BC is ready for a World Class Climate Budget.  In February 2007 the provincial government committed itself to bold action on climate change in their annual throne speech. However, these bold targets will require equally bold fiscal measures to actually implement, as laid out in the 2008 BC Budget. They include: a revenue-neutral Carbon Tax, major investments in transportation, a robust energy retrofit and fee-rebate program, concerted public outreach, and the phasing out of all subsidies for fossil fuel extraction.
