Great news! Will this provide an opportunity for more workers to transition to jobs in ecosystem restoration? @s_guilbeault @theUSDN
.@Jonathan_WNV and I have announced Canada's commitment to restoring 19 million hectares of degraded and deforested land by 2030. With 62 global partners, the Bonn Challenge will protect 350 million hectares of restored land by 2030.

I'm a strong federalist, but it's long past time to recognize cities as a key level of government and give them the financial and policy tools to deliver. On climate, housing, equity, health - they are on the front lines. #cdnpoli @CANURB @theUSDN
“It’s time now for a discussion on needed reforms to municipal finance to finally grant municipalities the revenue tools they need.” Indeed, it’s well past time. We need a serious conversation among all orders of government. Cities are ready. thestar.com/opinion/editoria…

Resilience Hubs are community-led centers that increase the well-being of marginalized communities before, during, and after a disruption. Listen to staff from @CambCommCenter share what the center and their work means to them: youtube.com/watch?v=DYBHVd2-…

⏪ ICYMI: USDN's @bajak10 and Carmelita of @theBHACl shared their experiences on building #climateresilience and #resiliencehubs last week at #COP27. A key message: focus on the people.
A core theme of #cop27 is implementation. It was wonderful to co-present with Carmelita Sanchez today on @theUSDN #resiliencehubs and to show what climate action and shifting power looks like at the neighborhood level. Grateful to #racetoresilience for the opportunity!
