This Solutions Scholars project will explore whether ways of framing climate extreme impacts, such as through terms of frequency (eg once every 10 years), likelihood (eg 20 times more likely in a year), or temperature (eg making a heatwave 1.2 degrees warmer) have an impact on mobilizing action.

Our past Climate Conversations examined compound hazards, and called for interdisciplinary, collective, preventative approaches- looking at cases like BC’s 2021 heatwave and extreme fire season, which increased landslides that compounded upon intense flooding linked with record-high precipitation.
