The government says, “British Columbia is launching a stronger, more ambitious climate plan to deliver on its commitment to reduce climate pollution and build a cleaner, stronger economy for people throughout B.C.
The CleanBC Roadmap to 2030 plan accelerates measures in B.C.’s continent-leading climate plan that has been proven effective and introduces new ideas to help B.C. achieve the Paris emissions reduction targets for 2030 and reach net-zero by 2050.”
NOT SO FAST THERE!
West Coast Environmental Law says, “BC’s Climate Adaptation Plan won’t protect you from heat waves, or much else.”
WCEL provides lots of detail about what is wrong with the plan, even outlining what ought to be in a good plan.
“We are profoundly disappointed by the Climate Preparedness and Adaptation Strategy, which fails to set out clear actions and deliverables that the Province will take to protect us from future heat waves and other climate impacts. With British Columbians suffering this summer due to [sic] the record-breaking heat––and bracing for more extreme temperatures and wildfires to come––the need for urgent, concrete adaptation plans has never been clearer.”
