Local Government Climate Action Program

The Local Government Climate Action Program (LGCAP) provides local governments and Modern Treaty Nations with funding, guidance and direct support to effectively implement climate actions across B.C.

This funding supports timely local climate action that reduces greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, prepares communities for the impacts of a changing climate and creates new opportunities for people in the clean economy.

About the program

LGCAP supports local climate action to help B.C.:

• Reach legislated climate targets
• Achieve provincial climate goals outlined in the CleanBC Roadmap to 2030 (PDF, 9MB) and Climate Preparedness and Adaptation Strategy (PDF, 7MB)

As part of the program, funding recipients will be required to report on their actions.

This program:

• Provides flexible funding that meets urban and rural needs
• Enables community-specific action to reduce GHG emissions and increase climate resilience
• Facilitates robust reporting to track results and help improve the program over time
• Mobilizes knowledge sharing among local governments and Modern Treaty Nations to promote innovative climate action across the province
