Tracking the impacts of climate mitigation and energy transition actions on health in Toronto among vulnerable communities

Theme: Buildings

Summary: As part of this fellowship, Ian will work with colleagues across U of T to identify and develop the conceptual framework to describe the health impacts of climate change and climate actions across the Greater Toronto Area. The outcome will identify a set of potential indicators that can be used to identify risks and opportunities for health, especially among communities who are climate and health vulnerable, in order to better be able to develop a broad coalition of stakeholders to support climate positive actions that can enable greater resilience and inclusive societies within a thriving ecosystem.

Climate Positive Energy has integrated into the Lawson Climate Institute.

Integration of the Climate Positive Energy Initiative (CPE) into the Lawson Climate Institute (LCI) represents a strategic evolution that amplifies University of Toronto’s collective impact on climate solutions. CPE's established expertise in sustainable energy research and innovation becomes a cornerstone of the Lawson Climate Institute's comprehensive mandate to address the climate crisis through technology, policy, and education.

Existing and ongoing grants, research projects, partnerships, and other activity under Climate Positive Energy will continue uninterrupted and will transition to operate under the Lawson Climate Institute brand in the coming months.
