Stop flooding from climate change that threatens our WV Coastline
West Vancouver’s coastline is vulnerable to impacts from climate change, particularly from sea level rise causing coastal flooding and erosion. The District has a history of coastal and creek flooding, with recent floods in 2012, 2014, 2016, 2018, 2021, 2022 and 2024. Flooding of coastal areas is expected to become more frequent and severe as sea levels rise and rainfall becomes more intense.
