8		Why we created this 💡	Many organizations and grassroots collectives are working to address extreme heat in their communities. As this is an emerging challenge, groups often operate independently, which can lead to duplication of efforts, inefficient use of resources, lack of coordination, and a lack of unified policy advocacy. This knowledge base was design to support front-line organizations and grassroots groups in Vancouver to share strategies, resources, and information, identify gaps in their responses, learn about various policy options, and coordinate a more unified advocacy response.
