Uniting for Climate Resilience & Change - YCCBC Expressions - August 2023 Issue

August marked an unprecedented milestone as our planet experienced the warmest month in 10,000 years. This month has been marred by natural catastrophes, including devastating wildfires across British Columbia, displacing over 27,000 people and wreaking havoc in the North West Territories, California, and Hawaii. As we witness these alarming events, the call for united action grows louder. Together, we can forge a path towards climate resilience and inspire a brighter future.


In this month's newsletter, we delve into pivotal initiatives that amplify our commitment to fostering a sustainable world.


In 2023 Wildsight Youth Climate Corps and Youth Climate Corps BC will have served 81 youth across BC, totaling over 7,000 days working towards thriving low-carbon communities.


 
 
 

Solidarity Statement

We are committed to maintaining and growing respectful relationships in every region where we work.

 

YCCBC recognizes that colonization has deeply disrupted Indigenous Peoples’ relationships with their lands, communities, and cultural practices. We understand that the climate crisis is rooted in ongoing systems of colonialism and resource extraction—systems that became possible through the dispossession of Indigenous Peoples from their homelands.

​

We believe that Indigenous sovereignty is essential to building just futures and liveable worlds. YCCBC is committed to listening, learning, and walking in solidarity with Indigenous communities and to supporting Indigenous-led climate action across the province.

ABOUT US 

Youth Climate Corps BC develops the climate leaders of tomorrow by training a workforce of young people who know how to work together, communicate powerfully, and get things done on projects that contribute to climate resilience in communities across British Columbia.
