Honest Actors and the Elephant In The Room
What can we learn from the conclusion of COP27 and budget week in Calgary?
The most important budget week in Calgary's history has come and gone, and amongst the biggest stories of that week was the record breaking turnout of Calians that took time out of their days to speak truth to power at city council. The wide majority of whom were asking in one way or another for a more climate, adaptive, healthy, and or fair place to live. We didn't get everything we asked for. But the good news is there are indeed wins to report in the policy realm. The big win was the expansion of our city's active transportation network, which really just means we're putting real resources towards Calgarians, getting around this city without needing a car at all and without creating emissions while they do it.
This episode will analyze the outcomes of this budget week, and we will come back on many issues discussed during the previous weeks. And still on the topics of follow-ups, we also reached out to our good friend Dr. Joe Vipond, back from Sharm El Sheikh, who will give us his impressions on the end of the conference and what to expect for future international climate talks.
