In this meeting, a team of University of Toronto students who have worked with CAP in the last few months summarized their research on the main practices of climate integration in Urban Forestry and Stormwater Plans. In the second half of the meeting, we heard from Jade Schofield from Ontario Urban Forest Council, OUFC on their latest research on synergies between Urban Forestry Management and Climate Action Plans.
