Adapting to Climate Change in the Lower Mainland of British Columbia
As part of the Natural Resource Canada funded project on climate change adaptation in the Fraser Basin of British Columbia, EKOS produced two 12 min. videos designed to stimulate dialogue among local government representatives, scientists and engineers on how to adapt water related infrastructure. Each video applies peer-to-peer learning by having mayors, councilors and senior policy advisers as the main delivers of the message, supported by clips from three highly respect climate research scientists from University of British Columbia (UBC).
This video is for the Lower Mainland and it features Lois Jackson, Mayor of Delta and Chair of Metro Vancouver; Darrell Mussatto, Mayor of City of North Vancouver; David Cadman, Councilor of City of Vancouver; and Johnny Carline, CAO of Metro Vancouver. Drs. Stephen Sheppard, Stewart Cohen and Robin Sydneysmith from UBC provide the scientific background.
Although the videos were not intended for general audiences, feedback indicates that with proper introduction and context setting, they could be extremely useful in certain public settings and highly complimentary to university and college courses.
Great video Rick! Great to have the voice of mayors speaking to an audience of other municipal staff. Look forward to seeing the rest of this project as it develops.
