CO-CARBON: Envisioning carbon-smart and just urban green infrastructure
Project description
We will administer online and workshop based surveys to random samples of adults and youth in the case study areas to better understand their place-based values for carbon-smart urban green infrastructure (UGI) on private, semi-public and public lands. We will also elicit their environmental justice concerns with regards to the implementation of UGI (including recognition issues associated with gender, ethnicity and class). We will also assess residents’ preferences for policy instruments and incentives (e.g., education, finance, carbon-offsets) to steer residents towards carbon-smart UGI.
