| Show Topic: Urban Trees and Climate
Main Messages We can have instrumental understanding of trees as green infrastructure; we can love trees (have affective relationship with them); we can have understanding where trees themselves have agency. Unpacking these ways of understanding trees gives us important insights about community activists, about the City’s institutional behaviours, and how this relates to climate change. The City’s instrumental construct is actually just a disingenous facade to (a) hide that they are not in fact ready to protect trees when citizens call for that; and (b) hide that they are not undertaking the urgent systemic and structural actions needed to lessen Ottawa’s carbon footprint and adapt.

| 2024 Ottawa-Gatineau Climate March // Marche pour le climat Ottawa-Gatineau 2024
https://www.fridaysforfutureottawa.org/ Climate change is a global environmental crisis that impacts everyone on the planet, but that doesn’t mean that we are all equally responsible for causing it, nor are we responsible for Canada’s lack of action. This September, Fridays for Future Ottawa-Gatineau is calling out seven organizations that are blocking effective climate policy, spreading misinformation, and providing funding to the disastrous fossil fuel industry. On September 21, join us as we march to the downtown locations of the six CLIMATE CULPRITS standing in the way of climate action. We invite you to join us as we Expose Canada’s Climate Culprits! |
