DESCRIPTION:Over the past decade, renowned environmentalist Lester Brown has called for 
 a worldwide mobilization to stabilize climate change, including a strategy 
 for cutting carbon emissions 80 percent by 2020. With a look at recent 
 geopolitics, Brown believes that food may be the issue that finally 
 convinces the world to take the steps necessary to achieve this goal. He 
 argues that we are entering a new food era, one marked by higher food 
 prices, growing numbers of hungry people, and an intensifying competition 
 for land and water resources. The issue of food security has become highly 
 complex with every major environmental trend making humanity more 
 vulnerable to food shortages: from climate change and population pressure 
 to eroding soils and water scarcity. Brown joins the Council to share the 
 newest edition of his strategy to address food insecurity, stabilize 
 climate change and avoid environmental collapse: Plan B 4.0: Mobilizing to 
 Save Civilization.\n\nThis event is co-sponsored by the United Nations 
 Association's East Bay Chapter.\n\nMembers: Free; Co-Sponsors: $7;
