Climate Leadership Plan: Submission to the Province of BC
The Real Estate Foundation of BC has made a submission to the Provincial Government on the recently released Climate Leadership Plan Discussion Paper.
Our submission responds to the four goals identified in the Discussion Paper and includes ten recommendations, which address issues such as:
- Low-energy buildings and home energy labelling
- Transit, transit-oriented development and active transportation
- Industry training for renewable energy systems and green technology
- Carbon tax
Our submission draws on the recently comissioned reports which are now available to download:
