In BC, summer is a time for warmer temperatures, outdoor adventures and a break from the rain. Lately, it’s also when we’re on alert for high heat, the sinister side of those sunny, dry days.

Both adaptation and mitigation are foundational to our work at PICS. A number of our projects are working diligently on decreasing emissions from and making adaptations to wildfire, adapting to increasing temperatures, and responding to other consequences of the climate shift.
The PICS summer newsletter offers highlights on two such projects, both driven by solutions seekers.
