What we are doing
Coastal flooding and rising sea levels know no boundaries, with the challenges faced by one community having ripple effects across an entire region. The Pacific North Shore and Sunshine Coast Regional Climate Collaborative brings together local governments, First Nations, regional organizations, and health authorities from across the Pacific North Shore and Sunshine Coast to think regionally—identifying shared resilience priorities, and advancing key climate adaptation initiatives.

What we are achieving
The Pacific North Shore and Sunshine Coast Regional Climate Collaborative brings together local authorities to co-define and prioritize resilience actions and develop shared strategies and coordinated action all while sharing knowledge and resources across jurisdictions.
The initiative, supported by Natural Resources Canada’s Climate-Resilient Coastal Communities Program, leverages cross-border collaboration to strengthen regional resilience and advance the implementation of climate strategies. By translating achievements and key learnings into tools, the Collaborative’s impact will be extended, with regions around the country able to follow its lead.
Our Objectives
Build local and regional climate resilience by facilitating collaboration among local governments, First Nations, regional organizations, and health authorities.
Develop a regional approach to resilience, implementing lessons learned from other regional climate collaboratives.
Address regional coastal climate risks, particularly sea level rise, drought, and extreme weather.
Implement priority adaptation actions, focusing on ecosystem restoration, infrastructure improvements, updated codes, and broad community engagement.
Promote biodiversity and public health by ensuring that adaptation actions enhance ecological and human well-being.
