Arizona is home to over 1,000 native bee species, ranging from tiny to thumb-sized. These intriguing creatures are crucial for pollinating wild landscapes, urban gardens, and agricultural fields. Dr. Carril's talk will delve into the complex, interdependent relationships between Arizona's native solitary bees and the flowering plants essential for their survival.

Dr. Olivia Carril is a native bee expert with over 25 years of experience. She earned degrees from Utah State University and Southern Illinois University, and co-authored three books, including *The Bees in Your Backyard*. Dr. Carril currently conducts large-scale bee surveys across the western U.S. and studies rare plants in New Mexico.

Treaties between tribes and the federal government, particularly concerning resource use and environmental conservation, have long been a source of legal contention. Their exact status and attendant rights generate significant tension, especially regarding state obligations.

Recently, an equally divided Supreme Court affirmed states' duty to manage resources consistent with tribal treaty rights. This ruling impacts states like Washington, which has resisted requirements from the Stevens' treaties, affirming tribal salmon fishing rights. The critical question remains: what additional state obligations ensure resource sustainability, especially amidst climate disruption? Consistent enforcement benefits all, illuminating the state's trust duties to its people.

During an ethnographic research visit to Nepal, Tsechu Dolma learned that Geling villagers in Upper Mustang were struggling with food and water insecurity due to erratic climate patterns. Upon returning to the US, she consulted with Nepalese expats and academics to devise strategies for climate resilience among the region's subsistence farmers.

With funding from the Rubin Foundation and Columbia University, Dolma returned to Nepal to study past development projects. She proposed building a community greenhouse using local materials, an idea unanimously supported by the villagers. To address youth disengagement caused by civil war and environmental degradation, the greenhouse would be built in a school, fostering intergenerational sharing and collaboration.

Dolma hopes the Geling greenhouse will serve as a global model for climate resiliency and local ownership in rural communities.

As Portland revitalizes its Old Town/Chinatown, a neighborhood home to two National Historic Districts, there is renewed interest in preserving its architecture and reusing historic buildings.

As Portland revitalizes its Old Town/Chinatown, a neighborhood home to two National Historic Districts, there is renewed interest in preserving its architecture and reusing historic buildings. This panel will address the challenges of redeveloping these structures, explore better financial tools and incentives, suggest in-fill considerations, and discuss streamlining processes to attract private investment and restore buildings to full service.

Speakers include Brian Emerick (Emerick Architects), Julie Garver (Innovative Housing), Jeff Joslin (City and County of San Francisco), Peggy Moretti (Restore Oregon), and Ethan Seltzer (Portland State University). Chet Orloff (Pamplin International Collection of Art) will moderate the discussion.

Chad Frischmann defines "Drawdown" as the point when greenhouse gas concentrations begin to decrease, leading to global cooling and reversing the climate crisis. His team identified existing technologies and practices that, collectively, can achieve this goal. By reframing climate change as a symptom, we can better focus on root causes and solutions. For instance, reducing food waste, responsible for 8% of global emissions, plays a significant role in reaching this pivotal point.

Frischmann, co-author of *Drawdown* and VP of Project Drawdown, works to build a regenerative future. This talk was presented at a TEDx event. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx.
