Organization
Lincoln Institute of Land Policy
Description
Compiling information about the work of conservation partners addressing climate change, this report goes into depth about topics such as the adoption of innovative technologies, integrating priorities of Indigenous peoples, and more. The report also discusses case studies addressing the effects of climate change and the specific mitigative goals that conservation partners have used when it comes to those effects.
Organization
WWF Adapt
Description
The WWF Adaptation Library website is a helpful resource for information and resources related to climate change adaptation. It provides access to a wide range of publications, case studies, and tools related to adaptation efforts around the world, aimed at helping individuals, communities, and organizations adapt to the impacts of climate change.
Organization
Ecology and Society
Description
This resource addresses the modern fire risk to socio-ecological systems and how Indigenous Knowledge can help manage these fire risks. Although an important part of controlling fire situations, Indigenous knowledge continues to be detached from dominant colonial management making it hard to implement Indigenous practices. The report summarizes a “collaborative experiment” that incorporated Indigenous fire management practices with western practices.
Organization

Description
Insights into how to motivate and involve the younger generation in climate change action. The article suggests three ways to engage young people: through education and awareness, providing a platform for their voices, and creating opportunities for youth-led action.
Organization
Thompson-Nicola Conservation Collaborative
Description
TNCC is working on a multi-year initiative, Conservation Planning for Climate Change (CPCC), which is interweaving Indigenous ecological and cultural knowledge and Western science to identify natural areas across the Thompson and Okanagan regions that need more conservation and protection. Watch this video to learn more about the CPCC.
Organization
Grassland Conservation Council
Description
During recent fire seasons the value of grazing was evident in changing fire behaviour by helping slow, turn, or stop fires from moving across the landscape. The British Columbia Cattlemen’s Association has partnered with the Province of BC to develop a pilot program with the intent to decrease wildfire risk in BC by reducing fine fuel loads through targeted grazing.

Thompson-Nicola Conservation Collaborative
Description
Wetlands play a key role in climate change mitigation and adaptation. They act as carbon sinks and increase climate resilience by protecting against natural disasters such as floods and drought. This webinar provides an overview of wetland ecosystems and carbon sequestration in the face of climate change with Thompson Rivers University’s Tom Pypker.
