Context for More Clean Energy Canada’s Commitment to Climate Action Transition to low-carbon economy – less than 2 degrees C Create opportunities for the green economy $2 billion – low carbon economy fund – clean growth $3.4 billion – climate change, air pollution, restore EA process Other Provinces Quebec - reduce petroleum use by 40% by 2030 Increase renewable energy production by 25% Wind energy for export Small hydro for economic development for local and First Nation communities Create new agency for clean and renewable energy $4 billion investment in the strategy What is BC’s Commitment? 32 recommendations from Government’s Climate Team BC Opportunity to Electrify Use our natural endowment of renewable fuels Economic development for local communities and First Nations For export
