New conservation strategies including planting trees as windbreaks and shelterbelts would come to characterize a farm-based conservation civil defense through a series of climate\, weather\, soil\, disease\, drought\, and pesticide studies conducted in the 1950s and 1960s. These trees of defense represented a significant embrace of alternative agricultural strategies\, moving their efforts from a rescue science to semi-permanent environmental fortifications. \nDiscussant Bill Romme\, professor emeritus of forestry and fire ecology at CSU. \nRSVP at Nicholas.Young@colostate.edu URL:https://sustainability.colostate.edu/event/prairie-fortified-shelterbelts-and-conservation-in-the-great-plains/ LOCATION:NESB B218 – Swift Conference Room\, 1231 East Dr\, Fort Collins\, CO\, 80521\, United States ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://sustainability.colostate.edu/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/03/Screenshot-2026-03-30-at-11.37.16-AM.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Denver:20260409T163000 DTEND;TZID=America/Denver:20260409T180000 DTSTAMP:20260401T160838Z CREATED:20260325T203756Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260401T160838Z UID:15540-1775752200-1775757600@sustainability.colostate.edu SUMMARY:Managing the Planet | People\, Place\, & Planet : The Local Face of Climate Vulnerability DESCRIPTION:Climate change is often talked about in global terms\, rising seas\, shifting temperatures\, and planetary tipping points. But its impacts are felt close to home\, in our neighborhoods\, watersheds\, farms\, and communities. This panel brings together leading scholars in environmental ethics\, climate adaptation\, and social vulnerability to explore what climate change means here\, for the people and places of northern Colorado and beyond. How do local communities bear risks they did little to create? What does a just and meaningful response look like? And what do we owe one another as the climate continues to shift? Join us for an honest\, grounded conversation about the human face of our changing planet.  \nPanelists: \nKaren Bailey\, Assistant Professor\, Department of Environmental Studies\, CU Boulder \nPatricia Romero-Lankao\, Canadian Excellence in Research Chair of the Network for Equity in Sustainability Transitions (CERC NEST)\, University of Toronto Scarborough \nDavid Schlosberg\, Director of the Sydney Environment Institute and Professor of Environmental Politics\, University of Sydney \nKen Shockley\, Professor and Chair\, Department of Philosophy\, CSU \nSarah Walker\, Assistant Professor\, Department of Human Dimensions of Natural Resources\, CSU \nModerator: Dale Lockwood\, Assistant Professor\, Department of Biology and School of Global Environmental Sustainability URL:https://sustainability.colostate.edu/event/managing-the-planet_4-09-2026/ LOCATION:Avogadro’s Number\, 605 S.

We’ll start with some lightly facilitated discussion on a timely topic related to sustainability to spark discussion\, followed by time to socialize\, catch up\, and meet others. Drop in or out any time during the hour. \nFor our April event: Can pollinators serve as “gateway bugs” for tackling broader conservation issues like habitat restoration and climate adaptation? Coloradoans approve of pollinators more than they approve of the habitats pollinators need – how do we correct that misalignment (and are pollinators themselves the best vehicle? Or are other approaches like water conservation more effective?)? Conversation facilitated by John Mola\, Department of Forest and Rangeland Stewardship. \n  \n\n\n \n \n Sustainable Futures Community Coffee RSVP\n RSVP form for School of Sustainable Futures community coffee \n \n Name*\n \n \n \n First\n \n \n \n \n Last\n \n \n Email*\n \n Attending?*\n \n \n Yes\n \n \n \n No URL:https://sustainability.colostate.edu/event/soges-community-coffee-hour_4-28-2026/ LOCATION:Johnson Hall room 108\, 950 Libbie Coy Way\, Fort Collins\, CO\, 80523\, United States ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://sustainability.colostate.edu/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/02/Green-and-White-Nature-Coffee-Quote-Instagram-Post-2.png ORGANIZER;CN="Laura Shaver":MAILTO:laura.shaver@colostate.edu END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Denver:20260507T150000 DTEND;TZID=America/Denver:20260507T170000 DTSTAMP:20260429T152043Z CREATED:20260429T152043Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260429T152043Z UID:15628-1778166000-1778173200@sustainability.colostate.edu SUMMARY:School of Global Environmental Sustainability Spring Open House DESCRIPTION:We are excited to invite you to a special Open House event that celebrates the achievements of the School of Global Environmental Sustainability (SoGES)\, while also looking ahead to the promising future we are building together. \nThere will be remarks beginning at 3:15pm with a highlight of accomplishments\, exciting new directions for the School\, along with insights from other invited guest speakers. \nRefreshments will be provided. \nNo RSVP required\, open to the public URL:https://sustainability.colostate.edu/event/openhouse_spring2026/ LOCATION:Iris and Michael Smith Alumni Center\, 701 W Pitkin\, Fort Collins\, CO\, 80521\, United States ORGANIZER;CN="Laura Shaver":MAILTO:laura.shaver@colostate.edu END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Denver:20260929T150000 DTEND;TZID=America/Denver:20260929T160000 DTSTAMP:20260903T173036Z CREATED:20260903T171455Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260903T173036Z UID:16600-1790694000-1790697600@sustainability.colostate.edu SUMMARY:Climate Currents: Teaching Climate Across the Curriculum | Webinar 1 DESCRIPTION:Climate Currents: Teaching Climate Across the Curriculum\nWebinar 1: Real examples of climate integration in Humanities & Social Sciences \nWhat does it look like to bring climate into courses beyond the sciences?
