BC latest climate accountability report showed modest reductions of carbon pollution in 2023, the latest year data is available, but doesn't clarify how it will reduce the massive emissions expected as more LNG projects come on line. File photo submitted

British Columbia’s modest climate gains are at risk after a wave of policy clawbacks this past year. 

According to the province’s recent accountability report — which reflects BC’s climate data on a two-year lag — carbon pollution declined by four per cent in 2023, meaning emissions are now 9 per cent below the 2007 baseline.

That’s according to new research from the Centre for Future Work, which found that concerns about fossil fuel employment “have been weaponized by industry” to prevent or delay policies to reduce oil and gas production and use.
