Climate change is already upon us. Right here in British Columbia, we’ve felt it in the record-breaking heat dome, ravaged salmon runs, and increasingly devastating wildfire seasons of recent years. With COP26 looming large, the question at hand is simple: what are we doing here in Vancouver to safeguard our planet, not just for ourselves, but for future generations?

The Vancouver Economic Commission (VEC) and SFU Beedie School of Business warmly invite you to join our representatives – VEC Manager of Economic Transformation George Benson and Andréanne Doyon of the Resource and Environmental Planning Program at SFU – along with Arman Mottaghi from Properate, David Oliver from Greenlines Technology, and Akua Schatz from the Canada Green Building Council.

Following a lively, moderated discussion with our panelists, we invite members of the live audience to engage in a Q&A on how we can best Future Proof Vancouver for Climate Change.
