The British Columbia Council for International Cooperation (BCCIC) is a network of civil society organizations and individuals moving toward a better world based in British Columbia, Canada.
Its youth-led climate change branch focuses on providing sound and evidence-based policy recommendations to all levels of governments while representing the interests of Canadian youth at climate negotiations worldwide. Today’s guests are responsible for the BCCIC publication: CLIMATE JUSTICE TOOLKIT FOR MUNICIPALITIES.
Municipalities must recognize the intersectional impact of climate change and the crucial importance of climate justice to ensure that policy at the local level of governance is equitable.
As the closest jurisdiction to the ground, municipalities have great potential to ensure that climate action centres the voices and leadership of marginalized populations across British Columbia (BC) moving forward.

15 JUL. 2021 · Join me and Anat Banin, an Architect and Urban Designer from Tel Aviv, Israel.
Anat Banin is curious about where we feel ‘at home’, and why we feel better in some places more than others. She wants to build great neighbourhoods that people wholly connect with. Places where they feel especially at home.
Trained in Rhode Island and New York, now working in Israel, her work spans interior design to city planning. Anat ‘s work in architecture and urban design over the last 20+ years ranges from small interior renovations and private homes, to working with teams on entire neighbourhoods and cities. She feels most at home at the ends of the scale, the micro and the macro, in our most private spaces and the spaces beyond buildings. She believes that they are fundamentally connected in redefining and reframing our understanding of home. She maintains that home has to extend beyond the four walls of our house into our neighbourhoods.
In the past few years she has focused on training for city planning committees on policy reform.
In her free time she practices tsundoku (the art of buying books and never reading them) and is attempting to perfect her coffee making skills.
