private sector investment.
*A
chieve Environmental Justice Goals: Low-income and
communities of color often suffer from hazards like
poor air quality, lower tree canopy, and a greater urban
heat island. Green infrastructure investments should
aim to right these historical injustices, while being part
of a strategy that also minimizes displacement through
gentrification.
* Incorporate Job Training and Workforce Development:
Plans should encompass workforce development programs
to not only create the necessary skilled workforce, but to
also help achieve a just transition to a low-carbon economy
for workers.
WORKING WITH COMMUNITIES
Many communities across North America face the same
issues: aging water infrastructure, vulnerability to flooding,
increasing urban heat islands, and a lack of capacity to use
green infrastructure to address these and other challenges. As
part of a Climate Adaptation Partners Grant Project funded
by the Government of Canada through the Federation of Canadian Municipalities, the Green Infrastructure Foundation
and the Ontario Parks Association partnered with six Ontario
communities to build green infrastructure capacity through
training and green infrastructure charrettes. This work
resulted in the recent release of the Green Infrastructure for
Climate Adaptation report. (See greeninfrastructurefoundation.org)
Staff from Barrie, Brampton, Guelph, London, Toronto,
and Waterloo gathered for a day with private and non-profit
experts to re-imagine actual sites in each of their communities. These sites, which are going through the planning and
redevelopment process, were subjected to a green infrastructure design charrette. A menu of green infrastructure types
was applied to these sites, with the goals of leveraging green
infrastructure's many benefits and creating more climate
resilient communities. We conducted aggregate cost-benefit
analysis of these redesigns, with the goal of combining visuals
and economic analysis to showcase the green infrastructure
alternatives. Here are some highlights.
GREEN INFRASTRUCTURE INSTALLATION AND
MAINTENANCE COULD PROVIDE THE MEANINGFUL
AND LOW-CARBON JOBS OF THE 21ST CENTURY.
