Awash with Opportunity: Sustainability in BC’s New Water Law
with Oliver Brandeis and Rosie Simms
POLIS Water Sustainability Project
hosted by the POLIS Water Sustainability Project
In May 2014, the Province of British Columbia enacted the Water Sustainability Act, which provides an unprecedented opportunity to fully modernize the province’s water laws. In this webinar, speakers Oliver M. Brandes (Co-Director, POLIS Project on Ecological Governance and Lead, POLIS Water Sustainability Project) and Rosie Simms (Water Law & Policy Researcher, POLIS Water Sustainability Project) will share insights from the recent POLIS research report “Awash with Opportunity: Ensuring the Sustainability of BC’s New Water Law.” The research provides an analysis of the Water Sustainability Act and the core regulations required to bring the Act’s sustainable aspects into full effect. The speakers will highlight recommendations for effective regulation development in five core areas, based on best practices from around the world.
