    "Here in Vancouver, Mayor Gregor Robertson is well aware of the   
   potential health impacts of climate change.   
      
   In a phone interview with the Straight, he said that the city is   
   already taking steps to implement recommendations in its   
   climate-change adaptation strategy.   
      
   “We divvied that up into three main pieces, one being the   
   extreme-weather and heavy-rain events, two being sea-level rise, and   
   three being prepared for heat,” Robertson said.   
      
   One approach to address heat is beefing up the urban forest. The   
   mayor’s political party, Vision Vancouver, promised in the last   
   election campaign to plant 150,000 new trees by 2020" More here
