Do We Still Care About Climate Change? | Culture @ VPL | April 29, 2026

On April 29, 2026, VPL hosted a panel conversation on climate change, in partnership with ‪@democracyxchange (as part of DXC+ Vancouver) and the @UBCDemocracy Centre for the Study of Democratic Institutions (UBC). -- Description from event listing below -- Cost of living and jobs. Housing affordability. Trump. These are currently the top concerns for people living in Canada, according to recent polls. Climate change is an ever growing existential threat to our species, yet many polls show climate is not a top priority. Even our Prime Minister did not mention the word “climate” once in his famous Davos speech—and is now pitching Canada as an energy superpower. What does this mean for communities on the frontlines of climate change, who have been fighting against new energy projects? Or for communities who want the jobs and economic opportunities from these industries? And how can citizens and governments address these tensions? Come hear a conversation about where the climate conversation stands in Canada, from three people with different experiences in climate politics and policymaking: Eugene Kung, staff lawyer for West Coast Environmental Law. Andrea Reimer, former Vancouver City Councillor who spearheaded the Greenest City plan. Seth Klein, author of A Good War and founder of Climate Emergency Unit. Moderated by Chris Tenove, Assistant Director of UBC's Centre for the Study of Democratic Institutions. – This event is presented in partnership with UBC's Centre for the Study of Democratic Institutions and is part of DXC+ Vancouver by DemocracyXChange.

Canada is Burning: What you need to know

Across Canada, wildfires continue to burn. Rising global temperatures and decreased precipitation are contributing to extreme weather events that are becoming more frequent, more severe, and increasingly more difficult to manage. These conditions are also leading to more extreme droughts, creating drier forests that are more susceptible to wildfires. In the last few years alone, we have witnessed record-breaking forest fires that have hit communities across our country as well as regions around the globe. While we are developing a better understanding of the environmental consequences wildfires have on our health, our communities, and our economies, there is still much more for us to learn.

Beyond ESG: The essential relationship between environmental and social sustainability

About the event We are excited to present the second season of the Innovation Speaker Series in partnership with Canadian Environmental Network! Join us every month for a thought provoking presentation that will critique dominant ways of knowing, being, and doing, and allow us to create informed conversations that will lead to a more equitable and sustainable tomorrow. Beyond ESG: The essential relationship between environmental and social sustainability As the UN Sustainable Development Goals demonstrate, social and environmental sustainability are deeply interconnected. For example, Sustainable Cities and Communities (SDG 11) require both green infrastructure, such as energy-efficient buildings and clean public transit, and social equity initiatives, such as housing support and educational opportunities to ensure community accessibility. In this session, Maria Murphy and Vikram Iyer of Bloom Funding will unpack how the most effective sustainability strategies incorporate both environmental and social impact. They will present a brief overview of NuMetric, their innovative & comprehensive assessment tool that integrates both social and environmental impact for small- and medium-sized businesses. Developed in partnership with The Decency Foundation, this metric and accompanying programs help businesses measure, improve, and enhance product/service quality, operations, employee well-being, environmental responsibility, and community involvement. The metric addresses a gap in resources specifically for small and medium-sized businesses and fulfills limitations in existing ESG indicators, which do not fully account for non-financial aspects of sustainability, such as community partnerships and workplace quality. Our Presenters: Vikram Iyer is an environmental professional with a diverse background in biological and social sciences. Having obtained a Master's in Environmental Assessment and federal work experience, Vikram is engaged in reimagining the way…

The Effects of Climate Change on Security

Kicking away the green ladder: the asymmetric sovereign risk from nature degradation - Grantham Research Institute on climate change and the environment

This study analyzes the financial effects of nature degradation on sovereign bonds across 53 countries from 2000 to 2020. It finds that countries with biodiversity degradation face higher borrowing costs, averaging 40–75 basis points for shorter maturities. The impact is especially severe for lower-income nations in Africa and Asia, which are substantially more affected by nature vulnerabilities. The findings stress the need for integrating nature-related financial risks into macroeconomic frameworks and emphasize that these risks are not confined to just low-income countries due to global financial interconnectedness.
