PCIC at Recent Indigenous Climate Events

PCIC is committed to advancing reconciliation by collaborating with First Nations, Indigenous communities, and organizations across BC to support community-led climate planning and knowledge sharing. PCIC participated in two climate events this Spring with mainly Indigenous audiences. The first event was the 4^th annual Indigenous Climate Resilience Forum hosted by the BC Ministry of Energy and Climate Solutions, Climate Action Secretariat, in which we presented an introduction to climate projections and climate data tools. The second event was the BC First Nations Climate Gathering in Musqueam, hosted by the First Nations Summit. This two-day in-person event featured a range of presentations, with PCIC providing an expert overview of past and future climate in BC, followed by sessions on regional climate impacts, wildfire and sea level rise. At our booth, we had engaging conversations with many First Nations and organizations regarding their climate-related work. We are grateful for the invitation to participate in these conversations, and for the opportunity to connect around our shared interests in increasing community climate resilience.
