Each year, Engineers and Geoscientists BC, in collaboration with our Climate Change and Sustainability Advisory Group, hosts a Sustainability Panel event that is focused on challenges and opportunities in integrating sustainability into professional practice. At this event, we bring together panelists who can focus on some of the initiatives being led across BC and share with us their approaches to creating a sustainable future through local action. The theme for this year is:
Embracing innovation, adaptive approaches, and continuous learning in a changing climate
During this event, a diverse group of panelists will share their insights into:
- Ways organizations can make space for thoughtful risk-taking supported by professional judgement;
- Managing liability issues when developing innovative and sustainable solutions;
- How equity, diversity, inclusion and reconciliation, can be included in addressing climate change;
- The importance of interdisciplinary collaboration in addressing climate challenges.
The panelists will focus on some of the initiatives they are currently involved in and share with us their approaches in creating a sustainable future through local action. Please join us on November 27, 2025 to gain a greater understanding on the various sustainability initiatives taking place in BC to foster innovation, adaptive approaches and continuous learning . The event will include content on Engineers and Geoscientists BC’s current climate change and sustainability initiatives.
