Taylor Legere is currently enrolled in the Master of Landscape Architecture program at the University of British Columbia. Her primary research interest is how to realize the climate adaptation benefits of protecting and restoring natural areas in cities without gentrifying communities that are already vulnerable to climate change. Previously, Taylor completed a Bachelor of Arts in Peace and Conflict Studies and Business at the University of Waterloo, where she studied the intersections of climate resilience and human rights, interpersonal conflict resolution, and sustainability. Professionally, Taylor managed the Intact Centre on Climate Adaptation (Intact Centre), an applied research centre providing guidance to Canadians on how to reduce flood, wildfire, and extreme heat risks. In this role she supported a variety of research, operations, and design projects to help the Intact Centre disseminate research on climate adaptation. As one of the new Graduate Fellows at the Disaster Resilience Research Network, Taylor looks forward to continuing to research disaster resilience in British Columbia.
