About

BHC was part of a consultant team that prepared the City of Langley’s first Climate Element as part of its Comprehensive Plan update. Our team developed the goals and policies to address Langley’s climate concerns and priorities, identified policy gaps, and ensured compliance with the updated climate planning requirements under the Growth Management Act (House Bill 1181). As part of this effort, we co-facilitated public climate workshops, City Council meetings, and Joint Commission meetings which included commissions such as the Climate Crisis Action Commission and the Dismantling Systemic Racism Commission, among others. The aim of these workshops was to outline climate planning requirements, discuss the city’s climate priorities and concerns, and provide an overview of the City’s high-level greenhouse gas emissions profile and potential climate impacts. BHC prepared the final Climate Element to incorporate diverse feedback from residents, citywide commissions, city staff, and other relevant stakeholders, and established policies aimed at strengthening Langley’s resilience to climate impacts while reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
