Toronto is experiencing weather that is hotter, wetter, and wilder, and these conditions are expected to worsen. For instance, the average number of days with temperatures above 30° C has already increased from 8 in the 1950s to 18 per year today. (City Council report, March 13, 2024) Following last April’s expert panel on climate and nature, this second panel will address how individual Toronto households can reduce their greenhouse gas emissions by reducing natural gas usage (especially with heat pumps), and adapt to warmer weather by planting gardens and engaging in urban forest stewardship. Panelists will include Abraham Wairisal, Senior Energy Consultant, City of Toronto, and Janet McKay, Executive Director, LEAF (Local Enhancement & Appreciation of Forests).
