What happens to cities happens to the world. They produce 80 per cent of global GDP and are home to 56 per cent of the global population. In the US, whereas Donald Trump watched the country succumb to drought and wildfire, 474 mayors are working together to try to be part of the solution, not the problem. As they know, if we re going to conquer the climate crisis, cities are at the heart of how we will do it.

Who didn’t have a shiver running down their spine listening to U.S. Youth Inauguration poet Amanda Gorman’s poem, “The Hill We Climb”? I know I did. In part, because I know that when it comes to climate change, we’re a long way off from justice. Her poem inspired the title of the UBC Sustainability Initiative’s first Climate Justice free webinar coming up on Friday (March 5): Just Is ≠ Justice.
The notion of climate justice confronts the fact that marginalized people the world over suffer from environmental damage they had no part in creating.
