episode What Tree Equity Could Mean for the District cover

What Tree Equity Could Mean for the District

Do wealthier neighborhoods have more trees? Recent studies have shown that they do. The nonprofit American Forests is helping people visualize this reality with their Tree Equity Score, an online mapping tool that combines tree cover, race and socioeconomic data in the District and other cities around the country. This season finale features an interview with Alana Tucker, the senior director of the Tree Equity Alliance at American Forests. Tucker speaks with Hola Cultura’s executive director Christine MacDonald about how cities can use the Tree Equity Score, zoning code changes that could help preserve urban forests and how tree preservation doesn’t have to come at the cost of affording housing.

episode The Turning Point for the D.C. Region’s Tree Canopy cover

The Turning Point for the D.C. Region’s Tree Canopy

As trees move to the forefront of planning for climate change, U.S. cities are urgently setting tree canopy goals to make sure residents can continue to benefit from this resource that takes decades to grow. But development and other pressures aren't making it easy. In this week’s episode, host Marcelo Jauregui-Volpe speaks with members from the Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments, which recently set a tree canopy goal of 50% for the D.C. region. The episode will also feature interviews with leading experts that study deforestation and how the pollution and heat in cities uniquely affect tree growth.  Music (all tracks provided by Blue Dot Sessions) * Gale [https://app.sessions.blue/browse/track/119619] * Heather [https://app.sessions.blue/browse/track/213440] * Kresson [https://app.sessions.blue/browse/track/213442] * Thread of Clouds  [https://app.sessions.blue/browse/track/122885] * In Passage [https://app.sessions.blue/browse/track/122887] For the latest updates on episodes, follow us on all major social media platforms @holaculturadc [https://www.instagram.com/holaculturadc/].

episode The Competing Visions of D.C.’s Energy Future cover

The Competing Visions of D.C.’s Energy Future

D.C. utility company Washington Gas wants to continue replacing hundreds of miles worth of underground gas pipes over the next 30 years. Washington Gas says this plan, called PROJECTpipes, will reduce dangerous gas leaks and the methane emissions that sprout from them. But local council members, climate advocates and District agencies have questioned the effectiveness of this project, whose end date is nearly a decade after the city is supposed to be nearly fossil fuel free. Today’s episode will cover recent developments with PROJECTpipes and feature an interview with Tom Holen, a program manager at the London-based think tank InfluenceMap, which studies the advocacy strategies of oil and gas companies such as AltaGas Ltd., a Canadian utility that bought Washington Gas in 2017.  Music (all tracks provided by Blue Dot Sessions) * Gale [https://app.sessions.blue/browse/track/119619] * Heather [https://app.sessions.blue/browse/track/213440] * Kresson [https://app.sessions.blue/browse/track/213442] * Thread of Clouds  [https://app.sessions.blue/browse/track/122885] For the latest updates on episodes, follow us on all major social media platforms @holaculturadc [https://www.instagram.com/holaculturadc/].

episode New Ways To Warn About Extreme Heat, the “Silent Killer” cover

New Ways To Warn About Extreme Heat, the “Silent Killer”

With over a month left of summer, D.C. has already surpassed its yearly average of 90-degree days. As climate change causes longer and more intense heat waves, weather alerts are changing to better communicate the dangers of extreme heat to vulnerable populations. In this first episode of season 4, host Marcelo Jauregui-Volpe speaks with Jessica Lee, a public program coordinator at the National Weather Service, about HeatRisk, the agency’s new heat forecasting tool that informs heat sensitive populations when hot and muggy weather can be dangerous. The episode also features an interview with climate scientist Casey Ivanovich, about why she and her colleagues introduced the term “stickiness” to better understand extreme humid heat.  Link to HeatRisk: https://www.wpc.ncep.noaa.gov/heatrisk/ [https://www.wpc.ncep.noaa.gov/heatrisk/]  Link to HeatRisk survey: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/ExpNWSHeatRisk_2024 [https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/ExpNWSHeatRisk_2024]  Music (all tracks provided by Blue Dot Sessions) * Gale [https://app.sessions.blue/browse/track/119619] * Heather [https://app.sessions.blue/browse/track/213440] * Kresson [https://app.sessions.blue/browse/track/213442] * Thread of Clouds  [https://app.sessions.blue/browse/track/122885] For the latest updates on episodes, follow us on all major social media platforms @holaculturadc [https://www.instagram.com/holaculturadc/].

"The Climate Divide" Season 4: Today’s Decisions; Tomorrow's Climate Reality Trailer

The District has made ambitious commitments to expanding tree cover and transitioning away from fossil fuel use. The dates for some of these milestones may seem far away, but how the city plans and builds today will determine if we actually hit those targets. This fourth season of “The Climate Divide” will explore the important choices our government needs to make now to be climate resilient and protect the residents most vulnerable to extreme weather. The episodes will report on this historically hot summer, a controversial gas pipe replacement plan and the challenges faced by trees growing in cities.  New episodes coming August 7.  Cover art credit: Duane Lempke Photography [https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:SEDCsolar.jpg] (via Wikimedia Commons) Music (all tracks provided by Blue Dot Sessions) * Gale [https://app.sessions.blue/browse/track/119619]  For the latest updates on episodes, follow us on all major social media platforms @holaculturadc [https://www.instagram.com/holaculturadc/].
