Outline

This Learning Guide is divided into three parts:

Part 1 is meant to provide the background and rationale for social equity considerations. It covers:

• Social equity concepts and key relevant terms for the purpose of this guide
• Approaches to enhance social equity that can inform city policies and plans
• Information on key issues related to the impacts of social equity
• Other benefits and considerations of adopting a social equity approach

Part 2 delves into some overarching social equity considerations, and Part 3 into social equity considerations specific to each forest level.

Apart from a description of social equity issues, most slides also include case-studies and a ‘Resources’ section that links to tools, guidance, and research on how these issues can be addressed.
