6. Employ nature-based solutions

• Incorporate traditional knowledge in solutions/actions (e.g., through collaboration with traditional knowledge keepers/sylix nation)
• Ensuring that green infrastructure is not just concentrated in wealthier areas but is also present in underserved or marginalized communities to provide equal environmental and health benefits. For example, targeting tree canopy expansion to areas of low tree equity (areas with low tree canopy and higher social vulnerabilities) is one way to help populations who may be more susceptible to extreme heat.
• Green infrastructure should be accessible to all, regardless of age, ability, or socio-economic status. This includes designing parks, green spaces, and walking trails that are wheelchair accessible and have amenities for various age groups and abilities.
