Engineers and Geoscientists BC (EGBC) has developed a comprehensive climate change policy framework to guide professionals in integrating climate considerations into their practice. Central to this is the Organizational Climate Change Strategy, released in 2025, which builds on earlier position statements and the 2021 Climate Change Action Plan. The strategy outlines EGBC’s commitment to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and adapting to climate impacts, both within its operations and through its regulatory role.

EGBC expects registrants to proactively consider climate change in engineering and geoscience decisions, aligning with its broader goals of sustainability, reconciliation, and public interest under the Professional Governance Act. Resources like the Climate Change Information Portal and support from the Climate Change and Sustainability Advisory Group help professionals apply these principles in real-world projects.

Climate change is not a distant concern—it’s reshaping hydrotechnical design standards today. In British Columbia, we’re already seeing more intense rainfall, longer droughts, and rapid snowmelt events. Our team integrates climate projections into every phase of design, helping clients prepare for future conditions rather than react to them.

We also work closely with First Nations and local governments to ensure that hydrotechnical solutions respect cultural values, protect sensitive ecosystems, and support community resilience.

Whether it’s a culvert upgrade, a floodplain redevelopment, or a watershed-scale study, DMC’s hydrotechnical services are built to meet today’s challenges—and tomorrow’s uncertainties—with agility, pragmatism, and technical depth.
