Unhoused Under Pressure | Air Pollution, Wildfire and Smoke Workshop

From extreme heat to air pollution, the impacts of climate change are hitting our Downtown Eastside neighbourhood hard. As the climate crisis intersects with a housing crisis, people experiencing homelessness face compounding mental and physical health challenges as a direct result of these converging threats.

Each session will focus the three major climate change impacts: extreme heat, air pollution, and extreme cold and flooding. There will be a panel of experts discussing the report along with a time for a Q&A. In each session, you will have the ability to discuss the report in breakout groups, ask questions and come out with practical tools to help yourself and/or others midigate climate change.
