A Snapshot of the Path to Meeting 2030-2050 Emissions Targets in BC's Mining Sector

The Province of British Columbia, through their CleanBC program has set GHG emissions reduction targets of 40%, 60% and 80% for 2030, 2040, and 2050. They have also set a target for industry to reduce industrial emissions by 2.5 Mt.

The challenge for the mining sector is not only to meet those targets, but to do so while meeting the growing demand for minerals and safeguarding the environment

This introductory document is meant to provide a snapshot of the roadmaps and approaches in use in the mining sector in BC in relation to meeting the targets for 2030-2050, and is part of a series of roadmap landscapes CORE Cluster and Foresight are producing in the six sectors of CORE’s focus.
