SUMMARY:CAWP's Annual Senator Wynona Lipman Chair in Women's Political Leadership with U.S. Senator Laphonza Butler
DESCRIPTION:The Power of Black Women’s Leadership in Politics\nU.S. Senator Laphonza Butler \nAppointed to the United States Senate by California Governor Gavin Newsome\, Senator Laphonza Butler has spent her career championing fairness and justice. For nearly two decades\, she was an organizer and leader in the labor movement. At just 30 years old Senator Butler was elected president of California’s largest homecare and nursing home workers union SEIU local 2015. She helped to orchestrate raising California’s minimum wage to $15 an hour and secure paid sick days for the state’s home care workers. As president\, she united the power of home care workers statewide\, growing the union’s membership to more than 325\,000 and making SEIU 2015 the largest homecare worker union in America. From working to expand retirement security by passing CA Secure Choice Retirement Savings program\, to efforts to improve health outcomes by passing legislation to protect children from cigarette marketing\, Butler has been able to work across traditional lines of difference in order to make progress on issues that matter. Prior to her appointment to the Senate\, Senator Butler was president of EMILYs list\, which is dedicated to electing Democratic pro-choice women. During her tenure\, EMILYs list recruited and supported over 600 women to run for elected office. \nRegister Here

SUMMARY:Evaluating sectoral decarbonization pathways for India’s net-zero ambitions
DESCRIPTION:You are invited to join Professor Mike Lahr for a guest speaker presentation by Professor Kakali Mukhopadhyay\, Ph.D. (she/her/elle)\, McGill University\, Montreal\, CANADA \nAssociated reading: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2667095X22000113 \nPAPER ABSTRACT: \nIn the first of its kind\, this study evaluates the socio-economic impacts of two ambitious decarbonization pathways for India (i) aligned with India’s Nationally Determined Commitments (NDC) negotiated through the Paris Agreement in 2015 and (ii) more ambitious NDC plus decarbonization trajectory aligned with India’s recent COP26 commitments at subnational level. The analysis uses a newly developed dynamic macro-econometric regional simulation model – E3-India to evaluate changes in key economic and emission parameters due to energy transition at both national and state levels for India. Impacts on emission intensity of the economy\, GDP\, employment and income are assessed to highlight the larger macro-economic and regional distributive impacts of existing NDC targets for India. \nThe results provide three key insights\, (i) overall socio-economic impacts of committing to an ambitious decarbonization trajectory primarily articulated through NDCs for India will be positive\, but the transition trajectory will have unequal distributive impacts across states and sectors. (ii)The NDC trajectories will have an expansive impact on the harder-to-abate construction sector so along with decarbonization of the energy sector\, the steel and cement sector would also need focused decarbonization measures. (iii) In the absence of policies promoting ‘Just transitions’ smaller coal-bearing states will be worst off\, stuck with the expansion of only primary and extractive mining sectors while high renewable energy potential states will show expansion in technology-focused sectors and high skilled sectors. \nBIO: \nKakali Mukhopadhyay is an Associate Professor for the Agricultural Economics Program (Department of Natural Resource Sciences) at McGill University\, Montreal\, Canada. She is a former Professor of Economics at Gokhale Institute of Politics and Economics (GIPE)\, Pune\, India and Adjunct Professor/Senior Fellow associate at McGill University\, Department of Agricultural Economics (2016-23).

SUMMARY:Leveraging Data-Driven Methods and Time-of-Use Data to Evaluate Urban Decarbonization Policies and Streamline Building Energy Audits
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Dr. Abigail Andrews\, Post-Doctoral Associate and NJ BPU Energy Fellow in Edward J. Bloustein School of Planning and Public Policy’s Center for Urban Policy Research.  \nIdentifying opportunities to minimize energy use and carbon emissions of buildings is important for urban decarbonization. However\, doing so often necessitates a capital-intensie building energy audit that requires time-intensive on-site inspections. As municipalities across the United States mandate various urban decarbonization policies (e.g.\, benchmarking\, audits\, and building performance standards) there is a growing need for building owners to audit buildings efficiently and at a low cost. Emerging data streams (e.g.\, automated meter infrastructure) allow the evaluation of real time energy use and carbon emissions data. This data not only provides a deeper understanding into building operations but also may provide audit insights and decarbonization opportunities. This seminar will discuss the potential of integrating time-of-use data in urban decarbonization policy and the development of an integrated physics-based model and data-classification method to identify potential inefficiencies in a building using electric meter data. Time-of-use energy data paired with machine learning may streamline urban decarbonization policy by improving the effectiveness and scalability of evaluation processes. \nDr. Andrews received her PhD in Civil and Environmental Engineering from Stanford University at the Urban Informatics Lab. She also holds a MS in Sustainable Design and Construction from Stanford University and a BA in Environmental Policy from Barnard College. Dr. Andrews uses data from building energy policies (e.g.\, benchmarking\, building performance standards\, auditing) to evaluate urban decarbonization potential and to push forward equitable building decarbonization. Currently\, Dr. Andrews is interested in how municipalities can encourage the design and construction of Grid-Interactive Efficient Buildings. \nFor questions Dr. David Coit (coit@soe.rutgers.edu)\, Dr. Aziz Ezzat (aziz.ezzat@rutgers.edu) or Dr. Elin Wicks (elm52@soe.rutgers.edu)

SUMMARY:The New Jersey Safety and Health Outcome (NJ-SHO) Data Warehouse
DESCRIPTION:Allison E. Curry\, PhD\, MPH is an Associate Professor of Pediatrics at the University of Pennsylvania Perelman School of Medicine and a Senior Scientist and Director of Epidemiology and Biostatistics at the Center for Injury Research and Prevention at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP). She is an injury epidemiologist by training and her research focuses on the prevention of motor vehicle crashes and support of safe transport across the lifespan. \nDr. Curry and her team have spent the last decade developing the New Jersey Safety and Health Outcomes (NJ-SHO) Data Warehouse—a statewide data source of traffic safety and health data that includes 24 million NJ residents—and have published nearly 50 research papers using these data. They are now working to establish the NJ-SHO Center for Integrated Data to ensure important safety data is available to support traffic safety efforts around the state. Dr. Curry is also the principal investigator of a large research program to support driving safety for teens with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder and autism spectrum disorder\, their families\, and groups that support them during the learning-to-drive process.
