Jimmy Carter's Presidential Legacy: A Conversation with Pulitzer Prize Winning Historian Kai Bird

Historian and journalist Kai Bird's new book, The Outlier, is being acclaimed as a definitive account of President Jimmy Carter's presidency, including how President Carter’s often-controversial

Historian and journalist Kai Bird's new book, The Outlier, is being acclaimed as a definitive account of President Jimmy Carter's presidency, including how President Carter’s often-controversial policies and initiatives appear in historical perspective. Carter assisted Bird in his research, giving him exclusive access to the private papers of Charles Kirbo, Carter’s longtime personal lawyer and political adviser, as well as to the unpublished diaries of Carter White House aides Langdon Butler, Tim Kraft and Jerome Doolittle. Bird points out that as president, Jimmy Carter was not merely an outsider: he was an outlier. He was the only president in a century to grow up in the heart of the Deep South, and his born-again Christianity made him the most openly religious president in memory. Bird says this outlier brought to the White House a rare mix of humility, candor and unnerving self-confidence that neither Washington nor America was ready to embrace. Bird traces the arc of Carter’s administration, from his aggressive domestic agenda to his controversial foreign policy record, taking readers inside the Oval Office and through Carter’s battles with both a political establishment and a Washington press corps that proved as adversarial as any foreign power. Mr. Bird shows how issues still hotly debated today—from national health care to growing inequality and racism to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict—burned at the heart of Carter’s America, and consumed a president who found a moral duty in solving them. Bird won the Pulitzer Prize for biography for American Prometheus: The Triumph and Tragedy of J. Robert Oppenheimer. His work includes critical writings on the Vietnam War, Hiroshima, nuclear weapons, the Cold War, the Arab-Israeli conflict and the CIA. Now, join a fascinating conversation with Kai Bird about this highly regarded American leader whose presidential legacy Mr. Bird says has been deeply misunderstood.

The Silent Killer: A War Ignited by Climate Change | Dania Hallak | TEDxYouth@BeaconStreet
Dania recalls her war memories and realization that the factors that displaced her family were caused by climate change. She details the indicators that were ignored and a similar pattern she
Dania recalls her war memories and realization that the factors that displaced her family were caused by climate change. She details the indicators that were ignored and a similar pattern she observes in her community today. She relates her mobilization efforts from a global perspective of the conflicts caused by climate change to local sea-level rise impacts on a Revere, MA. A marginalized city in the United States. A journey to recognizing her status as a climate refugee and finding her voice as an advocate for marginalized communities. Production Credits Special thanks to production houses Charles River Media Group and IClass Media Group for technical and creative production and direction. Dania is a student who has lived in the Revere, Massachusetts for the past 3 years. She is originally from Aleppo,Syria where she was born and raised. Dania and her family were displaced from Syria, which forced them to relocate to various countries. She experienced many struggles while seeking refugee status but finally settled in the United States. Once in the U.S., Dania had a simple goal in mind: to further her education, especially in science. Her passion for science and work with labs during the summer led her to a revelation that opened her eyes to injustices committed by climate change. Today, she continues to pursue her love for science while working with youth-led organizations to talk with legislators about equitable science-based climate policy and, most importantly, to empower the voices of youth and people of color. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx

People everywhere need reliable daily power, which renewable energy can provide if stored effectively. Form Energy has developed breakthrough iron-air batteries that store renewable energy for days, utilizing abundant and affordable iron instead of rare or expensive materials. This innovation makes clean energy more accessible and reliable, while also creating high-quality manufacturing jobs and revitalizing American Rust Belt communities.

Understanding the climate performance of investment funds: A universal temperature score method
The Investment Leaders Group’s latest publication “Understanding the climate performance of investment funds – Part 2: A universal temperature score method”, is the final in a two-part series
The Investment Leaders Group’s latest publication “Understanding the climate performance of investment funds – Part 2: A universal temperature score method”, is the final in a two-part series developed by CISL and the Investment Leaders Group published on Thursday, 29 July 2021. Both Part 1 and Part 2 can be accessed here: https://www.cisl.cam.ac.uk/events/webinar-understanding-climate-performance-investment-funds-part-2-universal-temperature-score The report aims to foster familiarity with the temperature score landscape by examining the building blocks of existing methods. It proposes a simple, transparent and scientifically robust method that translates portfolio emissions into a metric expressed in degrees Celsius, to report portfolio alignment with the Paris ambition. The method aims to answer the question: “What would be the global mean temperature increase at the end of the century if the entire economy had the same emissions intensity as this portfolio?”. Chaired by Lucy Auden (Senior Programme Manager, Investment Leaders Group), the webinar features Dr Jake Reynolds (Executive Director, Sustainable Economy) setting the scene on why and how a temperature score can help investors understand their investment impact on climate stability, followed by a presentation on the methodology by Dr Pablo Salas Bravo (Prince of Wales Global Sustainability Fellow).

On Nudge by Richard Thaler
Author and economist Richard Thaler discusses "Nudge: The Final Edition", co-authored by Cass R. Sunstein, which demonstrates how best to nudge us in the right directions, without ever restricting
Author and economist Richard Thaler discusses "Nudge: The Final Edition", co-authored by Cass R. Sunstein, which demonstrates how best to nudge us in the right directions, without ever restricting our freedom of choice.

Every day people make decisions: about the things they buy or the meals they eat; about the investments they make and the time they spend; about their health and the health of the planet. Unfortunately, people often choose unwisely. Nudge: The Final Edition shows us that we are all susceptible to biases that can lead us to make bad decisions that make us poorer, less healthy and less happy. And, as Thaler and Sunstein show, it is not possible for choices to be presented to us in a neutral way. Given this fact of life, why not try to help people choose what is best for themselves, for their families and for society?

Richard H. Thaler was awarded the 2017 Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences for his contributions to the field of behavioral economics. He is the Charles R. Walgreen Distinguished Service Professor of Behavioral Science and Economics at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business. He is a member of the National Academy of Science and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and in 2015 he was the president of the American Economic Association. He has been published in numerous prominent journals and is the author of "Misbehaving: The Making of Behavioural Economics".
