UBC Forestry and the Centre for Wildfire Coexistence are excited to announce the Wildfire Coexistence in BC: Solutions Symposium, in partnership with the Irving K. Barber Faculty of Science at UBC Okanagan! This Symposium will bring together British Columbia’s leading wildfire experts and practitioners to highlight the urgent need to develop a transformative vision and implementation strategy for wildfires before it is too late. We will shed light on the profound impacts of wildfires and tremendous costs to the BC population, emphasizing that the 2017‒2023 fire seasons were not an anomaly but a new and escalating reality fueled by climate change. Join us June 3-5, 2024 at UBC Okanagan in Kelowna and learn about the stark realities of the societal, health, cultural, environmental, and economic costs of wildfires across British Columbia and the actions needed now.
