The BC Climate Resilience Summit (BCCRS) 2026 will be a two-day interactive event bringing together researchers/scientists, planners/policymakers, community leaders, industry professionals, First Nations partners, and innovators of all varieties to advance climate and disaster resilience in British Columbia. To be held March 2–3, 2026 at UBC Robson Square, the Summit builds on the Understanding Risk BC Symposiums and BCCRS 2025, continuing over nine years of collaborative work to strengthen shared understanding of natural hazard and disaster risks in service of advancing low-carbon resilience.

Across two days of panels, facilitated dialogues, workshops, demonstrations, and fireside conversations, attendees will explore how BC can accelerate practical, inclusive, and scalable climate resilience solutions.

Why This Summit Stands Out

​

• Highly Interactive: Designed for dialogue—not monologue—with real-time input tools and opportunities for facilitated Q&A, networking, and cross-sector problem-solving.

• Locally Grounded, Broadly Relevant: Focused on Southwest BC while offering insights applicable across the bioregion, across Canada, and globally.

• Cross-Sector by Design: Bridging research, policy, community, and industry perspectives to generate shared understandings, build trust, and spark innovation.
