• Summary Reports: City-hosted TransformTO Conversations

The City is exploring collaborative approaches to involve Indigenous Traditional Knowledges (ITK) and Indigenous communities in designing and delivering climate action in Toronto. The City partnered with Indigenous Climate Action (ICA) to design, host, and report on the outcomes of a workshop with Indigenous communities on urban climate action. The following report summarizes the learnings from the workshop.

• Indigenous Climate Action Report

This report created through the USDN Building Diversity Fellowship, offers recommendations on how best to engage marginalized and equity-seeking groups in developing climate action plans and designing and implementing climate solutions.

• Engagement & Equity Report

Reports on the City’s ongoing community engagement efforts:

• July/August 2019: Reference Panel on Climate Action
• August 2019: TransformTO Implementation Plan Public Meeting at Scarborough Civic Centre

The Environment & Energy Division commissioned three reports to explore how best to quantify the health, economic, equity and resilience benefits of the actions we take to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in Toronto. This is an emerging field of research and these reports are a foundation upon which to build in partnership with stakeholders and academia:

• Benefits of Actions to Reduce Greenhouse Gas Emissions in Toronto Health and Health Equity
• Benefits of Actions to Reduce Greenhouse Gas Emissions in Toronto Prosperity and Socio-Economic Equity
• Benefits of Actions to Reduce Greenhouse Gas Emissions in Toronto Climate Resilience
