The City of Vancouver has released an updated Climate Change Adaptation Strategy for 2024-25, building on previous plans from 2012 and 2018. The strategy outlines actions to reduce climate change risks and enhance resilience, with a focus on equity and addressing the impacts of extreme weather events.
Key Updates- Updated climate projections and policy context
- Increased focus on equity and climate-related hazards
- New indicator and financial framework
- Alignment with related City plans and strategies
- Council to approve the 2024-25 Climate Change Adaptation Strategy in principle
- Staff to report back in 2025 with a five-year update, alongside an update to the Climate Emergency Action Plan
- 2012: Council approved the first Climate Change Adaptation Strategy
- 2018: Council approved a five-year update to the Strategy
- 2023: Council approved the City's first Climate Budget
- Climate change is increasing the frequency and intensity of extreme events in Vancouver, with disproportionate impacts on under-served and equity-denied communities
- Climate projections for the 2050s under a high emissions scenario show increasing temperatures, longer summer dry spells, changing precipitation patterns, and approximately one metre of sea level rise by 2100
- Adaptation actions can support the green buildings sector, improve health and wellbeing, and promote biodiversity
- Investing in adaptation now can lead to significant avoided future costs and losses
