Pitt Meadows is experiencing the impacts of climate change, from more frequent extreme heats events and poor air quality to increased flood risk and shifting seasonal weather patterns. These changes pose risks to public health, infrastructure, local ecosystems and the economy. Without proactive measures, the community could face rising costs, disruptions, and long-term environmental and social consequences.
