DCEFF is teaming up with Grist to bring you a free virtual screening of ONCE UPON A TIME IN VENEZUELA. The award-winning documentary and a conversation between director Anabel Rodr&iacute;guez R&iacute;os and Grist CEO Brady Pi&ntilde;ero Walkinshaw will be available to stream Thursday, September 23, through Sunday, September 26.
&nbsp;
SYNOPSIS:
At the edge of Venezuela&rsquo;s Lake Maracaibo is the small floating village of Congo Mirador. Now sinking into sediment, this once-prosperous fishing community is unraveling after years of criminal pollution and government neglect. Focusing on two fierce, independent women who epitomize opposing sides of this vulnerable community, Once Upon a Time in Venezuela is a stunning microcosm of a global battle to safeguard cultural heritage and retain political relevancy.

Once Upon a Time in Venezuela (Virtual Screening)

The COVID-19 crisis is reversing years of hard-won gains for women, children, and adolescent health and human capital outcomes. More than one year on, with disrupted health systems stretched to the breaking point and economies severely impacted, women, children and adolescents in the world&rsquo;s poorest countries have been hardest hit by a secondary crisis that threatens to roll back the remarkable gains made over the last decade.
The world was making steady yet uneven progress in improving health outcomes for women, children and adolescents. Amid better access to family planning, skilled birth attendants, and better nutrition, the newborn mortality rate almost halved worldwide between 1990 and 2018.
Now, the pandemic is reversing hard-won gains on the Sustainable Development Goal of achieving health and well-being for all by 2030. In many low- and middle-income countries, coverage of essential health services for women and children has dropped by up to 25% during the pandemic. Reports have flagged rises in stillbirths and maternal deaths, while contraceptive use has been disrupted for an estimated 12 million women in 115 countries. Women and girls have also borne the brunt of other secondary impacts of the pandemic: dramatic increases in gender-based violence, protracted school closures, job losses, and increases in unpaid care.
These trends threaten to cause a lasting secondary crisis if COVID-19 efforts are not complemented by investments in and integration of essential health services for women, children and adolescents as part of the response and recovery.
This event, hosted by Devex in partnership with the Global Financing Facility for Women, Children and Adolescents (GFF), will explore how and why countries and partners must maintain a laser focus on protecting and promoting the continuation of essential health services for the most vulnerable populations and strengthening frontline community and primary care services and systems to help countries prepare for the equitable, affordable and safe delivery of vaccines and tools - while also strengthening health systems and building resilience for future pandemics.

TNR Live: Dissecting the Language of Climate Change

The Sir Michael Howard Centre for the History of War invites you to join us for the inaugural event in our exciting new seminar series for the 2021-22 academic year entitled &lsquo;New Directions in the History of War and Violence&rsquo;.&nbsp;
Join this roundtable discussion between Professor Susan Carruthers; Professor Tarak Barkawi; Professor Kim Wagner; and Dr Matthew Ford to reflect on some of the big changes over the past several decades in the way we conceptualise the study of the history of war and violence. In particular, they will discuss how we can think about more global histories of war and violence that draw upon insights and methodologies from histories of culture, gender, and race.
Bios
Susan Carruthers is a Professor in American Studies at the University of Warwick, where she has taught since 2017. Her work focuses on representations of war and the ways in which individuals, and societies more broadly, make sense of conflict and its aftermath. She is the author of several books, including The Good Occupation, The Media at War, Cold War Captives and Winning Hearts and Minds. Her expertise in the media and war, cold war culture, and colonial counterinsurgency spans the twentieth and twenty-first centuries.
Professor Tarak Barkawi uses interdisciplinary approaches to imperial and military archives to re-imagine relations between war, armed forces and society in modern times. He has written on the pivotal place of armed force in globalization, imperialism, and modernization, and on the neglected significance of war in social and political theory and in histories of empire. His most recent book, Soldiers of Empire, examined the multicultural armies of British Asia in the Second World War, reconceiving Indian and British soldiers in cosmopolitan rather than national terms.&nbsp;
Professor Kim Wagner completed his PhD in South Asian history at the University of Cambridge (2000-03), supervised by the late Professor Sir C.A. Bayly. This was followed by a four-year Research Fellowship at King&rsquo;s College, Cambridge, and a two-year Research Associate post at the University of Edinburgh. He was subsequently employed as Lecturer in Imperial and World History at the University of Birmingham, before joining Queen Mary in 2012. Between 2015 and 2018, he had a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Global Fellowship working with Dane Kennedy at George Washington University, DC.
Dr Matthew Ford joined the University of Sussex as a Lecturer in International Relations in August 2013. Prior to this he was a lecturer in War and Security at the University of Hull (2010-2013), a Sessional Lecturer in International Security at Birkbeck College London (2008-2009) and a Teaching Assistant at King's College London (2006-2008). Matthew has also occasionally taught as a Sessional Lecturer in History at the University of Birmingham (2009-2011). Matthew has a PhD from the Department of War Studies at King's College London (KCL); an MA in War Studies from KCL and a BA (Hons) in Philosophy from the University of Reading.

Natural and man-made disasters have become more frequent than ever before and the need for disaster preparedness has increased over the years. Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR) technologies like Artificial Intelligence (AI), Robotics, Drones and Internet of Things (IoT) have the potential to revolutionize the domain of disaster risk prevention, reduction and response.&nbsp;
The United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) is hosting a series of webinars on these 4IR technologies presenting a chance to learn from and engage with leading experts from around the world as they discuss opportunities and challenges associated with these technologies and their use in disaster management.&nbsp; &nbsp;

Webinar Series: Modern Technologies for Disaster Management

The COVID-19 pandemic, coinciding with the 20th anniversary of the Doha Declaration, has revealed unprecedented and historical challenges in using public health safeguards and flexibilities available under the TRIPS Agreement and national laws.
Several countries and jurisdictions have made efforts to improve their laws. Others discuss reform for future health emergencies. These developments, taking together with the&nbsp;<a href="https://haiweb.org/mps-and-meps-call-for-trips-waiver/">TRIPS waiver</a>&nbsp;deliberation, beg the question of the extent to which international trade rules and the national implementations on intellectual property should be adapted more profoundly and efficiently in light of ensuring access to health technologies.
This joint panel discussion, held with MSF Access Campaign as part of the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.wto.org/english/forums_e/public_forum21_e/public_forum21_e.htm">World Trade Organization (WTO) Public Forum 2021</a>, will critically review and discuss national law responses and experiences addressing intellectual property challenges in a global pandemic and the role of WTO.&nbsp;

"The Future of Nuclear Energy: How to Ensure its Safety, Non-Diversion and Support for Sustainability in the Twenty First Century? "

COVID-19 has upended health systems around the world. Now, more than 18 months into the pandemic, health leaders have a clearer perspective of what works and what doesn&rsquo;t work in pandemic response and preparedness. Governments, ministries of health, and civil society organizations (CSOs) have identified innovative health workforce policies and practices to respond to COVID-19, distribute COVID-19 vaccinations, and continue delivery of essential health services. From Africa to Asia, there are valuable lessons to share about how a resilient and responsive global health workforce can bolster health systems to restore essential health services and improve pandemic preparedness. Sponsored by the Frontline Health Workers Coalition and partners alongside the 76th UN General Assembly, this TWO-PART event will convene government leaders and CSO representatives to share their most effective policy wins&mdash;and losses&mdash;over the last year and a half. PART ONE, on September 21, from 9:00 AM-10:15 AM EDT, will be a frank discussion with government leaders from different continents on how their health worker policies pivoted to respond to COVID-19 and what they would do differently in the event of a future health crises. PART TWO, on September 28, from 9:00 AM-10:15 AM EDT, will feature CSO representatives, who will share their experiences working hand-in-hand with the government to pass and implement innovative health workforce policies. We are planning to provide French and Spanish translation and will confirm soon. Recordings will be shared with all registrants following the events.

Cultural Competence in Healthcare Workshop

Many children in the US are impacted by the nutrition and feeding programs authorized by Congress and carried out by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. During its process of periodically reauthorizing these programs, Congress reviews and updates the laws that govern the programs which include school lunch and breakfast, summer meals, after-school meals, and the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC). The reauthorization cycle is taking place now, and input to lawmakers from ASN and its members can help to shape the new provisions. ASN members conduct research targeting our nation&rsquo;s youth which, in turn, can inform policies related to child nutrition, and provisions incorporated by the reauthorization process can support and guide these activities. This webinar will outline the process of Child Nutrition Reauthorization, and then address opportunities and issues for enhancing the programs from the perspective of nutrition and nutrition policy. Relevant considerations include research activities, data gathering, surveillance and meal standards. This webinar is part of the CASP Nutrition Policy Webinar series, designed to help ASN members better understand the interface between research and nutrition policy.
Learning Objectives
By the end of this webinar, attendees will be able to:​
<blockquote>
(1) Increase knowledge of the Child Nutrition Reauthorization process and its relevance to nutrition policy.
(2) Identify pending issues within national child nutrition programs.&nbsp;
(3) Contemplate possible new provisions for research, monitoring, evaluation, meal standards, and implementation of national child nutrition programs to be included in the new CNR.
