Despite growing commitments to climate planning, many local governments continue to encounter significant barriers that hinder meaningful progress. Join us for a dynamic and interactive webinar to explore the Low Carbon Resilience (LCR) approach—a proven strategic framework that seamlessly integrates climate considerations into core municipal processes. 

About the LCR approach

Developed by the Action on Climate Team at Simon Fraser University, the Low Carbon Resilience (LCR) approach has been successfully put into action across nine municipalities and one First Nation in British Columbia. This strategy enhances integrated planning through strategies like cross-departmental collaboration, joint procurement, and streamlined decision-making processes. 

In this webinar, you’ll:
  • Understand the core principles of the Low Carbon Resilience (LCR) approach and how it can streamline climate planning
  • Apply LCR to align climate initiatives with your municipality’s existing priorities and systems
  • Exchange ideas with peers and explore practical ways to embed LCR into your community’s planning processes

You’ll also take part in guided reflections and peer exchange activities to help assess your municipality’s current climate planning practices.

This session is ideal for municipal staff, elected officials, and community leaders involved in climate adaptation, corporate planning, and sustainability. Secure your spot today and discover how your municipality can use LCR to strengthen and accelerate climate planning.

Speakers:
  • Lauren Vincent (she/her), Associate Director, Action on Climate Team & Simon Frasier University Climate Innovation
  • Randy Sa’d (he/him), Executive Director, REFOCUS
  • Laura Sampliner (she/her), Manager, Climate Action for the City of New Westminster 

The webinar will be bilingual (English and French) with simultaneous interpretation (SI).
