Our 2019 Climate Action Revenue Incentive Program (CARIP) report is ready. CARIP is a conditional provincial grant program that encourages investment in climate action. It typically provides funding to local governments that have signed the B.C. Climate Action Charter.
Regional District signed onto the B.C. Climate Action Charter several years ago 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 2019 reporting year)
• Create complete, compact, energy-efficient rural and urban communities
See BC CARIP for more information on the program.
