Climate - Tree Cities Ontario

By TPLCulture

Scientists and engineers are anxiously seeking out new technology to help the Earth reach carbon neutrality. However the answer might be sitting just above our heads, trees. In this panel conversation, TPL convenes a panel of experts working in the field of urban ecology in Ontario to discuss the use of trees in modern ecological and scientific urban planning practices.
About this Event's Guests:
Danijela Puric-Mladenovic (Daniels Forestry, UofT) Patrick Gilbride (Reep Green Solutions) Mark Sherman (City of Toronto) Dr. Stephen Monet (City of Greater Sudbury)
*** This event is part of TPL's On Civil Society: Climate series, a year-long programming initiative that explores the effects that climate change is having on the only habitat we have. We are faced with radical and unknown effects on the world’s oceans, rivers, wildlife and diminishing biodiversity. These new realities of a future world paint a sobering picture that disrupts the very idea of humankind and its interventions on the planet.
Each month we focus on a different facet of the topic, featuring some of the world’s most innovative thinkers, scientists, activists, journalists and artists. Critical and long-neglected voices offer new perspectives on where we went wrong and, perhaps, some solutions for a healthy, sustainable and equitable future for our planet.
We will offer tools to help you weigh in with your opinions and experience, but more than this, we aim to inspire in at least some of you the desire to get involved in any way that works for you: through panels, lectures, field trips and workshops, key organizations will help you see some of those working for our planet that we didn’t even know about. On Civil Society: Climate is a collaborative project sponsored by Toronto Public Library, the Consulat Général de France à Toronto et Institut Français.
