A Call To Action To Strengthen Our Industries And Achieve Our Climate Objectives
There’s a lot to be proud of in British Columbia in the area of green building and sustainability.
From the City of Vancouver’s Greenest City Action Plan, to the World’s Tallest Wood Building, to the Forestry Innovation Initiative advancing innovation in wood construction, solar installation and training projects in the Upper Nicola valley, and geothermal heating in Kamloops, the range and scope of green building innovation across the province is impressive.
But there’s a long way to go and a lot more to be done in this sector to fully realize its economic potential and its potential role in GHG reduction, waste reduction and sustainability.
