Why 2o C?

In order to stay below 2°C a 70%-80% reduction in greenhouse gases by 2050 is required

Future Climate Change Impacts in Metro Vancouver

  • Hotter, drier summers
  • Warmer, Wetter winters
  • More extreme heat and precipitation events
  • Minimum 1 meter sea level rise by 2100
  • Changes in local species and ecosystems

1.1 Ensure that the strategy provides a long-term vision, reflects a comprehensive analysis and provides the means for assessing progress.

42

slide-43
SLIDE 43

1.2 The strategy should:

  • Be ambitious and demonstrate leadership;
  • Align with members’ plans;
  • Set mid-term and long-term targets;
  • Integrate the corporate climate action plans of

Metro Vancouver and members;

  • Incorporate a regional approach to climate

change adaptation;

  • Provide for a transition to clean or renewable

energy sources; and

  • Identify the roles in implementing the strategy for

Metro Vancouver, members, other orders of government, the private sector and the public.

43

slide-44

FRAMEWORK FOR COORDINATING CLIMATE ACTION

Implementation Plans and Policies Existing Management Plans: IAQGGMP, RGS, ILWRMP, ISWRMP, DWMP, RPP New Plans/Policies: Regional Adaptation, Corporate Adaptation, etc.

IRCAS vision, goals, actions, and performance measures influence the renewal of the implementation plans

Integrated Regional Climate Action Strategy Vision & Mission High Level Targets/Goals Issue Area #1 Issue Area #2 Issue Area #3 Issue Area #4 Rationale for Action

Existing actions and priorities in implementation plans incorporated in IRCAS

Communications for Climate Action Consistent terms, concepts, images,

  • etc. that resonate

with target audiences

Updating and adjusting

  • n a regular basis, using

a 5-year horizon, in line with budgets and work planning

Provides a link between actions across Metro Vancouver through language and images

The Metro Vancouver region is a global leader in the response to climate change.

Draft Vision

50

slide-51
SLIDE 51
  • Establish a cohesive regional approach to climate action based on

measureable and attainable targets.

  • Bring together and coordinate organizations and individuals in Metro

Vancouver who are working to adapt and mitigate

  • Complement actions already taking place by a wide variety of internal

and external stakeholders.

  • Create a multiplier effect and offer direction through existing and new

initiatives and projects.

  • Inspire others to take action.
