Climate Change Resources

A changing climate presents challenges for many BC communities. The projected impacts include more frequent and intense storms, precipitation and flooding, as well as more periods of extreme heat, dryness and drought, and changes in ecological systems.

Leaders in government and other spheres of responsibility can play an important role in reducing the greenhouse gas emissions that drive climate change and in helping communities prepare for greater resilience. The Fraser Basin Council is here to help.

BC Climate Action Toolkit

The BC Climate Action Toolkit is a first-stop website that offers BC communities news, events, resources and tools to support their work in reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

The site is supported through a partnership between the joint Provincial-UBCM Green Communities Committee and the Fraser Basin Council.

ReTooling for Climate Change

To minimize the impacts and disruptions of a changing climate, there are opportunities for community leaders to plan for low carbon climate resilience, by making both climate change mitigation and adaptation integral to their strategies, plans and policies.

The ReTooling for Climate Change website helps communities build resilience to the impacts of a changing climate. Visit the site for adaptation news, events, case studies, reports, guides, tools, policies and plans and videos. The resource library is packed ─ take a look!

Where We Work

We are grateful to live and work on the unceded ancestral territories of the Indigenous Nations of British Columbia.

Social well-being supported by a vibrant economy and sustained by a healthy environment.

Strategic Priorities

At the Fraser Basin Council, our strategic priorities are to take action on climate change, support healthy watersheds and water resources, and build sustainable and resilient communities.

With our partners, we work on a range of collaborative, multi-sector initiatives, such as those focused on flood management, community wildfire planning, air quality improvement, energy-efficient buildings, green transportation (including the uptake of electric vehicles and expansion of charging infrastructure), watershed planning and youth-driven climate action projects.
