BC's Climate Leadership Plan -
A Review of the Details
Fazil Mihlar will provide an overview of the BC Government’s recently released Climate Leadership Plan. The Plan identifies key areas where the Province can take action now to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. “The initial 21 actions will collectively reduce net annual greenhouse gas emissions by up to 25 million tonnes below current forecasts by 2050. Further actions will be announced over the coming year after the federal government releases their Pan-Canadian Framework on Clean Growth and Climate Change.”
Fazil will also provide context to the BC Government’s decision to continue its freeze on the carbon tax at $30 per tonne. Ultimately, greenhouse gas reductions will only come about through mitigation measures as well as carbon pricing. The 21 actions identified in the Climate Leadership Plan will ensure BC remains the leader in fighting climate change.
