Support Kelowna's Climate Resilience
The City of Kelowna has released its draft Climate Resilience Kelowna Strategy (CRKS) and completed two phases of public engagement. The Kelowna Climate Coalition (KCC) has requested more ambitious actions to reach our climate goals. The Strategy will be presented to Council soon for adoption.
Climate change is a major threat to the residents of Kelowna and to the land we live on. We worry about what the future will hold for ourselves and for the generations growing up with such uncertainty from endless forest fires, repeated 100-year floods, and drought. Sometimes it’s hard to know what can be done, particularly these days, with more and more division instead of cohesion.
How do we meaningfully tackle a problem as big as climate change?
Often, we look outward, but we can't wait for provincial and federal actions. The leadership we seek is right here, within ourselves and our community. We can work with City Hall (City Hall), take action personally (Sustainable Living), and/or connect with others working toward the same goals (Find Your Community).
