On this month's Climate Lens, we welcome one of the world's top urbanists, Canadian Brent Toderian. He has been shaping conversations around smart, sustainable cities for decades, including right here in Calgary. Most recently, he co-curated the "From Paris to Belém" exhibition, an international effort celebrating urban climate policy, and connecting it to global climate goals ahead of this year’s COP30 climate summit in Brazil. With Alberta’s municipal elections fast approaching, who better to have on and tell us what types of climate solutions we can apply at the local level for a safe and prosperous climate-smart future, and what types of policies must we avoid at all costs?
