Thank you to the 80 residents who took part in our Community Workshop on Saturday! Lots of great conversations at the Roundtables. Stay tuned for our Report & the follow-up meeting to come. And a big thanks to the amazing team of volunteers who made it happen.

@Seniors_CAN Even as policymakers seek to implement early warning systems to help people prepare for extreme heat events, those most vulnerable to heat stress are being overlooked, experts say. theenergymix.com/heat-stress-th…

@Seniors_CAN Low-carbon homes are essential for family-friendly affordability in Canada, says a new report from the Smart Prosperity Institute that shows policymakers how to deliver on that imperative. theenergymix.com/new-report-out…

If you're just catching up on Ontario's Bill 212, it passed yesterday. Here's a rundown from me of what that'll mean for Highway 413, the Bradford Bypass and bike lanes in Toronto and beyond. (Spoiler alert, traffic will not get better) #onpoli thenarwhal.ca/ontario-highwa…

CAPE doctors are on the ground at #INC5 in Busan! We’re pushing for a just plastics treaty that protects vulnerable communities. Plastics harm health from cradle to grave. Canada must lead on limiting production and banning toxic additives. #PlasticPollution #PlasticsTreaty

What does it mean for both people and the planet to flourish? And why, in an increasingly polarised world, is communication so vital to create a better future for us all? 💬🌍 This week’s episode of the Cities 1.5 podcast builds on a very special @c40cities and @museumfortheun…

It's not just climate change. It's also that (traditional) urbanization and the straightening of rivers have been a disaster - for us and for nature. It's time to welcome nature back into our cities.

Love to see it. When I was Chief Planner I had a picture of my once 86 year old grandmother blissfully cycling to visit friends (in Holland, of course). It was a source of inspiration for what might be possible in our city. So your note is a full circle moment for me. Thanks for…

Per capita emissions aren't fixed. The same family that generates very modest GHG emissions living in a 1200 sf flat in a mid-rise on a dense neighbourhood street steps from shops, school, work so they don't need a car generates vastly more GHG living in a highway sprawl house.

Don’t let Canada Burn! We just signed a petition calling on @JonathanWNV to double support for wildfire fighters so they can fight the growing threat of climate change-fuelled fires. Please join us & sign here: action.dontletcanadaburn.ca/petitions/doub…

Plastic has been the default option in design for too long. It is time to move away from our throwaway culture. As the 5th session of the Intergovernmental Negotiating Committee on Plastic Pollution gets underway, learn more about how we can #BeatPlasticPollution. #INC5

From your tea to your clothes, to your food, plastic is infiltrating our lives. The future of our planet depends on our actions today. Together, let's #BeatPlasticPollution: go.undp.org/Jkf #INC5

"It’s not only a climate issue, but a health and cost of living issue." As Clean Energy Canada's report finds, electric heat pumps—which come with built-in AC—are already the cheapest heating and cooling option for most households in Vancouver. #bcpoli theenergymix.com/vancouver-city…

The Oneida energy storage plant in Ontario is a milestone on the road to net-zero: cheap, clean energy on-demand, reducing reliance on natural gas, boosting grid flexibility and a model for First Nations partnership on energy projects. ⚡️🔋 nationalobserver.com/2024/11/26/ana…

Our future is at a tipping point. Without climate action, we face more extreme weather, rising seas, droughts, food and water scarcity, and unchecked pollution. We MUST act now to avoid this future! Join the #Greens for a healthier, more sustainable planet. #ClimateActionNow

1000 days ago the world agreed to #BeatPlasticPollution at #UNEA5. Today #INC5 begins. We must now nail the text of the #PlasticsTreaty to protect our environment, our health and our future. Now is the time for a deal. We do not have another 1000 days to wait.
