Livingwithwater

Living with Water (LWW) brings together a diverse, multidisciplinary team of researchers and solution seekers to support human and more-than-human communities living along British Columbia’s South Coast to prepare and adapt for sea level rise and the cascading effects of flooding. The team of researchers are from the University of British Columbia (UBC), Simon Fraser University (SFU), the University of Waterloo (UW), Wageningen University & Research (WUR), and West Coast Environmental Law (WCEL) in partnership with First Nations governments, and decision-makers from various levels of government in B.C. The project is funded by the Pacific Institute for Climate Solutions through its Theme Partnership Program. Theme projects involve interdisciplinary teams of researchers and climate solution seekers (from the private and public sectors) working together on thematic areas of high complexity and high impact – from project outset, to results-implementation. These projects generate new knowledge, build international leadership within British Columbia’s research community, and help drive further innovation in critical thematic areas.
