Governments across Canada have a habit of making climate promises, setting goals, then failing to achieve them. But the science is clear – as is the message from our youth: We simply can’t afford to keep missing targets for reducing carbon pollution. We can’t afford it now, and future generations will not stand idly by as we pass an even bigger, more devastating buck on to them.
Though long-term planning is key to solving a problem of this magnitude, B.C.’s legislation does not yet require plans for achieving carbon pollution targets beyond 2030. This is important because the investments we’ll be making – on clean-tech facilities and clean-energy infrastructure – are big. We need business certainty for decision-making of this scale, and that means planning for decades out, all the way to 2050 .
We have long called for sectoral targets, and their establishment by 2021 is key. The next step is the deceptively simple-sounding task of clearly defining each sector.
