Nothing Vancouver, British Colombia or Canada does unilaterally will make any meaningful change on sea level rises (if there will even be any noticeable rises in the next 100 years).
The only think Metro Vancouver could do is build dykes and other structures to keep water out (like the Dutch have) and/or raise land elevations in the most at-risk areas.
I think that funds would best be used to ensure less environmental damage from our actions, such as reducing particulates in the air, more recycling and better land use.
