Regional Climate Resiliency Plan
Residents, businesses and communities in the Peace River region are experiencing significant impacts from climate-related hazard events that are becoming more common and severe due to climate change.
Events like wildfires, flooding, heatwaves, drought and storms have caused major damage to property, infrastructure, crops and have forced people to evacuate from their homes.
The Peace River Regional District (PRRD) is responding by developing a Regional Climate Resiliency Plan (RCRP) to better understand the potential risks of natural disasters and extreme weather events.
The RCRP will help to identify ways to improve regional resiliency (i.e. our ability to respond, prevent or adapt) to future climate-related hazards, and outline steps and resources to bring mitigation measures into action.
The Regional Board endorsed the Regional Climate Resiliency Plan at the July 17, 2025 Regional Board Meeting. The final plan is available on the PRRD website.
