Call on the B.C. government to confront the climate emergency

It’s way past time for the B.C. government to start treating the climate crisis like a true emergency. This summer was a glaring example of the impacts that are already affecting our communities: deadly heat waves, wildfires, drought, floods, crop failure, fisheries collapse, and costly evacuations and infrastructure damage. These climate-related impacts are unprecedented and intensifying, and Indigenous peoples stand to be disproportionately impacted despite having taken care of the land since time immemorial.

But the provincial government’s CleanBC climate action plan is insufficient to limit warming to 1.5°C, and will not keep British Columbians safe from the worst impacts of climate change.

To implement the rapid systemic change that is required, we call on the provincial government to demonstrate the leadership necessary to confront the climate emergency, and immediately undertake the following 10 actions:

Set binding climate pollution targets based on science and justice 
Invest in a thriving, regenerative, zero emissions economy 
Rapidly wind down all fossil fuel production and use 
End fossil fuel subsidies and make polluters pay 
Leave no one behind  
Protect and restore nature 
Invest in local, organic, regenerative agriculture and food systems 
Accelerate the transition to zero emission transportation 
Accelerate the transition to zero emission buildings 
Track and report progress on these actions every year
