B.C. budget includes $221-million to help adapt to climate change with projects including floodplain mapping, wildfire prevention and extreme heat preparedness

for the national adaptation strategy. It is calling for Canada to determine its priorities based on risk. The country should identify the top national climate-change risks and include a plan for tracking progress and reporting on outcomes, according to the institute.

“B.C.’s plan doesn’t really measure up,” Ms. Miller said. “The actions are all worthwhile to do, but it doesn’t include measurable goals, and there are no outcomes to measure progress. It’s going to be really hard to assess how we are doing, and how ambitious B.C. is with this plan.” “We’re planning to have the floods strategy ready next year as well as the B.C. flood resilience plan, which will include consideration of new diking needs by 2025,” Mr. Heyman said.

Floodplain mapping after you bought your house, is just sticking the problem onto the individual homeowners. Flooding today is caused by overdevelopment and improper flood mitigation. We haven't even hit climate change issues yet.

Adaptation = not to build in a drained lake

Will this continue to include draining lakes to build highways and farms on the lake bottom?

Are they paying for it with launder drug money?

🤣🤣🤣 it will die with the BC government to be jailed for crime against humanity

Aka: a plan to shift blame and pretend allowing development in the interior floodplains wasn’t a massive risk to begin with.

I don't know why the BC gov is doing basic infrastructure upgrades that they should always be doing and then attributing it to man made climate change. Can't stop virtue signaling.
