Abstract

As climate change continues to grow and impact our world, so does the response from activists across the world. Climate justice activists take many forms and employ many strategies to effect change in policy of or public opinion on greenhouse gas emissions. Through York University's Academic Innovation Fund dedicated to creating open source, publicly available course content, we've created 6 video segments interviewing grassroots climate justice activists from Toronto, a city with many climate justice organizations and efforts. Here we meet Christopher Lortie, an ecologist and professor at York University, and Malory Owen, an ecologist and climate justice activist who will be facilitating the future conversations in this series.
