EBC Climate Change Program: The Challenge of Designing Systems for an Uncertain Climate Change Future
|
|
| February 26th, 9 AM - 12 PM |
|
|
This EBC Climate Change program explores the design and liability issues associated with designing resilient systems that are able to withstand increased demands due to climate change impacts. Traditionally, design professionals rely on historical data to design systems that have a 50 to 100 year timeframe. Due to the impacts of climate change, historical data may not be the appropriate basis of design for future systems. This EBC program will explore the dilemma that design professionals have in designing systems with uncertain design parameters. It will also explore the potential exposures and liabilities associated with designing for an uncertain future.

About Ceres: Ceres is a sustainability nonprofit organization working with the most influential investors and companies to build leadership and drive solutions throughout the economy. Through powerful networks and advocacy, Ceres tackles the world’s biggest sustainability challenges, including climate change, water scarcity and pollution, and human rights abuses. About our Summer Internship Program: Ceres actively seeks to engage interns in our work. We have a number of exciting projects going at any one time and find the logistical, research, analysis, and writing support of interns to be of great value. We also hope working here inspires the next generation of professionals to "transform the economy to build a sustainable future for people and the planet." We are looking for a mix of undergrads and graduate students. We have positions available from Agriculture Water Risk to Human Rights, Governance & Sustainability Disclosures, and Food Greenhouse Gas Emissions. Each February, Ceres advertises for our summer program. During March we conduct interviews and make placements. Our internship program runs for 10 weeks, from June 3rd to August 9th. Interns are expected to work full-time, M-F 9am - 5pm, in our office (remote opportunities are not available at this time). We also require proper work authorization, so international students would need to have proper work visas (we are unable to sponsor these at this time). We offer a stipend of $5,500, as well as provide a local commuter pass (MBTA in Boston, BART in San Francisco). We hire around 10-15 summer interns each year, and in addition to contributing work on important projects for their teams, they participate in planned events throughout the duration of the program where they can learn more about other areas of the organization, have professional development learning opportunities, and get career advise as well.

Food Waste Data Analyst Intern: The production and consumption of food constitutes the biggest environmental threat to our planet. Eliminating waste and shifting consumption patterns represents our biggest opportunity to establish sustainable and regenerative food systems. Addressing food waste is critical – from field - to fork - to landfill. WWF’s Food Waste program is focused on institutional engagement and behavior change with private and public-sector partners. Our goal is to increase the speed and scale of solutions that make a more sustainable future possible. We accomplish this by convening science-based, multi-stakeholder groups to build awareness and consensus around urgent issues and trends and develop approaches to advance innovation and accelerate change at scale. This internship provides an opportunity for an undergraduate student to learn more about environmental sustainability, specifically food waste prevention and recovery, by working on an initiative that is focused on analyzing global solutions related to food system efficiency and consumption. This internship will work directly with the Director and the Senior Program Officer of the Food Waste program and will support ongoing research efforts and in-depth data analysis, with specific focus on the hospitality industry and the food retailing industry.

Wildlands Studies Field Programs
|
|
We put the adventure into learning.
Wildlands Studies programs occur entirely in the field. Although not taught in a classroom, there are definite academic expectations: participation in discussions and activities, readings, exams, projects and presentations. There will also undoubtedly be long days, possible inclement weather, logistical challenges, and physically demanding conditions. This comes as well with unsurpassed personal rewards. You will get the most out of the experience if you bring along flexibility, ample patience, a sense of humor, self-motivation, and perhaps most importantly, the desire to work as a team towards a common goal.
