Preparing for Climate Change
Scientists warn that future climate change is unavoidable. This is because the excess greenhouse gases already in the atmosphere will continue to drive climate change for decades to come.
Reducing GHG emissions and enhancing sinks on a global scale are expected to slow the rate, and perhaps the magnitude, of climate change over the longer term. This will buy time for species and ecosystems to adjust to its impacts, and for human communities to prepare, or “adapt”.
The Government of British Columbia is preparing for climate change and its impacts, and is ensuring that B.C. has the tools and knowledge needed to adapt.
