The Vancouver Sun published an op-ed by James Tansey, the executive director of UBC’s Centre for Social Innovation and Impact Investing at the Sauder School of Business.
Tansey, who served on the advisory panel for the province’s Climate Leadership Plan, said one problem with the 37 recommendations that informed the plan is that some will not have much impact.
“The plan to reduce emissions through improved forestry certainly makes sense in a jurisdiction with a vast land base and upstream regulation of natural gas emissions also makes sense. Both policies will have a significant impact on emissions. But otherwise there is little that is new or ambitious about the plan,” he wrote.
