BCCIC considers intergenerational perspectives key to discussions and decision-making about our work towards a green, just, equitable and inclusive future. For this reason, BCCIC has an intergenerational Board of Directors, hosts intergenerational and youth-focused delegations to conferences and high level meetings and works with youth on participatory or youth-driven research projects. BCCIC also runs many programs specifically built to further engage youth in the SDGs and other local-global issues, the most prominent of which are the youth SDG Bootcamp and the youth-driven Climate Change branch of BCCIC.
Our chapters are also integral to keeping youth involvement in the SDGs alive across the province. BCCIC’s regional chapters organize a whole host of events, such as the Sustainable Development Challenge (Kelowna) or training on ‘Just Transitions’ (Terrace). BCCIC also partners with universities across the province on community-based learning programs and projects or to co-host events.
