What Tree Equity Could Mean for the District 20:19

for 30 weeks siden20:19

20:19

Do wealthier neighborhoods have more trees? Recent studies have shown that they do. The nonprofit American Forests is helping people visualize this reality with their Tree Equity Score, an online mapping tool that combines tree cover, race and socioeconomic data in the District and other cities around the country. This season finale features an interview with Alana Tucker, the senior director of the Tree Equity Alliance at American Forests. Tucker speaks with Hola Cultura’s executive director Christine MacDonald about how cities can use the Tree Equity Score, zoning code changes that could help preserve urban forests and how tree preservation doesn’t have to come at the cost of affording housing.

As trees move to the forefront of planning for climate change, U.S. cities are urgently setting tree canopy goals to make sure residents can continue to benefit from this resource that takes decades to grow.

D.C. utility company Washington Gas wants to continue replacing hundreds of miles worth of underground gas pipes over the next 30 years. Washington Gas says this plan, called PROJECT pipes , will reduce dangerous gas leaks and the methane emissions that sprout from them. But local council members, climate advocates and District agencies have questioned the effectiveness of this project, whose end date is nearly a decade after the city is supposed to be nearly fossil fuel free. Today’s episode will cover recent developments with PROJECT pipes and feature an interview with Tom Holen, a program manager at the London-based think tank InfluenceMap, which studies the advocacy strategies of oil and gas companies such as AltaGas Ltd., a Canadian utility that bought Washington Gas in 2017.

With over a month left of summer, D.C. has already surpassed its yearly average of 90-degree days. As climate change causes longer and more intense heat waves, weather alerts are changing to better communicate the dangers of extreme heat to vulnerable populations.

The episode also features an interview with climate scientist Casey Ivanovich, about why she and her colleagues introduced the term “stickiness” to better understand extreme humid heat.
