Through the CleanBC Roadmap to 2030, the Province is working to support technological innovation and make policy changes needed to reduce emissions and meet our climate goals. We’re also working with Indigenous and local governments and making investments that will help B.C. adapt to a changing climate through the Climate Preparedness and Adaptation Strategy.
On this page you can find ways to support the move to a cleaner B.C. by reducing your use of fossil fuels, preparing for climate change and sharing your ideas.

We can work together to move away from using fossil fuels and prepare for the effects of climate change that are already impacting B.C. Governments, industry, communities and individuals are all part of the solution.
Climate change and its impacts can cause anxiety and grief, as well as chronic mental health problems. If you or someone you know needs help, use the resources below:
Young people across British Columbia and the world are speaking up for further climate action. Share your knowledge, ideas and stories with the Government of B.C. through these opportunities:
Demand for low-carbon products and services is growing around the world, and B.C. is no exception. At the same time, we also need to prepare and adapt for the effects of our already-changing climate.
A climate-related career might involve designing buildings that can withstand climate impacts, maintaining electric vehicles, or bringing sustainable practices to a resource industry like forestry or farming. Explore the links below to find options that might fit you.
Take a deeper look at how and why climate change occurs, and its impacts.

Assess your biggest areas of resource consumption.
The impacts of climate change that we are seeing, such as heatwaves, droughts, wildfires and flooding, are not felt evenly across our society. People with higher incomes and more privileged backgrounds typically have more resources and a greater capacity to protect themselves from the impacts of climate change.
As the effects of climate change increase in B.C., so does the urgency of addressing this equity challenge.
CleanBC is the Province’s plan to reduce carbon pollution and take care of the environment, while creating more jobs and economic opportunities. It focuses on ways to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by looking at B.C.’s top three sources of GHGs: industry, transportation and buildings and communities.
The Roadmap to 2030 is our plan to scale up our climate actions and speed up the shift away from fossil fuels in order to meet our emissions reduction targets and set the course to fulfill our net-zero commitment by 2050.
Because elevated levels of greenhouse gases are already in the atmosphere, B.C. is already experiencing impacts of climate change, like hotter summers, increased wildfires and flooding. This will continue to for many years to come. B.C.’s Climate Preparedness and Adaptation Strategy ensures we stay safe and respond effectively to this changing climate.
