Climate Action Revenue Incentive Program
In light of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the only reporting requirement for the 2020 reporting year will be to complete the 2020 Carbon Tax Calculation Form.
The Climate Action Revenue Incentive Program (CARIP) is a conditional grant program that typically provides funding to local governments that have signed the B.C. Climate Action Charter equal to 100 percent of the carbon taxes they pay directly to support local government operations. The program encourages investment in climate action.
Eligibility Requirements
To be eligible for the grant, local governments must have signed the B.C. Climate Action Charter and by doing so, committed to take action and develop strategies to achieve the following three goals:
- Work toward becoming carbon neutral in their local government corporate operations
- Measure and report on their community GHG emissions profile (reporting requirements waived for 2020 reporting year)
- Create complete, compact, energy-efficient communities
