With a strong commitment to climate action, Vancouver has embraced green roofs, rain gardens, and urban forests to enhance stormwater management, reduce urban heat, and improve biodiversity. The city's Greenest City Action Plan and Rain City Strategy highlight the importance of nature-based solutions in adapting to climate change while creating a healthier, more livable urban environment.
