Presenters will include Mark Trexler (the Climatographers); Wil Burns (the Forum for Climate Engineering Assessment and past president of AESS); and Don Brown (Widener Law School).

Johnson (DAKJ LLC and SCC Advisory Council member) and Aris Papadapoulos (founder of the Resilience Action Fund), both leaders in ARISE: the Private Sector Alliance for Disaster Resilient Societies, will explain the basics of the Sendai Framework on disaster risk reduction and its relevance to broader sustainability issues. Debbra and Aris will emphasize the linkages between all three components of the 2030 Development Agenda, which, taken together, can serve as a comprehensive game plan for sustainable development. * What is SCC's process for Online Dialogues? We are developing a multi-part process that can be applied to any relevant theme or topic of interest to sustainability educators. Our Online Dialogue process combines key readings, expert-led webinars, interactive Q&A sessions on Collaborase<http://curriculumforsustainability.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=5defa2f49cf6dbf9856fb5b31&id=2d9d5d5633&e=36cbf5b484>, and the co-creation of a synthesis document into an integrated process. SCC's innovative approach offers sustainability educators a quick and credible means to become conversant with emerging trends, frameworks, and hot topics and to keep pace with developments in sustainability. We are facilitating this exchange of knowledge to bridge the gap between the sustainability practitioner/policymaker and educator communities, and thereby advance faculty and curriculum development for education for sustainable development (ESD).
