LIEN Annual Conference 2024 Short Version– “Cool it Now: Protecting Tenants from Extreme Heat“

This video is a summary version of the conference. Building on last year’s theme (“Turning up the Heat on the Right to Cooling”), this year’s Low-Income Energy Network (LIEN) conference focuses on advocating for the right to cooling amid rising temperature. Topics include: The need for energy efficiency policies in rental housing to be developed with an equity lens to address cost impacts for low-income tenants who may face challenges related to affordability and housing security, in the form of renovictions or above guideline rent increases. Legal opinion on municipal powers around the creation of maximum heat by-laws. A toolkit for activists on municipal advocacy around extreme heat and rental housing, including a model maximum heat bylaw and a template for deputations on extreme heat in rental housing. Updates on municipal advocacy around maximum heat bylaws from several jurisdictions: Hamilton, Toronto, Ottawa, Kingston. Hear from experts from the Canadian Environmental Law Association, Advocacy Centre for Tenants Ontario, Efficiency Canada, ACORN Canada, and more!
