    Extreme heat will make Northern Territory unlivable within 40 years

    "Extreme heat is deadly, and governments at all levels are failing to keep Territorians safe and our unique and precious environments healthy. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples will disproportionately experience the effects of climate change. Heat is a social justice issue."

  7. Heat kills
    "Analyses are stark evidence of how global heating is already supercharging deadly weather beyond anything ever experienced by humanity. The impossible heatwaves have taken lives across North America, Europe and Asia, with scientific analyses showing that they would have had virtually zero chance of happening without the extra heat trapped by fossil fuel emissions."

  12. "Our leaders are collaborators with fossil fuel colonialists. This is the source of our communal dread. We act like colonial subjects because, in effect, that’s what we are. A child born now will experience 24 times the number of extreme climate events as a politician born in the 1960s. The IPCC’s latest report states emphatically that to spare the worst effects of climate breakdown there should be no new fossil fuel development."

  13. It would be a nifty GIS project as kids are going back to school to map out the individual travel paths of all the kids and families going to school and waiting in their big mega-dropoff-and-pickup lines, and determine how many of those routes are actually better walked/bicycled. #gis #livability #urbanplanning

  14. From the Green Party of #Vancouver

    On Wednesday, June 12, Councillor Adrian Carr, in partnership with Councillor Christine Boyle from OneCity, will present a motion to expand Vancouver’s tree canopy, and plant 100,000 climate resilient trees in neighborhoods where there are fewer trees.

    🌲Why is this important?

    Urban tree canopies provide numerous benefits that enhance the #livability and #sustainability of our city.

  15. Hornsby is the fifth best place to live in Australia, apparently.

    At least, according to a study SGS Economics and Planning:

    "Sydney's Northern beaches ranks as the highest in the nation for wellbeing, with only one Queensland city making it to the top 10, the annual index revealed today.

    "The Australian Capital Territory came in second due to its low gender wage gaps, climate change risks and the division of wealth."

    The study assessed 518 local council areas on seven indicators:

    * economy
    * income and wealth
    * employment, knowledge and skills
    * housing
    * health
    * equality, community and work-life balance
    * environment

    The top 10 local government areas are:

    1. Northern Beaches (Greater Sydney)

    2. Australian Capital Territory

    3. North Sydney (Greater Sydney)

    4. Ku-ring-gai (Greater Sydney)

    5. Hornsby (Greater Sydney)

    6. Lane Cove (Greater Sydney)

    7. Mosman (Greater Sydney)

    8. Sutherland (Greater Sydney)

    9. Sydney (Greater Sydney)

    10. Brisbane (Greater Brisbane)

  16. I used to shop at the Safeway that's mentioned in paragraph 3 of this article. It's true; grocery stores are critical for making a neighborhood livable. Kudos to @deanpreston for reintroducing this act; I'd vote for you again if I still lived in D5!

  17. Civilise the town!

    The Bellingen, CBD Master Plan 2024

    "We are making a new master plan for the CBDs of Bellingen, Dorrigo and Urunga and we want the community, business owners, visitors and stakeholders to share with us your ideas. A master plan is a strategic document outlining a long-term vision and implementation strategy for guiding growth and change in an area."

    "The upcoming draft master plan for Bellingen, Dorrigo, and Urunga CBDs will influence the future appearance, atmosphere, and functionality of the town centres. It will address various factors, including land use, building density, public spaces, mobility, sustainability, and heritage"

    "We have created different avenues for you to provide ideas and feedback to help shape the vision and focus for the future of your town. To get started, you can complete our short (5 minute) survey for your town below. The survey will be active from 18 January - 18 February 2024"

    The next meeting will be held on 12.02.2024, 6.30 pm

  18. A new paper proposes a #framework—the #PlanetaryCommons—which differs from the global #commons framework by including not only globally shared geographic regions but also critical #biophysical systems that regulate the #resilience and state, and therefore #livability, on #Earth. The new planetary commons should create comprehensive #stewardship obligations through Earth system #governance aimed at restoring and strengthening planetary resilience and #justice.

  19. The following three videos use locations in Munich to demonstrate how urban public spaces can be made more human-friendly:

  20. "We are living through a “polycrisis”, a tangled mess of multiple crises, all happening at once." Aarathi Krishnan

    "Is Australia as prepared? What if with rising heat, and more complex fire patterns, land gets razed to the point it is unliveable for most of the population? What if the geopolitical decisions being made today might make Australians less welcome in other countries, and less able to cross borders?"

    "Being future-oriented is integral to addressing injustices that have long prevailed. Crises, from climate emergencies to pandemics to wars, thrive in the cracks in society, exploiting and exacerbating myriad inequalities. The norms that prioritise the immediate at the expense of the future perpetuate the inequity and exclusion we must address."

    "Multilateral institutions are also shifting their practices to be future-oriented and anticipatory"

  21. I guess the great bit about now living in a city and particularly #Glasgow it means stuff is on my doorstep. I was a good half hour from London before and that was expense central. It was all going on but only if you had money. #cities #living #livability

  22. Car free zones in #Bellingen?
    In 2017, Ghent introduced its circulatieplan (circulation plan) which removed traffic from the city centre using #carfree zones.
    Since then there has been more space for #pedestrians and cyclists with only a select group of vehicles such as emergency services, trams, buses and taxis able to enter.

  24. As Vienna is drowning in snow, thank you to the City for inventing the three-sided fence to protect its citizens from slippery walking paths. The elderly, parents with strollers, and people with restricted mobility love it! #Accessibility #Livability
