<p>Climate change is increasing the frequency and severity of extreme weather events. In British Columbia (BC), Canada, these climate impacts are converging with another issue: housing insecurity. However, there is very little discussion of how the issues of climate change and housing insecurity interact with and exacerbate one another. In this study, we conduct a content analysis of provincial climate and housing documents and semi-structured key informant interviews (<i>n</i> = 20) to analyze how provincial policies in BC address intersections between climate change and housing insecurity through the lens of material and emotional impacts, as well as the factors which limit or create opportunities for these policy areas to interact. We find very limited policy on emotional dimensions of loss, and strong tensions between housing insecurity and climate change which cause these policy areas to compete for priority rather than to integrate with one another. Without course correction, we argue that these tensions could lead to maladaptive outcomes, particularly among low-income and rental households, carrying implications for climate justice.</p>
