Local Government Climate Action Program outcomes

Last updated on April 1, 2026

This page shares results from the Local Government Climate Action Program (LGCAP).

Data visualization

This data visualization tool for LGCAP displays local government and Modern Treaty Nation climate initiatives as well as greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from traditional services.

Sharing public data on local climate action promotes transparency and collaboration among communities. It also empowers citizens and policymakers to make informed decisions. These decisions drive meaningful progress in addressing climate change.

Data for local governments and Modern Treaty Nations in B.C. is displayed, and can be filtered by:

Modern Treaty Nation
Municipality
Regional district
Economic development region
Community size

The data visualization includes a Read Me tab. The tab explains how to navigate the data visualization and defines the terms used.

If you have accessibility needs, please contact LGCAP@gov.bc.ca for help accessing the data visualization.

To see estimates for a jurisdiction's community-level GHG emissions and energy consumption, view the Community Energy and Emissions Inventory.
