This presentation will cover various activities and initiatives the BC Ministry of Forests, Lands, and Natural Resource Operations has done over the past 10 years to respond to climate change. This includes the establishment of many research projects to assess the impacts of climate change to northern BC forests. An update on recent climate events, both locally and globally will also be shown. Climate adaptation plans will be introduced including the Ministry’s Climate Change Strategy as well as BC’s Climate Leadership Plan for reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The presentation will conclude with a discussion of knowledge gaps and recommendations.

The Natural Resources & Environmental Studies Institute (NRESi) at UNBC hosts a weekly lecture series at the Prince George campus. Anyone from the university or wider community with interest in the topic area is welcome to attend. Presentations are also made available to remote participants through Livestream. More information will be posted about these presentations as it becomes available.
