Event Title
Session 2.3 Regreening Without Displacement
Start Date
1-12-2021 3:17 PM
End Date
1-12-2021 3:29 PM
Description
There is a growing desire to green cities through infrastructure adaptation and installation, but also through the actual planting of trees and creation of parks and greenspaces to mitigate the effects of climate change. Concurrently many organizations and academics are focused on protecting communities that are often forgotten and/or pushed out when improvements are made in cities. We want to echo this work by providing further examples of ways in which policy can strongly contribute to change in fair and equitable ways and promote solutions focused on protecting communities that are disproportionately vulnerable to displacement once greening begins. SDG Theme: SDG 10 – Reduced Inequalities Type: Short talk (e.g. PowerPoint, Google Slides)
