Op-Ed: Fast Isn’t Enough: Why Ontario Needs Green Building Standards
The province’s unilateral repeal of the Green Roof Bylaw demonstrates how quickly long-standing environmental protections can vanish without public consultation.

Good piece on the science and need to be more transformative in how we respond to #climate #resilience #SDGaction
Excited to have been part of this perspective, led by @timokelder.bsky.social, discussing how society can build resilience to, rather than be surprised by, unprecedented weather: 💪 vs 😱
Includes a review of methods to anticipate events, and discussion on adaptation practice and disaster management.

Kelder et al. discusses a multitude of ways that we could anticipate unprecedented weather events that might otherwise be a surprise

@katharinehayhoe.com did I really just hear a LA real estate agent on @cnn.com say this should never happen. “It’s LA” This is not Saskatchewan …. 🤔 The lack of awareness of climate and resilience extends to geography as well!! All so unreal. Hoping insurance will drive the change.

I love this project! #ghostrivers #cities connecting heritage, environment, public art, and our urban impact in a way we can learn from it
Thanks CityLab & David Dudley for writing about Ghost Rivers and the critical ecological and resilience issues touched on by the project!

A ‘Ghost River’ Is Unearthed in Baltimore
To visualize the transformation of streams into sewers — and highlight the city’s water pollution woes — an artist reanimated an urban creek buried for more than a century.
