Urban Just Transitions
We are a research cluster at the University of Toronto Scarborough working with community partners towards equity and climate action
Menu
Listening to lived experiences and needs
Collaboratively generating research questions and actionable goals
Sharing knowledge and resources to empower equitable climate action work
Envisioning and building a more equitable and sustainable city
Trying to understand how to accelerate change
Focusing on the social, cultural, and political challenges of eliminating carbon pollution and addressing the climate crisis
Our research assistants are performing scans of policies and organizations that intersect with ‘just transitions’. They will also perform a scan of local “disruptions” caused by climate change.
We are working with community partners to determine how to address energy needs such as adequate heating and cooling, while keeping housing affordable.
We’re using publicly available data (e.g. Statistics Canada) to generate comparative, relational data of climate change impacts from community to regional scales.
This project proposes an off-road network of existing corridors to help people move around Scarborough without a car. We invite you to read the report and explore the interactive map.
