SUMMARY:Another Case for Green Energy Sovereignty
DESCRIPTION:By far the main contributor to global greenhouse gas emissions is the extraction\, processing and combustion of fossil fuels. This makes clear that understanding energy issues is fundamental to understanding and solving the climate crisis. \nThis month’s SOCAN General Meeting will feature SOCAN Executive Director Daniel Scotton presenting\, “Geopolitics & Our Energy Supply: Another Case for Green Energy Sovereignty.” This talk will examine the growing instability surrounding global fossil fuel markets\, how international transportation and supply chains influence energy prices\, and why recent disruptions highlight the need for greater electrification and local energy resilience. \nFrom international conflict to shipping bottlenecks and market volatility\, energy systems are increasingly tied to geopolitical uncertainty. This presentation will explore why transitioning toward renewable energy and regional energy independence is not only a climate solution\, but also an economic and community stability strategy for Southern Oregon and beyond. Scotton is discussing yet another reason that Oregon should be heavily and rapidly investing in its clean energy supply. \nThere is no charge for attending SOCAN events.

SUMMARY:Do You Have a Right to a Safe\, Healthy Environment?
DESCRIPTION:Do you think the Oregon Constitution gives you the right to a safe and healthy environment? If so\, think again. As an Oregonian\, you do not. Even though the constitutions of more than three quarters of the countries on earth have explicit reference to environmental rights or responsibilities\, in the United States\, only if you live in Hawaii\, Illinois\, Massachusetts\, Montana\, Pennsylvania\, or Rhode Island\, is your right to a healthy environment constitutionally protected. \nThe Oregon Coalition for an Environmental Rights (OCERA) Amendment seeks to remedy this oversight. Melissa Martin\, Coordinator of the educational and ballot initiative efforts of OCERA will be visiting the Rogue Valley from March 31 through April 2 to offer a series of programs during which she will explore ‘Why an Environmental Rights Amendment’ and invite area residents to offer personal stories\, testimonies\, and feedback regarding local and regional environmental harms we have experienced from government action\, or perhaps inaction. \nSouthern Oregon Climate Action Now (SOCAN) is hosting a discussion on this issue at its March General Meeting with a guest speaker from Oregon Coalition for an\nEnvironmental Rights Amendment (OCERA). The meeting is a free\, public gathering. The meeting will be structured as a listening session focused on the Oregon Environmental Rights Amendment and its relevance to climate action. https://www.oceraunited.org/ \nRather than a traditional lecture\, this gathering will center community voices\, questions\, and concerns about what environmental rights mean in practice and how constitutional protections could shape climate policy\, accountability\, and long-term stewardship. The session is designed to inform future advocacy while ensuring community perspectives help guide the conversation. Email SOCAN with questions about this general meeting. \nAdditional OCERA programs will be offered throughout the region:\n• 2 p.m. Tuesday\, March 31\, at Mountain Meadows\, Ashland\n• 4 p.m. Wednesday\, April 1\, in the Science Theater at SOU\n• 5 p.m. Thursday\, April 2\, at Troon Vineyard and Farm\, 1475 Kubli Rd\, Grants Pass. Co-sponsored by Troon Vineyard and Farm.

SUMMARY:SOCAN’s Ashland CEAP Workshop Series Continues with a session on Compost
DESCRIPTION:In 2017\, the Ashland City Council passed a citizen led policy called the Climate and Energy Action Plan (CEAP). The goals of the plan were to reduce community greenhouse gas emissions and prepare the city to be more resilient to climate change impacts. As the Ashland Climate Collaborative notes on their website: “Eight years in\, the CEAP is still a great foundation for reaching our climate goals.” Over the intervening years\, residential awareness of the CEAP has decreased. In order to reverse that trend\, Southern Oregon Climate Action Now Executive Director Danial Scotton\, has facilitated a series of open public workshops during which aspects of the CEAP are discussed in relation to CEAP goals\, the current status of action\, and what needs to be done. \nThis is thee third workshop in the series will address the subject of Food Waste and Compost. This will be held in the Gresham Room of Ashland Public Library.

SUMMARY:Southern Oregon Wildfire Risk: The Climate Connection
DESCRIPTION:Fire and smoke have become an annual source of concern for Oregonians\, especially for those of us living in the Southwest. As wildfire trends become increasingly obvious\, questions about their drivers become more urgent. Yet\, many factors affect wildfire behavior and impact: forest management\, disruptions to fire’s natural role\, patterns of development\, and\, importantly\, changes to the climate. 
What do we know about how wildfires are changing\, the causes\, and options for climate adaptation? 

Dr. Chris Adlam\, Southwest Regional Fire Specialist with the Oregon State University Extension Service\, Southern Oregon Research and Extension Center\, will be the featured speaker at the August Southern Oregon Climate Action Now (SOCAN) monthly general meeting. Adlam will discuss how climate is influencing fire risk in the region\, what climate projections portend for our future\, and what steps we can take to minimize the risk. There is no charge for attending SOCAN events.

SUMMARY:How Climate Science Divides Us
\, How to Build Consensus
DESCRIPTION:An abundance of scientific evidence is readily available confirming the reality of human-induced global warming and its climate consequences – and the causes. There is also a wealth of evidence regarding what is needed to divert the current climate trajectory which threatens life on the planet as we know it. Given this evidence\, climate scientists and activists are frustrated and disappointed by the limited success of climate mitigation policies. \nDr Rob Winthrop\, a member of the Department of Anthropology at the University of Maryland\, has reflected on this conundrum and will discuss his thinking on the reasons for this failure. Dr. Winthrop’s presentation is the focus of the July Southern Oregon Climate Action Now free monthly public general meetings. \nWinthrop argues that climate change is not an environmental problem. It is a social problem with profound environmental consequences. While acknowledging the soundness of climate science\, he questions how the science has been used to shape policies around highly technical objectives (such as “net zero” emissions) that lack social salience and fail to build consensus. He suggests that we should encourage social mobilization for a climate-positive future around shared goals\, not beliefs (including a belief in human-caused climate change). Thus\, he thinks that rather than focusing primarily on reducing greenhouse gas emissions\, we should pursue climate action as a co-benefit of other socially desired goals\, such as energy efficiency and self-reliance.

SUMMARY:Redefining Sustainability for a Turbulent 21st Century
DESCRIPTION:John Giordanengo\, author of “Ecosystems as Models for Restoring Our Economies\,” is the featured speaker at Southern Oregon Climate Action Now’s February Monthly General Meeting. Drawing from three decades of experience and research in business\, economics\, ecology\, and conservation\, John H. Giordanengo explores the dynamic relationship between three governing components of highly complex systems — diversity\, energy\, and trade — to reveal a novel hypothesis on the structure of sustainable economies. The inspiration for his work is our economy’s sister system\, nature. Giordanengo offers a novel approach to achieving lasting conservation\, recognizing that humanity’s most serious concerns cannot be resolved by just environmental and social advocates. See more.

SUMMARY:Ashland City Council Votes on Climate Policy
DESCRIPTION:Ashland City Council will deliberate and vote on a pollution fee ordinance aimed to incentivize developers to build new homes with efficient\, electric appliances. The goal of the pollution fee is to ensure that the majority of new built homes in Ashland are built with the health of residents and the climate in mind. The ordinance is designed to improve indoor air quality and remove health risks caused by gas appliances in the home\, while contributing to Ashland’s climate goal of reducing emissions. If the ordinance is passed\, those who choose to install gas appliances in newly constructed homes will be charged an up-front fee based on the lifecycle of each gas appliance and its carbon emissions. The fee would not impact existing homes. This will be the first policy of its kind in Oregon.
