Our Climate Action Plan details strategies to reduce our carbon emissions and overall environmental impact through a multifaceted approach with goals set for reductions at various stages over 40 years. A working document, updates are provided every 5 years.

In June 2010, the BC Environmental Advisory Committee completed BC’s Climate Action Plan – detailing strategies to reduce our carbon emissions and overall environmental impact through a multifaceted approach with goals set for reductions at various stages over the next 40 years.  Our plan is a “working model” and will be re-evaluated and adjusted regularly (with major analysis and revisions occurring on a 5 yr cycle).  We fully expect the plan to evolve as we learn what works and introduce new ideas and technologies.  The plan is divided into seven major areas:

  • Energy & Built Environment
  • Transportation
  • Zero Waste
  • Culture & Learning
  • Natural Systems
  • Social Equity
  • Resilience
