Recommendation

[At the January 17, 2024 Environmental Services Committee meeting, the recommendation was amended to add specific wording around climate mitigation and 2038 GHG targets and adding part 3 (modelling expanded mass transit) as follows:]

The Environmental Services Committee recommends to the Capital Regional District Board:

That the Climate Action service initiate a 2024 budget amendment for $190,000 utilizing existing service budget reserves to accelerate climate mitigation action in order to get on track to achieve our 2038 GHG targets, including to accommodate:

1.                     a one-year auxiliary term position to develop a community mobilization program and undertake regional education activities; and

2.                     additional policy analysis, regulatory reviews, and greenhouse gas (GHG) modelling related to innovative policy approaches identified through the GHG policy mapping initiative.

3.                     to report back on modelling expanded mass transit in the CRD and its potential climate impacts.
