Description:
The Columbia Wetlands occur in the Rocky Mountain Trench along the upper reaches of the Columbia River between Columbia Lake and the Kinbasket Reservoir in British Columbia. The Columbia Wetlands are a hot spot for biodiversity and climate resilience, and efforts are being made by the Columbia Wetlands Stewardship Partners and others to identify potential climate impacts and on-the-ground actions. The purpose of this report is to summarize the potential impacts of climate change on surface water inputs to the wetlands, and ecosystems surrounding the wetlands.
