Severe weather in Northern B.C. and Yukon possible this week. And the risk is amplified when there is no weather radar in the region. It is critical that 🇨🇦 expand radar coverage as climate change increases severe wx in the North.

The Ministry of Housing proposed adding a max indoor temp "of not more than 26°C" to the BC building code. But CC isn't included in the proposal: "designers are permitted to use historical climate data." I.e. a 26°C design will be more like 30°C. www2.gov.bc.ca/assets/gov/far…

🇨🇦 "has committed $1.6 billion over several years to new or expanded programs.... this only keeps federal adaptation funding at current levels because other programs are ending.

The pressure is on to invest more in adaptation as the impacts of climate change get worse. The sooner governments across 🇨🇦 start implementing the new National Adaptation Strategy, the sooner it will pay off, saving lives and livelihoods. Our take on what’s next 👇 #cdnpoli

🌡️will increase in the coming years & 🇨🇦 will see more 🔥 Policy is needed to close the gap between these worlds. Here’s an example of a live policy issue: www2.gov.bc.ca/assets/gov/far…

🇨🇦 has an adaptation gap. Governments are picking up steam, but the gap is still outpacing policy.

Policies must change to better protect people against climate change. The #NAS takes some important steps, but all orders of government will need to do a lot more to protect people & communities.

We looked at the health costs of the June 4 to 8 wildfires. We linked changes in air quality in Ontario to health outcomes. Costs were an estimated $1.28 billion in one province alone, over a single week. @sstiebert welburnconsulting.ca @ClimateInstit climateinstitute.ca/with-the-fores…

1/ In 2021, wildfires in the country’s managed forest areas produced 293 Mt of GHG's. During the same period, forests only removed 540,000 tons. The resulting 292 Mt are equivalent to 40% of Canada’s GHG emissions from every other source that year. theglobeandmail.com/canada/article…

🔴 STORY: BC's River Forecast Centre has issued an alarming & bleak drought prediction We are in an 'outlier' season: In many places the snow is gone a month earlier than normal. And it's been so hot and dry, it's hard to predict what will happen next. fvcurrent.com/p/bc-snowpack-…

Important piece! 👇 "federal per capita investment in adaptation in the U.S. is roughly 3-4x that of Canada. As lopsided as this may sound, there is another wrinkle. Canada is warming at 3x the rate of the U.S." @ClimateProofCA @CAPE_ACME theglobeandmail.com/business/comme…

After examining 2700 studies on vulnerability, resilience, and adaptation, we found that 90% do not explicitly articulate their theoretical foundations. We seem to spin in circles by conducting analyses with incommensurable and inconsistent findings 1/5🧵 sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
