Desc	GREAT LAKES ENERGY FUTURE: A 4-PART WORKSHOP FOR JOURNALISTS FEBRUARY-MARCH, 2024 OVER THE NEXT THREE DECADES, DEADLINES FOR STATE AND FEDERAL CARBON NEUTRALITY PLEDGES WILL COME DUE. MINNESOTA HAS COMMITTED TO 100 PERCENT CARBON-FREE ENERGY BY 2040. ILLINOIS BY 2045. THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT IS STRIVING FOR NET-ZERO EMISSIONS BY 2050. MEETING THESE AMBITIOUS GOALS WILL REQUIRE DRAMATIC CHANGES TO OUR ENERGY AND TRANSPORTATION SYSTEMS IN A RELATIVELY SHORT TIME, BUT TIME ISN'T THE ONLY CHALLENGE. TRANSITIONING FROM FOSSIL FUELS TO RENEWABLES WILL COST BILLIONS, REQUIRE NEW SOURCES OF CRITICAL MINERALS AND NEED SKEPTICAL CITIZENS TO ADJUST TO SOLAR FARMS IN THEIR BACKYARDS AND WIND FARMS IN THEIR VIEWSHEDS. IJNR'S GREAT LAKES ENERGY FUTURE PROGRAM FEATURED A SERIES OF VIRTUAL ONE-DAY WEBINARS CAPPED OFF WITH A MULTI-DAY IN-PERSON WORKSHOP IN CHICAGO TO INTRODUCE A GROUP OF UP TO 20 JOURNALISTS TO THE CURRENT WORK BEING DONE TO CHART A GREENER COURSE IN AMERICA'S RUST BELT AND WHAT THESE EFFORTS MEAN FOR THE REGION AND THE COUNTRY. THE WORKSHOP EXPLORED THE POLITICAL, TECHNOLOGICAL AND SOCIAL DYNAMICS OF THIS TRANSITION THROUGH STATE AND FEDERAL REGULATORS, UTILITY REPRESENTATIVES, RESEARCHERS, LOCAL CITIZENS, EQUITY ADVOCATES AND MORE. WATER INFRASTRUCTURE WORKSHOP AUGUST 11-14, 2024 COMMUNITIES ACROSS THE COUNTRY ARE GRAPPLING WITH AGING WATER INFRASTRUCTURE, AND FOR MILLIONS OF AMERICANS A SAFE, RELIABLE WATER SUPPLY CAN NO LONGER BE TAKEN FOR GRANTED. FROM BOIL-WATER ADVISORIES TO LEAD SERVICE LINES TO RUPTURED WATER MAINS, UTILITIES STRUGGLE TO PATCH FRAGILE SYSTEMS TOGETHER. THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT HAS STEPPED IN TO HELP, WITH FUNDS FROM THE INFLATION REDUCTION ACT AND THE BIPARTISAN INFRASTRUCTURE LAW FLOWING INTO STATES TO TRY TO FIX SOME OF THESE PROBLEMS. MONEY HELPS, BUT SOME ISSUES ARE SYMPTOMS OF LARGER SYSTEMIC FLAWS, AND MANY STAKEHOLDERS SAY IT IS TIME TO RETHINK HOW WE MOVE, TREAT AND PRICE OUR MOST VITAL RESOURCE. IN AUGUST, THE INSTITUTE FOR JOURNALISM & NATURAL RESOURCES CONDUCTED A THREE-DAY WORKSHOP FOR JOURNALISTS THAT EXPLORED SOME OF THESE STORIES IN CHICAGOLAND, NORTHWESTERN INDIANA AND SOUTHWESTERN MICHIGAN. JOURNALISTS MET WITH POLICYMAKERS, WATER UTILITIES, ENGINEERS, COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS AND CONCERNED CITIZENS WHO ARE ALL WORKING TO KEEP THE TAPS FLOWING. LAND BACK: A VIRTUAL WORKSHOP FOR JOURNALISTS DECEMBER 11-12, 2024 LAND BACK HAS BEEN DESCRIBED AS AN EFFORT BY INDIGENOUS PEOPLE AND NATIONS TO RECLAIM LAND TAKEN FROM THEM DURING THE COLONIZATION OF NORTH AMERICA. BUT #LANDBACK IS ABOUT SO MUCH MORE THAN LAND: IT'S ABOUT INDIGENOUS PEOPLE REASSERTING SOVEREIGNTY OVER HOMELANDS, RESOURCES, SACRED SPACES, AND STEWARDSHIP CHOICES. AND LAND BACK IS GAINING MOMENTUM. FROM SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA TO MAINE AND POINTS BETWEEN, INDIGENOUS PEOPLE ARE USING A WIDE ARRAY OF TOOLS TO RESTORE THEIR HERITAGE. SOME TRIBES HAVE ESTABLISHED LAND TRUSTS TO ACCEPT TRANSFER OF PUBLIC LAND. OTHERS ARE USING LAND LEASES AND SIMILAR AGREEMENTS TO GAIN CO-MANAGEMENT STATUS OVER RESOURCES. STILL OTHERS BUY LAND OUTRIGHT. AS THE LAND BACK MOVEMENT GROWS, EACH NEW ADVANCEMENT RAISES A WIDE RANGE OF LEGAL, ECONOMIC, CULTURAL AND JURISDICTIONAL QUESTIONS THAT JOURNALISTS ACROSS THE COUNTRY MUST UNDERSTAND TO ACCURATELY REPORT ON THEM. TO PROPERLY PREPARE JOURNALISTS TO COVER THIS TOPIC, THE INSTITUTE FOR JOURNALISM & NATURAL RESOURCES, IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE INDIGENOUS JOURNALISTS ASSOCIATION (IJA) AND THE SOCIETY OF ENVIRONMENTAL JOURNALISTS (SEJ), PRESENTED A TWO-DAY VIRTUAL WORKSHOP. TOPICS INCLUDED: - WHAT IS LAND BACK? - THE HISTORY OF U.S. LAND APPROPRIATION - THE LEGAL LANDSCAPE - SOVEREIGNTY, REPATRIATION/REMATRIATION AND GOVERNANCE - SACRED SPACES - LAND BACK AND ANCIENT FOODWAYS - FIRE FOR ECOLOGICAL AND CULTURAL RESTORATION - REPORTING IN INDIGENOUS COMMUNITIES WESTERN WILDFIRE INSTITUTE MAY 5-11, 2024 IN SEPTEMBER 2023, THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION RELEASED A HIGHLY ANTICIPATED REPORT FULL OF POLICY RECOMMENDATIONS DESIGNED TO IMPROVE MITIGATION, SUPPRESSION AND MANAGEMENT OF WILDLAND FIRES IN THE UNITED STATES. NOW, POLICYMAKERS, SCIENTISTS, RESOURCE MANAGERS AND INDIGENOUS STEWARDS OF FIRE-ADAPTED LANDSCAPES ARE EXPLORING HOW THESE RECOMMENDATIONS CAN BE USEFUL - EVEN AS THEY ARE OVERRUN BY WILDFIRE SEASONS THAT START EARLIER, LAST LONGER AND CAUSE MORE DAMAGE THAN EVER BEFORE. IN OREGON, WILDFIRE HAS ADDED YET ANOTHER DIMENSION TO THE DISCUSSION. THE LABOR DAY FIRES OF 2020 BURNED LARGE SWATHS OF TEMPERATE RAINFOREST - THE LUSH, WET LANDSCAPE THAT LONG SEEMED RESISTANT TO MAJOR WILDFIRE CONCERNS. FACED WITH THIS NEW REALITY, OREGON POLICYMAKERS, FORESTERS, TRIBES, SCIENTISTS AND CONCERNED CITIZENS ARE RETHINKING HOW FIRE IS FOUGHT, PREVENTED AND - IN SOME CASES - USED TO ACHIEVE BETTER OUTCOMES, WHILE BIGGER, HOTTER FIRES KEEP COMING. THE INSTITUTE FOR JOURNALISM & NATURAL RESOURCES CONDUCTED A WEEKLONG INSTITUTE TO PREPARE JOURNALISTS TO COVER THIS INTENSIFYING ISSUE WITH A DEEPER UNDERSTANDING OF ITS COMPLEXITIES AND NUANCES. THE GROUP SPENT TIME ON BOTH SIDES OF THE CASCADE MOUNTAINS IN OREGON TO LEARN ABOUT: - THE IMPACTS OF FIRE ON FOREST AND AQUATIC ECOSYSTEMS - EFFORTS TO MAP OREGON'S WILDFIRE RISK AND UNDERSTAND DEVELOPMENT IN FIRE-PRONE AREAS - PUBLIC HEALTH AND SMOKE EXPOSURE - THE FINANCIAL AND SOCIAL COSTS OF EXTREME FIRES AND THEIR AFTERMATH - FIREFIGHTER WELL-BEING AND SAFETY - CULTURAL BURNING ON INDIGENOUS LANDS. CRITICAL MINERALS INSTITUTE OCTOBER 6-12, 2024 THE GLOBAL SHIFT TOWARD RENEWABLE ENERGY AND ELECTRIFIED TRANSPORTATION COULD INCREASE DEMAND FOR MINERALS AS MUCH AS 600 PERCENT IN THE COMING YEARS, ACCORDING TO EXPERTS, AND THE RUSH IS ON TO FIND - AND MINE - THOSE MATERIALS. ADDING TO THE URGENCY, THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION HAS PLACED A HIGH PRIORITY ON SECURING DOMESTIC SUPPLIES - HENCE THE TERM "CRITICAL OR "STRATEGIC" MINERALS - AND HAS BACKED THOSE EFFORTS WITH HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF TAXPAYER DOLLARS. BUT THESE EFFORTS TO STAVE OFF THE WORST IMPACTS OF CLIMATE CHANGE WILL NOT COME WITHOUT COSTS, AND IT WILL BE CRUCIAL THAT JOURNALISTS ACCURATELY REPORT ON THE IMPACTS OF THIS INCREASE IN DOMESTIC MINERAL PRODUCTION. TO HELP THEM UNDERSTAND THOSE TRADEOFFS, THE INSTITUTE FOR JOURNALISM & NATURAL RESOURCES CONDUCTED A CRITICAL MINERALS INSTITUTE, A FIVE-DAY, SIX-NIGHT PROGRAM BASED IN PHOENIX. PARTICIPATING JOURNALISTS MET WITH TRIBAL AUTHORITIES, POLICYMAKERS, SCIENTISTS, INDUSTRY REPRESENTATIVES, COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS AND CONCERNED CITIZENS AS THEY TRAVELED TO PARTS OF ARIZONA AND CALIFORNIA TO SEE CURRENT AND PROPOSED PROJECTS. THEY VISITED IMPORTANT INDIGENOUS SITES, WILDLIFE CORRIDORS AND FENCELINE COMMUNITIES ALREADY DEALING WITH ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE ISSUES - AND SAW PLACES WHERE PROPOSED MINES OFFER RARE ECONOMIC AND CAREER OPPORTUNITIES AND ARE VIEWED AS NEW SOURCES OF MUNICIPAL REVENUE.
