Resilience Peer Network (RSPN)

The Resilience Peer Network will allow stakeholders to bring expertise from their unique subject area and, in concert with other experts, collaborate on solutions that amplify beneficial outcomes and truly build resilience through community health, economic development, food security, and risk assessment for example. Further, bringing people together in one common space that may not normally collaborate with each other can minimize silos between ongoing work and expand opportunities for synergies. Network members will gain opportunities to receive support from their peers working in this space, learn from other’s successes and challenges, have strategic conversations to align the work that needs to be done with what is already happening, and identify and build best practices that will be dispersed throughout the province. 

For any questions please email peernetworks@communityenergy.ca

Talking it through: Guide for local government staff on climate adaptation

Do you need help starting climate conversations in your municipality? Check out our Talking it Through: A Discussion Guide for Local Government Staff on Climate Adaptation.

This resource was created to help municipal staff talk to decision-makers and elected officials about adapting to the local impacts of climate change. It can help you understand your community’s context, identify your most effective climate action allies, plan the content of your conversations, and navigate those discussions with knowledge and skill.

Together, we can make British Columbia a safer, more resilient province

ClimateReadyBC is an online platform to help the public and communities:

The platform is a disaster and climate risk reduction tool for public and community use.

It’s also a hub for future collaboration and growth. ClimateReadyBC will evolve through engagement with First Nations, local governments, and other partners.

Deeper collaboration and open access to risk data will prepare us to respond to disasters and climate-related events.

Our goal is to build a service that meets the needs of communities across British Columbia.
