Outline

This learning guide starts with providing 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

The following cards then delve into some overarching as well as forest-specific social equity considerations.

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