Abstract

British Columbia (BC) has some of the most aggressive greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction targets in the world. The 2007 Greenhouse Gas Reduction Targets Act (GGRTA) establishes a commitment to reduce provincial emissions 33% below 2007 levels. The Carbon Governance Project workshop: Innovation, Capital and Carbon, took place in Vancouver, BC on June 1st, 2011. The workshop brought together 48 leading industry experts, scholars and government representatives to focus on understanding factors that enable and constrain the transformation to a low carbon economy in British Columbia (BC). This document summarizes the results of the workshop, focusing on the low carbon landscape in BC, and describes the key strategies identified by the participants for advancing the low carbon economy. The summary is based on materials generated during the day and results from voting by the participants to identify priorities. CGP international workshop series
