SFU, UVic team receives $1M for climate solutions for rural, remote, Indigenous communities

Simon Fraser University and the University of Victoria have received $1M to support an interdisciplinary team focused on climate solutions for BC’s rural, remote, and Indigenous communities. Researchers will examine how climate change will impact communities; what communities will need to flourish; and how communities, people, and economies can be prepared for climate impacts. The researchers will work with the First Nations Housing and Infrastructure Council, BC Housing, and Technical Safety BC and will draw on community findings and case studies to inform solutions, strategies, and practical frameworks to build climate resilience and capacity.
