Alexandra Mallett, an associate professor in sustainable energy and climate policy at Ottawa\u2019s Carleton University, says even just declaring a climate emergency is a positive step forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBasically you need all hands on deck,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou need everybody in this together because this is happening here and now and it\u2019s not going to go away with conventional.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mallett notes Sudbury was a pioneer with its regreening initiatives to fix the damage caused by decades of acid rain from mining industry emissions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIf Sudbury can regreen and reinvent itself, I think that cities are going to be the forerunners of where we\u2019re actually going to see sustaining change,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
