Following their 2019 declaration of a climate emergency, in 2020 Vancouver City Council adopted the Climate Emergency Action Plan (CEAP), a roadmap to cut carbon pollution in half by 2030. Alongside efforts to cut carbon pollution the Climate Adaptation Strategy aims to prepare Vancouver for the climate impacts already being experienced today.
The CEAP is focused on cutting carbon pollution from buildings and transportation – the two biggest sources of carbon pollution generated in Vancouver (57% and 37% respectively). Vancouver is turning a keen eye on reducing emissions from its built environment, which means cutting carbon pollution in older buildings by switching from fossil fuels to cleaner heating, while requiring new building are constructed to achieve near-zero emission operations, to adapt to our changing climate (smoke and heat), and to incorporate low embodied carbon materials and practices. Vancouver is also taking to reduce carbon from transportation. This includes growing the EV charging network (including EV charger installations at gas stations and parking lots), improving bus speeds, building walking and cycling infrastructure, and eliminating minimum parking space rules in new developments. Vancouver is also proposing putting a price on traveling by car to Vancouver’s metro core.
