCRIPTION:  \nNational and international security\, stability and prosperity will face novel challenges in the coming decades.  Rivalry between the “great powers” (U.S.\, China\, and Russia)\, as well as between regional states\, will remain a feature of 21st Century international relations.  But novel transnational issues\, such as climate change\, cyber space\, and pandemic diseases\, will establish the context in which rivalries between states play out; at the same time\, these transnational challenges will require global cooperation to prevent them from becoming potentially existential threats to human well being. \n  \nClimate change is the most all encompassing of transnational threats. The natural world\, which is the basis for all human societies\, had adapted to one set of climatic conditions\, but is now adapting to new and still changing climatic conditions.  That adaptation\, the historical data show\, will change the nature and location of the global water supply\, whether frozen or liquid\, as well as sea levels.  This will lead to various kinds of water insecurity\, which\, in turn\, will increase state fragility and failure\, increasing the potential for instability and potentially domestic and cross-border conflict.  To give an example of the scale of the issue\, a 2015 National Academy of Sciences study suggested that an increase in global temperatures of 7.2 degrees Fahrenheit — a business-as-usual scenario — could lock in enough eventual sea-level rise to submerge land currently home to 470 to 760 million people globally by the end of the century.   Asia would be the hardest hit region\, but more than 20 million people would be affected in U.S. coastal areas.   \n  \nAmbassador (ret.) Ken Brill will discuss how climate change is producing water insecurity\, the various forms that insecurity can take\, what regions globally are most prone to experiencing water insecurity\, what the long term implications of growing water insecurity are\, how these issues are being addressed currently and\, and what more can be done manage water-related challenges to stability and prosperity. \n  \nAbout Ambassador Kenneth Brill\n \n  \nAmbassador (ret.) Kenneth C. Brill was a career Foreign Service Officer whose overseas posts were in Africa\, the Middle East\, South Asia\, and Europe.  His domestic assignments included African and Middle Eastern issues\, acting Assistant Secretary for the Bureau of Oceans and International Environmental and Scientific Affairs (OES)\, and staff jobs for senior State Department  policy officials.   \n  \nBrill served as Ambassador to Cyprus for President Clinton and Ambassador to the IAEA and the UN Office in Vienna for President George W. Bush.  In his final Foreign Service assignment\, he was asked by the first Director of National Intelligence\, John Negroponte\, to establish and lead the U.S. National Counterproliferation Center\, an organization providing strategic leadership to the U.S. Intelligence Community in countering the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction (WMD) and preventing WMD terrorism.  After retiring from the Foreign Service he has worked with non-partisan NGOs in various capacities on issues ranging from nuclear security and strengthening America’s diplomacy to fragile states and climate change.   \n  \nBrill is a graduate of Ohio University and received his MBA from the University of California at Berkeley. He and his wife\, Mary\, have two children and one granddaughter.  His op-eds have appeared in the New York Times\, the Washington Post\, USA Today\, Politico\, and The Hill.
