Channel: The Elephant
Date: 2016-03-10

Toronto is Canada's biggest city, and it's also one of its biggest climate successes so far. While the average emissions for the country have been going up, Toronto has managed to not only meet its targets for cutting greenhouse gases, but exceed them by more than double. We sat down to speak with former Toronto mayor David Miller about some of the successful initiatives and policies the city put in place to meet its emissions cuts, what some of the challenges were, and why in his view social integration and climate sustainability go hand in hand.

Recorded for The Elephant: a podcast that looks at the stories and questions of climate change.
