SUMMARY:What's the New Normal for Air Travel?  Ask the Experts from CVG & SPS
DESCRIPTION:Global aviation connects people and makes our world much smaller and accessible. But just like the events of 9/11 forever changed airport security protocols\, COVID-19 is changing how airports and airlines operate to ensure our health and safety. There have been many changes already established among world airports to protect our health\, but the guidelines are still being written as we learn more about this pandemic. In this Webinar\, Brian Cobb and Doug Goldberg will share some of the technological and procedural initiatives that are being developed at the world’s leading airports for this pandemic environment in North America\, Europe and Asia to help us return to a new normal. We will discuss some of the challenges and metrics surrounding global air travel\, discuss changing policies\, and present some of the experts’ forecasts and expectations about the future of air travel\, with the hope that we will regain the confidence to resume traveling again! \nFree to register!\n$10 Suggested Donation \nhttps://globalcincinnati.networkforgood.com/projects/98203-main-giving-page

SUMMARY:Immigration\, COVID-19\, and the U.S. Economy with Author Alfredo Corchado
DESCRIPTION:In a world ravaged by a global pandemic\, stay at home orders\, quarantine\, and social distancing practices are the new normal. Human movement around the globe has come to an almost screeching halt. However\, while national governments threaten the complete suspension of migration\, preventing people from moving across borders is not as obvious of a solution as it may seem\, nor as beneficial. \nAs Covid-19 continues to spread across the world\, with cases continuing to rise\, supply chains around the globe are beginning to take a hit. Most notably the food supply chain is beginning to strain. The meatpacking industry\, unable to accommodate proper social distancing protocol\, is experiencing a severe hit to their workforce. Farmers and agricultural businesses are taking to the fields after the winter season and need an abundance of able-bodied workers. But who typically fills these roles? Well according to the Department of Agriculture about half the country’s field hands\, more than a million workers\, are undocumented immigrants. \nWith administrations pushing for decreased migration across borders and the food industry pushing for more workers\, where does that leave the undocumented immigrant? Join us on June 25th with Mexican border correspondent and author\, Alfredo Corchado to take a deeper look at this issue\, the impact on our food supply\, and what it actually means to be an essential worker. \n  \nThis is a Zoom Webinar event. The event will take place from 12-1 p.m. EST on June 25\, 2020. The link will be sent to registrants in advance of the event. Please be sure to provide a valid email address with your registration.

SUMMARY:"Making Sense of a World in Crisis -- Through the Eyes of a Foreign Policy Expert"
DESCRIPTION:The World: A Conversation with Dr. Richard Haass\,\nPresident of the Council on Foreign Relations\n\n\nModerated by Dr. Richard Downie\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“This is a critical time to understand what is taking place in the world\, why it is taking place\, and how it will affect our lives\,” writes Richard N. Haass\, president of the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR)\, in his latest book\, The World: A Brief Introduction. The book provides anyone\, expert and non-expert alike\, with the essential background and building blocks they need to make sense of the global era we live in\, in which what happens thousands of miles away can affect our lives.\n\nGlobal literacy—knowing how the world works—is essential\, Haass argues\, “because we live in a time in which what goes on outside a country matters a great deal. Borders are not impermeable. The United States is bordered by two oceans\, but oceans are not moats. For better and for worse\, the so-called Vegas rule—what happens there stays there—does not apply in today’s global world.”\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAs the global spread of the novel coronavirus has shown\, “What begins at the local level can quickly become global\,” writes Haass. This time it is COVID-19. Next time it could be another infectious disease from a different corner of the world\, a group of terrorists or cyber-warriors dedicated to attacking us\, or a natural disaster caused by climate change. This is the new normal of the twenty-first century—one defined by\nglobalization.\n\n“While it is impossible to predict what the next crisis will be or where it will originate\, we can be sure it will come\, and those who read The World: A Brief Introduction will have what they need to understand its basics and the principal choices for how to respond\,” said Haass.

SUMMARY:Tempest-Tossed: Borders and Immigration - Global Leaders Online Program (High School Students)
DESCRIPTION:Week 4 (July 27-31): The devastation of the Second World War left seven to eleven million people searching for a new home; today there are over 70 million refugees or displaced people worldwide. Despite being signatories to the United Nations Declaration of Human Rights and its promise of freedom of movement\, today’s economic powers nonetheless vacillate between open\, semi-open\, and closed borders in their approaches to immigration from developing nations. Meanwhile\, San Diego lies a stone’s throw from the world’s second-busiest land-border crossing. In this session\, students will reflect on the challenges and opportunities posed by ever-increasing global migration and the ways in which state\, international\, and non-governmental organizations respond.

SUMMARY:America's Use of Force | Live Webinar Event
DESCRIPTION:America’s approach to the use of force has evolved so much since 1789 that the founders would no longer recognize it. From the Constitution to the War Powers Act to the Authorization for the Use of Military Force\, America’s military\, defense technology\, and enemies—not to mention its role in global security—have undergone profound shifts as well. Has law and practice kept up with the modern uses of force\, so frequently off regular battlefields\, in cyberspace\, perhaps even in space? This talk considers the frameworks political leaders use to make decisions about the use of force\, and whether those frameworks are sufficient to modern security challenges.\nRegister here: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_Z2s6YS5iTjOltuRt7_Mb3w\nRegistration is free\n$10 Suggested Donation

SUMMARY:Global Conversations DIGITAL: Food Security and Foreign Policy
DESCRIPTION:It is often said that foreign policy is about connecting means with ends. With perhaps a few exceptions\, most agree that the ultimate end of U.S. foreign policy should be a more prosperous\, sustainable\, and secure world. Yet today\, food security around the globe remains a pressing challenge\, especially in low-income\, conflict-prone\, and climate-affected areas. \nFollowing decades of decline in hunger\, the number of hungry people globally is once again rising – this trend made all the worse by the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. Patching up vulnerabilities in food systems remains paramount in ending hunger around the world and such trends pose challenges – some new\, some old – to U.S. foreign policy. \nHear from a panel of experts as they explore U.S. food security and current gaps in policy\, particularly as they relate to the effects of COVID-19. \nPanelists\n\nAsma Lateef\, Director\, Bread for the World Institute\nRob Paarlberg\, Associate at Harvard University’s Weatherhead Center for International Affairs and Adjunct Professor at Harvard Kennedy School\nAbigail Rockwell\, Director\, Office of Global Food Security\, U.S. Department of State\nCaitlin Welsh\, Director\, Global Food Security Program\, Center for Strategic and International Studies\nModerator: Tina May\, Chief of Staff to Land O’Lakes CEO Beth Ford\n\nThis event will be live-streamed on YouTube. Register below to receive the link. \nPresented in partnership with the Edina Senior Center\, Friends of the Edina Library\, Friends of the Minneapolis Central Library\, Hennepin County Library – Minneapolis Central\, Landmark Center\, Minneapolis Public Schools Community Education\, Plymouth Library\, and Washburn Library.
