Opinion: Housing and climate are inextricably linked. We must see action on both this election
Breadcrumb Trail Links Home Opinion Op-Ed While important public resources like cooling centres, public alerts and temporary supports are offered by many municipalities, they are insufficient and cannot substitute for safe, affordable housing — especially when they are underfunded and undervalued, write professors and researchers at the Urban Climate and Health Collective and the Centre for Climate Justice.
