We’re pleased to be partnering with the Faculty of Environment to present a talk with WICI Affiliate Researcher Dr. Sarah Burch on Friday, November 13 at the University of Waterloo.
Dr. Burch’s talk entitled “Transformative sustainability governance: triggering change on an urban planet” will explore the ingredients of effective sustainability governance in cities, set against the backdrop of Canada’s recent federal election and upcoming United Nations climate change negotiations in Paris. She will highlight the potential role of rarely discussed but crucial actors, such as small businesses, and speculate about the transformative potential of initiatives led by cities across the country, ultimately considering what is required to move from incrementalism to a system-wide shift towards resilient, low carbon cities.
Dr. Jason Thistlethwaite of SEED will also be speaking as part of this Environment Seminar Series. His talk is entitled “A financial survival guide to climate change: Start Saving now!”
