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!Forests For Calgary: https://www.calgaryclimatehub.ca/forests_for_calgaryCalgary Tree Equity Tool and Tree Planting Guide: https://www.calgaryclimatehub.ca/calgary_tree_equityYouth Climate Activism Bursary: https://www.calgaryclimatehub.ca/youth_climate_activism_bursaryHub and Spokes 2024: https://www.calgaryclimatehub.ca/hub_and_spokes_2024*****Heather Addy: https://www.calgaryclimatehub.ca/heather_addySaadiq Mohiuddin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/saadiqmohiuddin/Rob Miller: https://x.com/winexusDruh Farrell: https://x.com/DruhFarrell*****If you appreciate what we're doing here at the Climate Lens one way you could help out is become a member of our Patreon for just 5 bucks a month at https://www.patreon.com/TheClimateLens or make a one time donation via the Calgary Climate Hub website at https://www.canadahelps.org/en/dn/92219****Calgary Climate HubWebsite: https://www.calgaryclimatehub.caBluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/climatehubyyc.bsky.socialMastodon: https://campaign.openworlds.info/@ClimateHubYYCInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/calgaryclimatehub/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/calgaryclimatehub/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@calgaryclimatehubVolunteer! https://www.calgaryclimatehub.ca/volunteerBecome a Member! https://www.calgaryclimatehub.ca/membershipDonate! https://www.calgaryclimatehub.ca/donateSupport us on Patreon!
