  • Summary

  • The people of Calgary might be surprised to find out that our beloved city is actually tied for dead last in Canada as it relates to tree canopy and just like so many other things, there's a strong disparity between our wealthiest and whitest neighbourhoods and those with lower household incomes and larger BIPOC communities. This is called Tree Equity and it's another important piece of the Climate Justice conversation. The good news is, like all things in the climate world, there are solutions and smart people on the ground working on the problem. We have 4 of them with us here today from the Calgary Climate Hub's mighty, mighty Nature Node. ***** Sources used in this episode: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1OVi5tz0iyxBJtylfSgR4nEvrDgYUcMga7EnR12ZMIew/ Transcript of the episode: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1aB7FlqVkHEYtlg1_e_R2cqLQciUWz7TB5kD9mj-BzOY/ ***** CALLS TO ACTION!
