Environmental stewardship groups are vital to thriving, climate-ready communities. Drawing on 20 years of U.S. Forest Service data from the Stewardship Mapping and Assessment Project (STEW-MAP) and social infrastructure research, this panel will examine findings from a forthcoming report by Yale School of the Environment scholars. Panelists will discuss how local care networks build climate res...
Estimates of the direct land area required by energy technologies began as rough approximations built on limited data from literature. Methods have rapidly advanced in the past decade—from supervised classification to deep learning of earth observation imagery—enabling a greater understanding of the land implications of energy decisions across spatial and temporal scales.

Nearly every lithium-ion battery depends on graphite, yet global supply is highly concentrated and carries a heavy environmental footprint. As battery demand grows, a pressing question for industrial ecologists is whether carbon-rich waste streams, such as biomass residues and waste plastics, can become a meaningful, lower-impact source of this critical material.
This session, which is part ...
Can biochar deliver consistent climate and agricultural benefits from individual fields to the global scale? Biochar, a carbon-rich material derived from biomass, has the potential to improve soil health, enhance agricultural productivity, and mitigate climate change. However, its effectiveness varies considerably across environmental conditions and management practices, raising questions about...
This talk, hosted by the Center for Industrial Ecology, will describe pioneering legislation adopted in Oregon designed to improve recycling but with a strong focus on the quality of environmental and social outcomes as opposed to just increasing recycling rates. Adopted in 2021, the RMA contains innovative provisions related to social equity, transparency, responsible end markets, contaminatio...
