The B.C. Government has set a new target for itself in hopes of reducing greenhouse gas emissions in the province to 16% below 2007 levels by 2025.
The Province said its new near-term emission target will help keep B.C. on track to reducing carbon pollution.
“Across the province, people are working every day to tackle climate change and make our economy cleaner and stronger,” said George Heyman, Minister of Environment and Climate Change Strategy. “It’s clear we still have much more to do in order to meet our CleanBC targets – and I won’t be satisfied until we see a significant and steady decline in emissions. To make sure we stay on track to build a cleaner and stronger future, we’re putting in place a new near-term emission target that is both ambitious and achievable. This is another key step on the path to reaching our climate targets for 2030 and beyond.�
