Streamed live on January 9, 2015, this forum on "Healthcare & Homelessness" discussed City Club's new report and critical community issues.

The event explored how to maximize health benefits for Multnomah County's homeless population through healthcare reform and Oregon Health Plan expansion. Homelessness is a complex public health challenge where the struggle for stability often overshadows health needs, exposing deep fault lines in our current healthcare system.

Panelists included Crista Gardner, David Labby, Leo Rhodes, and Rachel Solotaroff.

Waste and pollution are not accidents but consequences of design choices. By viewing waste as a design flaw, we can prevent its creation from the outset.

Waste and pollution are not accidents but consequences of design choices. By viewing waste as a design flaw, we can prevent its creation from the outset.

Our linear economy relies on non-renewable petroleum, making a circular system impossible. Plants, the origin of petroleum, offer a naturally abundant and renewable alternative.

Historically, converting complex plant material into petroleum-like molecules was challenging. However, researchers at EPFL in Switzerland have developed a method to fully valorize and utilize plants as a petroleum substitute.

The Northern White Rhinoceros is functionally extinct due to poaching, with only two individuals remaining. A video featuring Dr. Barbara Durrant explores whether the San Diego Zoo Safari Park's "frozen zoo" can reverse this. This unique biotech facility aims to use in vitro fertilization to implant a Northern White Rhino embryo into a closely related Southern White Rhino. If successful, this groundbreaking procedure could rescue critically endangered species and potentially resurrect extinct ones.

Climate change was a leading issue in 2020. With a promising new pro-climate administration in 2021, the focus shifts to how quickly a clean energy transition can be achieved. The question is no longer what can be done, but how soon.

Join a conversation on climate breakthroughs with experts Michael Mann (Penn State, author of The New Climate War) and Leah Stokes (UC Santa Barbara, author of Short Circuiting Policy). They will discuss the urgency and tools for addressing the climate crisis.
