Vancouver Climate Day is a full-day gathering of policymakers, climate advocates, researchers, and industry professionals dedicated to accelerating bold, place-based climate action across the region.

Co-hosted by SFU Climate Innovation in partnership with SFU's Morris J. Wosk Centre for Dialogue and the Pacific Institute for Climate Solutions, VCD2025 takes place Friday, September 26, 2025, and brings together diverse voices for a series of interactive workshops, knowledge exchanges, and strategic dialogues. The event is designed to foster cross-sector collaboration, elevate local leadership, and spark new partnerships to advance practical solutions.

Themes for 2025 include:

• Multi-Hazard Risk Assessment and Community Resilience – building readiness and capacity to address compounding climate and disaster risks
• Integrated Energy Systems for Communities – advancing local clean energy transitions through innovative, interconnected infrastructure
• Low Carbon, Resilient Neighbourhoods and Communities – designing and implementing community-scale strategies for sustainability and adaptation
• Indigenous Leadership and Climate Action – centering Indigenous knowledge, governance, and stewardship in climate solutions
• Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Climate – exploring the role of AI in energy systems, economic development and low carbon resilience

After the day's programming, we invite you to join us for drinks and a networking reception with fellow attendees. We encourage you to use this opportunity to build new networks and deepen existing relationships!

Whether you're working in public policy, academia, clean tech, Indigenous governance, or community development, Vancouver Climate Day 2025 is your space to connect, learn, and act.

Refreshments will be provided throughout the day. Lunch will also be served!
