Description:

The Climate Foresight program aims to germinate transdisciplinary and cross-sectoral collaborations that explore complex and emergent climate challenges and generate transformative knowledge and solutions.

Climate Foresight supports bold, cross-sectoral initiatives that address complex and poorly understood climate issues. By funding early scoping workshops and ongoing networks, this program fosters innovative collaboration between researchers, Knowledge Holders, and those directly applying climate insights.

The Climate Foresight Program has a two-phase process of research support:

  1. Climate Foresight Dialogues will bring together teams of up to 18 scholars and practitioners situated across multiple academic disciplines and sectors in an issue-scoping and partnership development retreat in an inspiring B.C. setting. Proposals for Dialogues are solicited through an open call.
  2. Following the Dialogues, PICS will support project teams to co-develop collaborative research projects to generate transformative knowledge and solutions approaches. Promising initiatives will be considered for funding contributions of up to $300,000, as well as continued support from PICS to mobilize and communicate knowledge and outputs to relevant audiences.
