Sustainability framework introduced as Regina works to reduce emissions
Authors Simon Enoch and Emily Eaton held an event Thursday to officially launch the report.
“We can’t afford to treat the framework and equity as an afterthought or on a case-by-case basis. It has to be a guide to a comprehensive strategy and should determine what kinds of projects and policies come before council.” “We are in the middle of a global energy transition,” Eaton said. “Our economy here is very dependent on fossil fuel production, and our cities are designed to consume fossil fuels. So as those are phased out globally, we do need to prepare for this future.”The report also outlines the importance of not forgetting underprivileged communities when it comes to implementing equity with things like bike lanes, proper disposable infrastructure and transit services.
