Authored by Bob Sandford (EPCOR Chair in Water and Climate Security, United Nations University Institute for Water Environment and Health) and Laura Brandes (Communications Director, POLIS Water Sustainability Project), this op-ed describes the “tipping point” that was crossed in 2018 towards a new and turbulent climate regime in the Northern Hemisphere. The authors discuss what this “new normal” will look like and offer opportunities for action, including through British Columbia’s Water Sustainability Act.
