Evidence Based Guidance on Integrating Research into Climate Change Risk Assessments in British Columbia
PICS has convened leading experts, practitioners, and Knowledge Holders to discuss and document best practices for climate risk assessment and identify pressing information gaps. Through a series of workshops, this project, Evidence Based Guidance on Integrating Research into Climate Change Risk Assessments in British Columbia, will develop research agendas and set of recommendations for the province on climate risk assessment practices.
This project received financial support from the Government of British Columbia, Ministry of Emergency Management and Climate Readiness, in support of the ministry’s mandate to evaluate climate risks.
Enhancing climate risk assessment
Inclusive knowledge and evidence to inform climate risk assessments in British Columbia
Innovative solutions to identify and adapt to climate risks
PICS supports research and engagement that helps Nations, communities, and municipalities create policies and take actions to be more resilient to major climate risks. Those risks can include extreme weather, floods, wildfire, heat emergencies, and resulting impacts like power outages.
This work generates insight and solutions that can reduce risk of disasters, transforming communities and ecosystems to better weather our changing climate.
