Guiding Principles for Sea Level Rise Adaptation

↘ Use the best available science and practice adaptive management ↘ Seek adaptable, green and robust solutions that can be phased over time ↘ Seek “no regret” actions with co-benefits ↘ Pursue funding strategies based on value and equity ↘ Take a risk-based approach ↘ Be resilient by providing redundancy

Sea Level Rise - Causes

↘ 2015 warmest year on record (since 1880) ↘ 90% of new, excess heat is stored in the oceans – Thermal Expansion ↘ Melting of land ice (glaciers) – Antarctica and Greenland

Sea Level Rise

↘ Rising sea level is “the single most profound geological change in recorded human history” John Englander, 2016 ↘ Not a possible or a probable but a question of WHEN ↘ Amounts are unpredictable ↘ Unstoppable and irreversible for centuries ↘ Good news: slow so we can plan and adapt but must think BIG and FLEXIBLE enough

Immediate Next Steps

Begin Short Term projects: Jericho, Fraser River, Waterfront Road Work with other levels of Government:

  • Lower Mainland Flood Management Strategy, NDMP

funding, First Nations Collaboration

Broad: Education - Build Awareness and Understanding Project-Specific: Deeper dive into area-specific options

Engagement

64

slide-65
SLIDE 65

Engagement ↘ Broad community-wide Education: ↘ Causes and impacts of sea level rise ↘ What to expect in Vancouver ↘ Options for response ↘ Project-specific engagement (e.g. Southlands) ↘ Tell us what you think of the preliminary approaches ↘ Other approaches to consider ↘ Concurrently explore technical feasibility of options

65

slide-66
SLIDE 66

↘ Immediate Next Steps

↘ Develop flood warning systems and flood response plans ↘ Develop an Adaptive Management Strategy and start monitoring ↘ Limit Critical Infrastructure in floodplains ↘ Initiate a Financing Strategy ↘ Preserve Future Options through redevelopment, acquiring space, park planning

66

slide-67
SLIDE 67

Financial Considerations

↘ Funding Sources:

↘ Federal Government Funding ↘ Provincial Government Funding ↘ Regional / local contributions

↘ Potential Sources of Regional / Local Contributions

↘ Regional / Local Development Cost Charges ↘ Local Improvement Tax ↘ New area specific or city-wide fees or levies

↘ Next Steps

↘ Start planning now for long term funding mechanisms including advocacy for reliable and predictable Sr. Gov’t funding ↘ Area-specific projects will include funding strategy

67

slide-68
SLIDE 68

Recommendation

↘ Begin broad community education campaign ↘ Implement immediate next steps ↘ Initiate short term projects by 2017

↘ Concurrent engagement and engineering refinement

↘ In parallel develop a Sea Level Rise Response Strategy to outline medium and long term actions

↘ Project Initiation Dates and Decision Thresholds ↘ Project Team Requirements, Roles and Responsibilities ↘ Project Funding
