“…This means other forms of knowledge such as Indigenous and Black knowledge are excluded or marginally considered in the planning of climate actions. This leaves municipal actors often somewhat disconnected from the needs and realities of many equity‐ and sovereignty‐seeking groups (i.e., Indigenous groups) resulting in climate action solutions that have unintended consequences (Wilson et al, 2016). Without a deeper understanding of the underlying causes of the lack of engagement, there is a danger for municipal actors to use a “checkbox” approach as a quick superficial fix, that is, equity‐seeking groups are being engaged for the sake of checking a box or fulfilling a requirement rather than more meaningful engagement in decision‐making ( Indigenous Climate Action Summary Report , 2018).…”

There is growing recognition that often well‐intended climate action solutions perpetuate and exacerbate manifestations of colonialism and racism due to the lack of equity and justice considerations in designing and implementing these solutions. There is limited research exploring why the integration of these considerations are lacking in municipal climate action planning. This exploratory descriptive qualitative study explored how municipal actors perceive and understand equity and justice in municipal climate action planning as a step toward addressing this issue. Semistructured interviews were conducted with seven members of the core management group from ClimateAction Waterloo region, and a template analysis of the interview data resulted in six themes. Findings suggested that those involved in municipal climate action planning understand and perceive justice and equity considerations as important to their work, however, translating this understanding to practice is a challenge due to structural (governmental and societal) and capacity (limited time, funding, resources, and knowledge) barriers. By better understanding how key actors consider justice and equity, we identify shifting colonial mental models as a potential pathway for transformative change given the central role of these actors.

“…Upon refinement, two research team members helped to further refine the themes and ensure the key findings were aligned with the study objectives. In addition, a member checking session was held, in which participants were provided an opportunity to review the initial study findings and provide their feedback on whether the initial results accurately reflected their experiences (Lincoln & Guba, 1985). Of the 10 participants, four attended the member checking session and all confirmed that the initial results were representative of their experiences.…”

“…As intersectionality theory seeks to place black women and other oppressed groups at the centre of analysis, it can be useful in understanding the experiences of racialised LGBTQ+ newcomers. Due to their intersecting identities, these individuals experience a unique intersectional form of oppression from various communities, including the LGBTQ+ community, the larger Canadian community and their diasporic community (Kahn, 2015; Munro et al., 2013; Wilson et al, 2016), which can negatively impact their mental health and well‐being outcomes in complex ways.…”

Discrimination (i.e. racism, homo/bi/transphobia) at both the individual and systemic levels may negatively impact the well-being of racialised LGBTQ+ newcomers living in Waterloo Region, Ontario, Canada. Current research about the experiences ofLGBTQ+ newcomers focuses predominantly on homogeneous samples of gay men living in large metropolitan city centres. The present study aims to extend the current literature by exploring the experiences of discrimination and its impacts on well-being among racialised LGBTQ+ newcomers living in a small urban area and representing a variety of intersecting identities (i.e. ethno-racial background, LGBTQ+ identity, newcomer status). Using a qualitative method, 10 individuals were invited to complete a semistructured interview between fall 2019 and summer 2020 about their experiences of discrimination in Waterloo Region, and how such experiences impact their well-being. Using an intersectional lens, a thematic analysis revealed that racialised LGBTQ+ newcomers experienced discrimination before and after settlement in Waterloo Region. Prior to settlement, participants spoke predominantly about experiences of homo/biphobia and the associated feelings of internalised oppression.Alternatively, upon settling in Waterloo Region, experiences of discrimination were predominantly racism, and, in particular, systemic racism, which manifested as an inability to access adequate services and a lack of representation in various spaces throughout Waterloo Region. These results extend previous research by identifying the service barriers experienced by racialised LGBTQ+ newcomers living in a small urban area and can be used to inform best practices for addressing these barriers in Waterloo Region and other small urban areas with similar demographics. Implications and limitations are discussed.
