Regional Climate Resiliency Plan (RCRP)

The Regional Climate Resiliency Plan (RCRP) is a long-term plan to address climate-related hazard events in the Peace River Regional District. Created with significant input from the public and member municipalities, it identifies local climate risks, enhances preparedness, fosters collaboration and promotes advocacy to all levels of government. This plan was officially endorsed by the Regional Board on July 17, 2025.

Reporting

To make sure the RCRP stays effective and relevant, we follow these steps:

Annual Reports: Every year, staff update the Regional Board and City Councils on our progress toward the nine policy goals. The first annual report will be published on this page in 2026.
Five-Year Reviews: Every five years, we do a deep dive into the plan. We work with internal departments and the public to see if any updates are needed to reflect the changing needs of our residents.

Our Action Goals

The RCRP is organized around six action goals that focus on how the PRRD can help our electoral areas be more resilient to climate change and reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. While we are committed to leading these efforts, we recognize that our resources and authority have limits.

To be successful, we will work within our official role while building strong partnerships with Indigenous communities, other levels of government, community groups, and the private sector. Ultimately, achieving these goals requires a shared commitment and long-term cooperation across our entire region.
