Location: Woodside Hall, Carleton Dominion-Chalmers Centre.
Date and Time: Monday, November 18 7:00-9:00pm.
Panelists will discuss how cities are focal points for climate justice—as spaces where we can agitate against inequalities exacerbated by poor urban planning and policy—while acknowledging how cities swallow up resources, land and people, creating new ecologies and relationships with the environment. How can urban nature impact our health and wellbeing and how can communities create their own experiences with urban nature outside of expectations of politicians or neoliberal policy? What do we need to address urban heat, tornadoes and floods? And how can we build community in urban spaces when our air, water, and land is increasingly under threat?
