Plan2Adapt

About This Tool

Climate change impacts do not affect every region of British Columbia in the same way. The Plan2Adapt tool generates maps, plots, and data describing projected future climate conditions for regions throughout British Columbia.

This Tool

  • Assists users in assessing climate change in their region based on a standard set of climate model projections.
  • Is similar to the PCIC Climate Explorer (PCEX) and uses the same data to generate its output.

Intended Users

With a simpler user interface and fewer configurable options, Plan2Adapt is designed to serve the needs of those involved in local and regional community planning.

Additional Information

After exploring the projected climate changes for your region, you may also want to visit Retooling for Climate Change, a website for examining climate change impacts in preparation for adaptation in BC.

Plan2Adapt 2020 Updates:

Plan2Adapt uses the Representative Concentration Pathway 8.5 (RCP 8.5) future climate scenario from the fifth phase of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP5). The results shown are computed from daily statistically downscaled scenarios that have been developed using the Bias Correction with Constructed Analogues and Quantile mapping, Version 2 (BCCAQv2) method.
