BC has belatedly released its 2024 Climate Accountability report. The top-level message is that BC expects only a 20% GHG reduction below 2007 levels by 2030, just halfway to its target of a 40% GHG reduction. A 🧵 for those who want to dig in a bit more. #bcpoli

Northern voices lead energy conversations - UVic News A first-of-its-kind effort involving rural and remote communities across northern BC will help shape clean energy development in the province.

Such a fantastic research initiative! It's so important for conversations about the future of energy in Canada to include small communities and First Nations from the outset, and I'm really proud to be part of an organization like ACET that champions these values

Emissions likely to rise if Conservatives win federal election GHG emissions are headed upward over the next decade if a Poilievre government fulfils Conservative promises to kill key climate policies.

Really interesting piece by my supervisor Katya Rhodes and Emma Starke - a helpful and quick primer to give readers an idea of the real-world impacts of the Conservative and Liberal parties' proposed climate policies ahead of the election this April.

Within B.C, this can involve writing 2-page policy summaries that fit the style used in the B.C government, or writing op-eds in newspapers which are read by policymakers - such as "The Conversation Canada"

This suggestion has emerged repeatedly in my interviews with policymakers, as a way to improve collaboration between gov and academia.

If environmental psychologists want to impact climate policy, they should translate their findings into a format that their local policymakers will understand.

I recently completed a literature review on the topic of climate disengagement in B.C, and possible solutions.

As part of that process, I wrote a plain-language "explainer", designed to synthesize the results of my research for senior decision makers in the B.C government 🧵👇

How to get B.C.'s climate groove back | Pacific Institute for Climate Solutions Despite increasing climate disasters, climate change ranks as a voting priority for only four per cent of British Columbians, behind housing, health care, and economic concerns.

Why isn’t climate change a priority for British Columbians anymore?

Our latest Explainer, co-authored by @samuel-lloyd.bsky.social, digs into the causes of climate disengagement in B.C. and outlines ways to bring climate back into focus.
