2012 & 2016 Interim Targets

Economic Modeling Report

The B.C. Government has reviewed and accepted the recommendations of the Climate Action Team (CAT) for interim greenhouse gas reduction (GHG) targets, establishing a GHG reduction target of six per cent below 2007 levels by 2012 and 18 per cent by 2016.

Interim Targets

MK Jaccard and Associates was retained by the Climate Action Secretariat to inform the selection of 2012 and 2016 interim targets for greenhouse gas emissions. MK Jaccard and Associates uses a detailed energy-economy model called CIMS to evaluate energy and climate change policies and to determine the cost of reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
