Adaptation to climate change platforms

Here's what the 2026 BC Provincial Election parties are promising.

BC NDP

  • Provide $4M/year to scale up workforce development and training opportunities via the Youth Climate Corps

    "Expanding the Youth Climate Corps: We will expand our investment in the Youth Climate Corps of BC, providing $4 million annually to scale up workforce development and training opportunities for young people across BC. From providing FireSmart home assessments to ecological restoration and invasive species removal, the Youth Climate Corps of BC connects youth aged 17-30 with important job opportunities offering a livable wage to help build up climate resiliency." — bcndp.ca, retrieved 2026-10-13

  • Provide $50M/year to support households to switch to heat pumps

    "Installing more heat pumps in homes: More British Columbians are now installing heat pumps to cool and heat their homes instead of gas-fired furnaces, a move that reduces emissions and utility bills. A BC NDP government will build on that momentum with a new $50 million per year to support even more households to make the switch. The BC Conservatives will slash these investments resulting in higher emissions and utility bills." — bcndp.ca, retrieved 2026-10-13

We don't have any BC Conservative policies on Adaptation to climate change.

BC Green

  • Provide stable, long-term funding for First Nations and local governments to assess local climate risks and prepare for wildfire, flooding, drought, extreme heat, and other hazards

    "Support First Nations to lead their own climate priorities through stable, long-term funding for community-led clean energy, adaptation, stewardship and economic development that builds lasting opportunities beyond fossil fuels." — Believe in Better, retrieved 2026-10-13
