She highlights initiatives like ISO 14001 certification and the Global Covenant of Mayors' commitment to climate change mitigation and adaptation. She reflects on Edmonton’s climate modeling efforts, addressing both historical and future risks, and the importance of public access to environmental data. She discusses the integration of resilience into urban planning, the challenges posed by acute shocks (extreme weather events) and chronic stresses (ecosystem shifts), and the need for collaboration across municipal, provincial, and federal levels. Tomaras also explores the role of gender in her team’s approach, emphasizing compassion and effective listening. She envisions Edmonton as a sustainable and resilient city, capable of thriving within its resources and preparing for the societal challenges posed by climate change.
