Ottawa is undergoing significant development, with a commitment of 151,000 new housing units by 2031. In Ottawa, 45% of our emissions come from buildings. Ottawans are experiencing climate change now, and equity-deserving communities are disproportionately impacted. These same communities have historically been absent or underrepresented from the urban planning and development process.\u00a0We have a significant opportunity\u00a0<\/strong>to reduce greenhouse gas emissions while addressing affordability of new builds\u2014while also empowering equity-deserving communities to contribute to the development process.\u00a0Our Climate Equity project aims to seize this opportunity for impact, directly addressing the long standing imbalance of participation in the urban planning and development process, and the need to empower all communities to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.<\/p>\n Join us\u00a0Wednesday, August 27th at 6:00 pm<\/strong>\u00a0for a workshop on\u00a0climate equity<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n
