In the wake of the repeal of B.C.’s consumer carbon tax, and the announcement of a review of CleanBC, the future of climate action in the province is at a pivotal crossroads. Join Dan Woynillowicz, one of the CleanBC review co-chairs, as he joins leading experts and community voices for an urgent and inspiring conversation about what comes next. How does B.C. maintain its position as a climate leader while navigating an evolving and uncertain federal and geopolitical landscape? What tools, strategies, and innovations can drive meaningful emissions reductions without a carbon tax? How do we ensure that equity, economic resilience, and environmental stewardship remain at the heart of B.C.'s climate journey?

This panel will explore bold policy ideas, the evolving role of public institutions, and the power of local and Indigenous leadership in shaping a new era of climate action. Whether you're a public servant navigating policy shifts, an academic seeking fresh research insights, or a citizen passionate about sustainable futures, this event promises thought-provoking discussion, practical pathways, and a renewed sense of possibility for climate leadership in British Columbia.

Now is the time to imagine—and build—a stronger, greener future.

This event is brought to you by IPAC Victoria and Accelerating Community Energy Transformation (ACET) at the University of Victoria. A non-alcoholic reception will follow at the new ACET facilities on the University of Victoria campus.
