About the lecture
In this session, Dr. Liton Chakraborty, Visiting Scholar and Adjunct Faculty Member at York University and a Policy Leader with the Government of Canada, shares insights on patterns of distributive environmental justice in Canada through the lens of multi-hazard and environmental risk. In this session, we learn about how climate-related and environmental risks—such as floods, wildfires, and earthquakes—disproportionately impact marginalized communities, including Indigenous peoples, low-income households, and racialized populations. Drawing on current research and case studies, the talk highlights spatial and systemic inequities in risk exposure, access to resources, and recovery capacities. The session invites discussion on how data-driven analysis and inclusive policy design can help address environmental injustices and build resilience across diverse Canadian communities.
