Research & Innovation
To tackle complex, evolving environmental challenges, you need the right insights. Research and innovation deliver exactly that.
We’re committed to integrating innovative approaches to sustainability, climate action, and conservation. We stay ahead by researching new conservation methods and reviewing relevant NGO and government projects that could benefit Whistler. By collaborating with community partners, we address emerging issues and strengthen our advocacy efforts with decision-makers.
We also focus on improving AWARE’s access to crucial data on sustainability and climate resilience—like Whistler’s Climate Action Big Moves Strategy targets, waste diversion metrics, habitat and species protection, and old-growth logging—to ensure we make informed decisions.
