Into the City

Into the Anthropocene

Over half of the world’s population lives in a city. How do these environments we’ve created for ourselves contribute to the rapidly changing climate?

In this episode, we tackle the urban Anthropocene. Sarain speaks with Julia Langer, CEO of the Atmospheric Fund in Toronto, about the role of cities in the fight against climate change, and what “cityzens” can do to help. We also meet Susan Blight, a Toronto-based Anishinaabe artist and activist, who discusses urban indigeneity and reclaiming space in cities through art and language.
