Community Climate Council

Had a fantastic time at the United for Change: Connecting Diversity, Equity, and the SDGs event hosted by Skills for Change this past Saturday! I was honored to be part of a panel discussion on “Navigating the Green Economy: Pathways to Youth Careers in Sustainability” alongside the amazing Faizan Ahmed and Miranda Baksh, M.E.S. A special shoutout to our moderator, Nya Lazarus-Munnick, for her excellent facilitation! It was so joyful to have our Master of Science in Sustainability Management Program rockstars on the panel! I was particularly inspired by Miranda's work in bringing the Community Climate Council to life. I was in awe to see such dedication to creating a more sustainable future. I also loved leading a workshop on managing burnout for climate professionals. We explored the key causes of climate burnout, human sustainability, and the importance of understanding the four stages of nervous system dysregulation (flight, fight, freeze, and fawn). This work is so meaningful, and I’m grateful to share my passion for deep nervous system and somatic work with such a receptive audience. A huge thank you to Linnet Kocheril for the opportunity and to everyone who came out to support! Your encouragement, warm hugs, and smiles made the day even more special. Many thanks to my friend Jenée Dionisio for capturing these moments!

#BreakingNews 📣 The latest Carbon Emissions Inventory is live and shows that total emissions increased across all six regions of the #GTHA for the third consecutive year. While a 2% total increase may seem marginal, the annual emissions reduction needed—now 11%—gets steeper, putting 2030 targets further out of reach. The overall news is discouraging, but the data highlights progress in some areas. More efficient buildings are making an impact, and #cycling, #walking, and #transit use are on the rise. Bending the curve is still possible, and we outline the transformative high-impact policies that can get us to our climate targets. This report also shows that while electricity consumption decreased, electricity emissions continue to rise driven by increasing carbon intensity of the provincial #grid, an alarming trend that emphasizes the urgent need to accelerate clean energy solutions and transition away from fossil fuels. Explore this year’s inventory as we break down emissions data, including new city-level data, share resources, and offer policy recommendations: https://lnkd.in/gskfnpaR    #CarbonEmissions #Report #EnergyEfficiency #ActiveTransportation #Decarbonization #ClimateAction #CleanEnergy #Policy #EmissionsReport

Brampton's healthcare system is facing a crisis 🚨. An NGO report reveals that residents experience some of the longest waits for essential services in Ontario. Over 60% of Brampton residents say access to family doctors and specialists has gotten worse in the last five years 🏥📉. The Brampton Health Coalition is calling for urgent action and more funding, but instead, our Premier plans to spend billions on unnecessary highways 🚗💸. ❗️It's time to prioritize healthcare!

Brampton's health is already at risk due to air pollution from nearby highways, leading to rising cases of respiratory illnesses like asthma 😷 🚗💨. Yet, our Premier plans to invest billions in building more highways instead of addressing the $39 million annual healthcare funding gap that leaves us with fewer beds, doctors, and longer wait times. We need better healthcare, not more highways! Take action today and help us fight for a healthier future.
