About This Tool
Climate change does not impact every region of British Columbia equally. The Plan2Adapt tool generates maps, plots, and data describing projected future climate conditions for regions throughout British Columbia. Plan2Adapt:
- 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.
Training Resources

*Note: these webinars were created using a previous version of Plan2Adapt so some details of features, emissions scenarios, and variables available have been updated since the version shown in the webinars.
Plan2Adapt 2024 Updates:
- Plan2Adapt uses the Shared Socioeconomic Pathway 5-8.5 (SSP 5-8.5) future climate scenario from the sixth phase of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP6). The results shown are computed from daily statistically downscaled scenarios developed using the N-dimensional Bias Correction (MBCn) method.
- Plan2Adapt's baseline period has been updated to 1981-2010, and baseline values for all variables are now provided.
- First Nations Language families have been added to the regional menu.
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.
