This not-yet-detected germ has the potential to wipe out millions of lives over a matter of weeks or months.” Join Dr. Quick and Mary Yntema to discuss what has changed since his Great Decisions talk, how effective local and global efforts have been in combating COVID-19, and what we can expect in the coming weeks and months.

The Internet is the largest thing that humanity has built. A Huawei consultant predicts that by 2030, communications technologies could consume 51% of global electricity and emit 23% of greenhouse gas emissions. And yet, the Internet’s footprint remains largely invisible and unregulated. Katie Singer will report on the Internet’s main energy guzzlers and some of the toxic waste-emitting supply chains of each smartphone’s 1000+ substances. She’ll also spell out how manufacturers, service providers, policy makers and individuals can each do their part to reduce the Internet’s footprint.
A long-time resident of Santa Fe, writer Katie Singer spoke about the Internet’s footprint on a panel with the climatologist Dr. James Hansen and at the United Nation’s 2018 Forum on Science, Technology & Innovation. Visit www.ourweb.tech for more info.

2020-04-29 13:00 - 14:00
While the U.S. has been the most recent epicenter of the raging corona virus, every part of the world has been turned upside down by the pandemic. From nationwide lockdowns lasting over a month, to mandatory temperature checks in order to leave one’s home, to facial recognition that can discern people wearing face masks, to excessive use of force by law enforcement and security forces, to the dangerous plight of prisoners and detainees forced to live in overcrowded conditions – these are just some of the human rights challenges in the age of COVID-19 – all of which have serious impacts on human rights.

What actions are nations taking to prevent the spread of the corona virus?
How are States of Emergency affecting human rights around the world?
Are there any nations that are curbing the spread of the corona virus without sacrificing human rights?
Is it possible to reopen society and the economy without violating the right to privacy and other human rights?
What actions must the U.S. and international community take to address the human rights impact of the coronavirus pandemic?

Speakers Include:

Francisco Bencosme, Asia Advocacy Manager
Daniel Balson, Eurasia Advocacy Director
Philippe Nassif, Middle East and North Africa Advocacy Director

Climate Change | Cover to Cover Webinar

COVER TO COVER
Featuring Michael Klare on May 14, 2020
Register now for WACA’s Cover to Cover conference call on Thursday, May 14, at 2:00-2:30 PM ET, featuring Michael Klare, Senior Visiting Fellow at the Arms Control Association and Professor Emeritus of Peace and World Security Studies at Hampshire College.
All Hell Breaking Loose: The Pentagon’s Perspective on Climate Change
Of all major institutions in American society, none take climate change as seriously as the U.S. military and the Pentagon. Drawing on previously obscure reports and government documents, renowned security expert Michael Klare shows that the U.S. military sees the climate threat as imperiling the country on several fronts at once. The military now regards climate change as one of the top threats to American national security, and is busy developing strategies to cope with it.
