Columbia Basin Climate Source website updated to inform and educate
New environmental and climate data plus new digital tools are available on the Columbia Basin Climate Source website, www.basinclimatesource.ca. The website is a resource for Basin and Boundary communities to access reliable information on the region’s climate, possible future impacts to the environment and communities, and how people and organizations can proactively respond.
“Basin residents and communities have told us that having access to local and credible information around how the local environment and climate are changing is important to support decision-making and responding in an effective way,” said Brianna Burley, Manager, Environment with Columbia Basin Trust. “Climate resilience is an integrated priority in the Trust’s work, and we look forward to seeing the impact this information from the Columbia Basin Climate Source will have in our region over time.”
