This paper goes further by reinterpreting\nma jor macroeconomic paradigms in terms of fundamental changes to\nenergy sup ply. \n\nThe three US macroeconomic paradigms of the twentieth century\, d efined\nby transformational economic shocks\, had distinct energy\ncharact eristics. The pre-Keynesian era (to 1929) was dominated by\ncoal\; the Key nesian era (1930-1973) witnessed substantial growth with\nunconstrained ac cess to abundant domestic oil supplies\; and the\nMonetarist era (after ~1 973) was energy constrained. Moreover\, the\neconomic shocks that precipit ated paradigm changes were rooted in\nchanges to energy supply. The Great Crash of 1929 followed from\ndiscovery of vast oil fields in the US Southw est. The collapse of the\nBretton Woods system in 1971 occurred in part du e to US peak\nconventional oil production\; and together they established the\nconditions for the First Oil Crisis of 1973. \n\nBIOGRAPHY \n\nChris has worked for over 25-years on strategies for addressing global\nclimate change\, drawing upon economics\, technology\, policy and\nindustrial ecol ogy perspectives. Most of his current work involves\nanalysis of national economies towards deep decarbonization. His\nprevious research helped the development of a standard approach for\ncity-wide greenhouse gas accountin g\, used to support climate finance.\nHis wider scholarship includes contr ibutions explaining the energetic\nbasis of the Industrial Revolution\, an d the Great Depression.\n\nChris was the inaugural chair of a new ‘green ’ Civil Engineering\nDepartment at the University of Victoria. He is a m ember of the Global\nCities Institute at the University of Toronto\, a mem ber of UVic’s\nInstitute for Integrated Energy Systems\, and a Fellow of the Canadian\nAcademy of Engineering. Chris is a former President of the\ nInternational Society for Industrial Ecology\; and has been a visiting\np rofessor at Oxford University and ETH Zürich. In 2011/12\, he was\nsecond ed to the OECD in Paris\, to support the Working Party on Climate\nInvestm ent and Development.

As the intensity and\nfrequency of extre me weather events are expected to increase\, it is\ncrucial to understand how fishers and fish resources are affected by\nit and how their daily res ponses contribute to their ability to adapt\nto changing weather condition s. Using a mixed method approach\, our\nfour-year research identifies and investigates the impacts\, response\nand adaptation strategies adopted by small-scale fishers in\nMoheshkhali and Patharghata upazila of Bangladesh to deal with extreme\nweather events and mega development projects.\n\nSPE AKER: Samiya Selim| Director and Professor of the Center for\nSustainabl e Development\, University of Liberal Arts\, Bangladesh. \n\nWatch this  webinar live and participate in its Q&A session\n[https://youtube.com/liv e/S2Yau4PPTnM?feature=share]\n\n  DTSTAMP:20260423T202649Z END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:69ea808978133 DTSTART;TZID=America/Toronto:20240126T080000 SEQUENCE:0 TRANSP:TRANSPARENT DTEND;TZID=America/Toronto:20240126T091500 URL:https://uwaterloo.ca/school-environment-enterprise-development/events/v 2v-food-and-nutrition-security-caribbean SUMMARY:V2V: Food and Nutrition In-(security) in the Caribbean CLASS:PUBLIC DESCRIPTION:V2V THEMATIC WEBINAR IN JANUARY:\n\nSmall Island Developing States (SIDS) are on the frontlines of climate\nchange and consistently r ank high on a range of risk and climate\nvulnerability indices. In this ta lk\, a socio-metabolic research (SMR)\nperspective will be adopted to anal yze the challenges of food and\nnutrition insecurity in the Caribbean. Fro m being a net exporter of\nfood\, the region underwent a transition in the 1970s and now imports\n83% of its total food requirements. Yet\, 67.5% of the population faces\nfood and nutrition insecurity\, in contrast to the global average of\n27.6%. What does this mean for the region’s food secu rity when\nsubject to shocks such as the Covid-19 pandemic? And where are the\nbarriers\, and opportunities for a transition from vulnerability to\n viability?\n\nWatch this webinar live and participate in its Q&A session \n[https://youtube.com/live/fNKo_cmgoSo?feature=share]\n  DTSTAMP:20260423T202649Z END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:69ea808978f9d DTSTART;TZID=America/Toronto:20230217T080000 SEQUENCE:0 TRANSP:TRANSPARENT DTEND;TZID=America/Toronto:20230217T091500 URL:https://uwaterloo.ca/school-environment-enterprise-development/events/v 2v-thematic-webinar-february SUMMARY:V2V Thematic Webinar in February CLASS:PUBLIC DESCRIPTION:This talk provides a high-level overview of the various tools a nd\nperspectives for undertaking gender-focused or feminist analysis in\nr esource sectors such as small-scale fisheries. Drawing from gender\nstudie s\, feminist political ecology\, feminist political economy\, and\npolitic al science\, this talk will dispel the idea that gender analysis\nmeans on ly focusing on women. It will show how understanding the many\ndimensions of gender roles and relations can improve the analysis of\nresource manage ment and economic activity\, expand our understanding of\nvulnerability an d empowerment\, and advance policy-relevant outcomes.\n\nTITLE OF THE WEBI NAR: Tools for Gender Analysis: Understanding\nVulnerability and Empowerm ent\nDATE: Feb 17\, 2023 (Friday)\nTIME: 1:00 PM UTC to 2:15 PM UTC (8:0 0 AM EST to 9:15 AM EST - 6:30\nPM IST to 7:45 PM IST - Convert to your l ocal time here\n[https://www.worldtimebuddy.com/])\nSPEAKER: Dr. Andrea M.

The motivati on\nbehind this talk is to discuss research that goes beyond the\nconventi onally defined domains of science\; the relevance of\nnon-expert-based kno wledge to offer solutions to complex social and\nenvironmental problems\, and the research that can bring significant\nimpacts on people's behavior by small endeavors.
