As part of the event, Nobel Peace Prize nominee Sheila Watt-Cloutier and other speakers will discuss how the Okanagan’s agriculture, health and emergency response sectors can adapt to climate change in the years ahead.
Other event highlights will be the release of the Climate Projections Report for the Okanagan Region, which investigates how the Okanagan’s climate might change over the next 30-60 years.
In 2018 alone, data compiled by Accuweather showed that Kelowna’s average temperature rose by 0.8 C.
