Calling on BC Assessment to pause 2026 Roll changes that shift tax burdens onto residents while cutting taxes for fossil fuel companies. Proposed transmission line devaluations could cost municipalities millions. Communities need transparency, consultation, and a one-year delay. #BCpoli

Many people don't realise how climate change is already - not in the future - affecting our lives. And it's doing so in ways that, once our eyes are opened, we can notice!

For example, food. h/t @climatecentral.org
A bar chart showing how climate-related extremes spiked the costs of cocoa, vegetables, coffee, and more. An infographic showing how heat, flood and drought affect all aspects of the food supply chain.

Judy O’Leary, our Grants & Research Manager, and long-time volunteer and friend, passed away last week. It is no exaggeration to say that Climate Caucus would not be the organization it is today without her tireless support, warmth and passion ❤️
