 The Loss of Nature: A Global Threat The loss of our biodiversity has the power to uproot economies, make lands uninhabitable, foster zoonotic diseases, and cause competition for resources and regional unrest. The Biden Administration has spoken of the loss of nature as a true and present threat to our security. In his first month in office, the president signed executive orders designed to protect public lands and committed to conserving 30 percent of U.S. lands and coastal seas by 2030. The motivation appears to be there, but are we doing enough? Is the intelligence community taking this threat seriously? What steps should elected leaders take to safeguard the biodiversity of our planet? On March 24, The Hill will convene policymakers and national security experts for an in-depth discussion on the intersection of our national security priorities and the global loss of nature. Speakers: Galina Angarova, Executive Director, Cultural Survival RADM Len Hering Sr., Member, Advisory Board, Center for Climate and Security Rep. Ted Lieu (D-CA), Member, Committee on Foreign Affairs Monica Medina, Founder and Publisher of Our Daily Planet RSVP Today!

 The COVID-19 Vaccine & the New Era of Manufacturing Manufacturers have been operating at an expedited production schedule for the past year to produce medical products, PPE, goods used daily for home use, and several approved vaccines. What are the lessons learned in the past year while operating on constant escalated timelines? How are biopharmaceutical manufacturers prioritizing vaccines and continuing to produce other medicines at the same time? And what can traditional manufacturing competitors stepping in to fulfill vaccine production quotas teach us about cooperation in the name of common good? The Hill will sit down with government leaders, manufacturing and vaccine production experts to discuss how the manufacturing community and their related industries will use what they learned in 2020 to tackle the public health emergencies of the future. Speakers: Dr. Simone Blayer, Global Head of Chemistry, Manufacturing & Control, Center for Vaccine Innovation and Access, PATH Rep.
