SUMMARY:S.F. Politics Preview 2026: Lurie Enters Year 2\, Pelosi Exits\, and More
DESCRIPTION:Check in with some of the city’s top political reporters to talk about Pelosi’s legacy\, the Lurie administration\, and Trump vs. S.F.\n\n\nSan Francisco politics is rarely dull\, but 2026 is shaping up to be particularly eventful. Nancy Pelosi\, the first and only woman elected U.S. House speaker\, has announced her retirement after nearly four decades serving San Francisco in Congress. The race to succeed her is wide-open\, though State Senator Scott Wiener and Supervisor Connie Chan have already thrown their hats in. \nMeanwhile\, Mayor Daniel Lurie starts his second year in office with high approval ratings and ambitious plans to boost housing construction and overhaul the City Charter. He’s also still facing fallout from a bungled effort to appoint a supervisor in the city’s Sunset District. His first pick\, a former pet store owner with no political experience\, resigned after allegations over unsanitary conditions and poor management at her small business. \nWe’ll check in with some of the city’s top political reporters to talk about Pelosi’s legacy\, what to expect from the Lurie administration\, and how the city will cope with federal cuts and Trump’s ongoing crackdown on Democratic cities. \nSPEAKERS \nMarisa Lagos\, Correspondent for KQED’s California Politics and Government Desk and Co-host of the weekly show and podcast\, “Political Breakdown” \nJoe Eskenazi\, Managing Editor/Columnist\, Mission Local \nAdditional Speaker TBA \nModerator: John Zipperer\, Vice President of Media & Editorial\, Commonwealth Club World Affairs of California \n11:30 a.m. doors open & check-in12–1 p.m. program(all times Pacific Time) \nSpeaker photos courtesy the speakers; San Francisco City Hall photo by Jose Mª Izquierdo Galiot.

SUMMARY:COP30 to COP31: Will Climate Cooperation Wane Before Emissions Peak?
DESCRIPTION:.\n\n\nTen years after the Paris Agreement demonstrated a profound collective will to address global emissions\, the world’s efforts to confront the accelerating climate crisis reached a pivotal moment at the UN Climate Conference (COP30) in the Amazon. Emissions continue to rise as multilateralism is met with more and more challenges. \nWhile COP30 participants acknowledged the Paris Agreement’s past successes\, the proceedings highlighted a difficult reality: the political will needed for momentous multilateral agreement remains elusive. Instead\, progress was characterized less by formal consensus and more by achievements outside the official process. These “outside track” successes included initiatives led by Brazil\, Colombia\, and the Netherlands to make progress on transitioning away from fossil fuels; the launch of the Tropical Forests Forever Facility (TFFF); new momentum on carbon pricing and markets; and various efforts related to non-CO2 gases. Parties did agree on a goal to triple adaptation finance\, but they did not MANAGE a robust response to countries’ climate action plans also known as Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs). \nThe next Climate Conference (COP31) will be a partnership between Türkiye and Australia. A central question will be if there is a “new normal” or if the formal process can revive ambition and multilateralism. Is the WORLD pivoting permanently toward a model where the most significant climate action happens on the outside track? \nJoin Perry World House for this critical expert discussion with current and former climate negotiators. \nSpeakers \nSue Biniaz most recently served as the principal deputy special envoy for climate at the U.S. State Department\, where\, among other things\, she led the U.S. team on international climate negotiations. From 1989 to 2017\, she was the State Department’s lead climate lawyer and played a role in the development of all the major climate agreements\, including the Paris Agreement. As deputy legal advisor and in other positions\, she was responsible for legal issues related to U.S. treaty practice\, the environment\, oceans\, outer space\, the Western Hemisphere\, Europe\, Asia\, Somali piracy\, human rights\, law enforcement\, and private international law. She is a senior fellow and lecturer at the Yale Jackson School of Global Affairs. \nAnne Rasmussen is a distinguished Samoan climate expert and a leading voice for vulnerable nations in international climate diplomacy. With over a decade of experience in high-level negotiations\, she currently serves as the Chief Negotiator for the Alliance of Small Island States (AOSIS). \nA graduate of the University of the South Pacific with a background in geography and postgraduate expertise in climate change\, Rasmussen began her diplomatic career at COP18 in 2012. Since then\, she has held pivotal roles in the UN climate process\, including leading negotiations on climate finance for the Green Climate Fund and serving as a Vice-President at COP27. \nDr Sally Box leads the International Climate Negotiations Division in the Australian Government’s Department of Climate Change\, Energy\, the Environment and Water. She is Australia’s Head of Delegation to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change and has led the Australian negotiations team at the four most recent UN Climate Conferences of the Parties. \nPrior to this role\, Sally served as the Australian Government’s Threatened Species Commissioner\, where she led the development and implementation of the Threatened Species Strategy and the environmental response to the 2019-20 Black Summer bushfires. \nSally has over 20 years’ experience working in the Australian Public Service in the fields of climate change and environment policy development\, program delivery\, regulation\, and communications. She has a PhD in Plant Sciences from the Australian National University and a Bachelor of Science (Honours) from the University of Adelaide. \nSally was awarded a Public Service Medal in 2022 for her leadership of the environmental response to the 2019-20 Black Summer bushfires. \nSally lives in Canberra\, Australia\, with her husband\, four children and much-loved black labrador.

SUMMARY:Nell Bernstein and Chesa Boudin on the Fight to Close Youth Prisons
DESCRIPTION:Learn how a coalition of parents\, activists & prison officials reformed a longstanding institution\, & what other movements can learn from it\n\n\nOver the past 20 years\, one state after another has shuttered its youth prisons and stopped trying kids as adults\, slashing the number of incarcerated children by a stunning 75 percent. How did this change come about? In the sequel to her 2014 award-winning book Burning Down the House\, journalist Nell Bernstein dissects the forces that converged to move us from what she calls a moral panic about “juvenile superpredators” to a time in which the youth prison is rapidly fading from view. \nIn Our Future We Are Free begins and ends with the imprisoned youth who took a leading role in their own liberation. Through vivid profiles\, Bernstein chronicles the tireless work of mothers\, activists\, litigators\, researchers\, and journalists to expose and challenge the “racist brutality of youth prisons”—as well as the surprising story of prison officials who worked from the inside to close their institutions for good. The descriptions of how communities are pursuing safety\, rehabilitation\, and accountability outside of locked institutions offers a model for how we might overcome our addiction to incarceration writ large. \nJoin Nell Bernstein and Chesa Boudin to learn how a coalition of parents\, activists\, and prison officials reformed what she calls “racist and destructive institution\,” and what other social movements can learn from that struggle. \nSPEAKERS \nNell Bernstein\, Author\, Burning Down the House\, All Alone in the World\, and In Our Future We Are Free \nModerator: Chesa Boudin\, Lawyer; Former San Francisco District Attorney; Founding Executive Director\, the Criminal Law & Justice Center at UC Berkeley \n5:30 p.m. doors open & check-in6–7 p.m. program7 p.m. book signing(all times Pacific Time) \nPhotos courtesy the speakers.
