Resources and supports available to BC locally elected officials to advance their communities through climate action
Just over a month after the October local government elections in BC, CEA worked with Climate Caucus and the BC Municipal Climate Leadership Council (BCMCLC) to present a webinar for all elected officials–new and returning–interested in advancing climate-related initiatives in their communities.

Currently, youth are faced with barriers and obstacles to participation in municipal decision making systems and often municipalities struggle to engage youth in meaningful ways as they seek to advance their climate action work.

CityHive exists to fill this gap; and was able to undertake a 6 month long research project to better understand the needs of municipalities to co-create climate actions with youth to inform program decisions to shape how youth and decision makers can work collaboratively to address climate change policies and issues on agendas of municipalities across the Metro Vancouver region.
