UBC Okanagan Debates presents Climate Change: Opportunity or Crisis?

Okanagan communities are on the front lines of climate change. We’ve endured worsening fires, continuous drought and extreme heat waves. We appear to be confronting the stark reality of a planet that’s permanently broken the 1.5 °C threshold. The question is no longer if climate change exists but how we choose to respond to it:

Be it resolved, cities should treat climate change as an opportunity to harness, not a crisis to manage.

Join us on Wednesday, May 15 from 7 to 8:30 pm at the Kelowna Community Theatre for a spirited debate that will guide our community’s best path to a sustainable and resilient future.

The UBC Okanagan Debates series is designed to model civil discourse in a polarized world by bringing together renowned experts to discuss disputed and timely topics facing society.
