    A group of trees with no leaves against a blue sky
    Talk in the Park: An inquiry into culture and creativity
    David Haley, Walney Island

    Rightly, people recently have been valuing Indigenous cultures and writing about them. Not wishing to mimic or appropriate, but as an attempt to learn from such ways of thinking, this essay uses a form of circular storying[1] that becomes nonlinear. I stumbled upon ‘storying’ (the making and telling of stories)...

    Urban Mining: A Sustainable Alternative to the Environmental Impacts and Social Injustices of Extractive Mining
    Graciela Arosemena, Panama City

    Every human activity generates environmental impacts, such as in the case of urban settlements. Conventionally, the urban environmental impacts that are more worrisome are those that are the result of the city itself, such as urban solid wastes and water contamination. These wastes are the remains of urban metabolism, and...

    What if Women Designed the City? A Voyage from Brutalism to Biophilia
    May East, Edinburgh

    Nestled within the lively and restless Leith neighbourhood stands the iconic curved structure of Cables Wynd House, immortalised in Irvine Welsh’s novel “Trainspotting” and referred to by locals as the Banana Flats. Constructed in the 1960s, Cables Wynd is considered one of Britain’s greatest post-war buildings designed in the Brutalist...

    Ecosystem Approach Framework Well-Suited for Urban Areas
    John Hartig, Windsor

    Historically, North American urban environmental and natural resource management was operationalized in a top-down, command-and-control fashion. In general, governments prepared plans and made decisions with some limited input from other stakeholders. Over time, this shifted to a more bottom-up, collaborative approach ― an ecosystem approach. The ecosystem approach is not...

    Praneeta Mudaliar, Mississauga

    Youth voices advocating for climate justice have emerged as a significant force for shedding light on the escalating challenges that climate change will create in their current and future lives.

    Solving the Global Water Crisis
    Chantal van Ham, Brussels

    In 2010, the UN General Assembly explicitly recognized the human right to water and sanitation. Equal access to safe and clean water, however, requires a major change in how decisions over use and rights to water are made and needs appropriate legal frameworks to curb over-extraction and unsustainable behavior. Qanats...

    In early September 2019, a plant known as Jimson weed (Datura stramonium) was considered one of the top threats to public safety in New York City. Although fairly common in the region, a Tweet from Adrian Benepe, the former commissioner of NYC Parks & Recreation went viral after he found...

    Nature-based Solutions Are Gaining Momentum in Brazilian Cities
    Cecilia Herzog, Rio de Janeiro

    After more than 15 years of teaching, researching, consulting, and advocating for nature-based solutions (NBS) in Brazil, it’s really fulfilling to see NbS becoming nationally recognized and adopted in several Brazilian cities. In this essay, I present my view of the process that led to this moment. It has had...

    Discovering Stewardship Through Play: Using Applied Theater Techniques for Environmental Education
    Ania Upstill, New York

    Human impacts on the environment are no joke, and climate change is one of the biggest challenges facing humanity. So, Environmental Education (EE) is serious business. Given the context, it is understandable that EE is usually communicated to adults through serious methods of communication such as lectures, information sessions, and...

    The White City. Thus, Tel Aviv refers to itself, taking its cue from the many buildings built in the International Style in the 1930s by the avant-garde architects who had studied in Europe or come to Palestine to escape Nazi Germany. Some had studied at the Bauhaus, and the term...

    Ana Pinheira, Guimarães

    Invasive species cause one of the greatest threats to biodiversity and ecosystems worldwide.

Invasive species have the capacity to establish, reproduce, and spread uncontrollably,...
