This report provides a summary of effective climate action enablers and highlights some of the best practices being implemented by various local governments in BC.
As local governments in BC have declared a climate emergency and directed staff to update/develop plans in response to climate change, local governments need to identify and implement actions to make progress in reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Learning from the experience of others and implementing actions that have proven to be effective in reducing emissions will expedite the implementation process and reduce costs.
This study identifies emerging best practices for “bold climate action” implementation and compiles insights from local governments based on surveys, interviews and a scan of relevant reporting.
