A flourishing natural world
We will not accept a future where our province is engulfed in flames, our children breathe polluted air, and floods and droughts continually disrupt our lives.
It’s clear the climate is changing rapidly. These shifts already impact our economy, our ecosystems, and our health and well-being.
Fortunately, B.C. is well positioned to be a clean energy leader. With smart choices over the next four years, we can build a thriving clean energy economy, attract investment, and provide good jobs.
We can afford a safe and sustainable future for our children. We can afford a future where our iconic forests and wildlife are healthy and abundant; where our communities have energy-efficient buildings equipped with heat pumps and solar panels; where our watersheds are protected and secure.
We must dramatically and rapidly reduce greenhouse gas emissions to stabilize the climate. The BC Greens understand this task and have developed ambitious solutions that address the urgency of this moment.
By stopping the expansion of fossil fuel production in British Columbia, we will follow other jurisdictions towards a climate-safe future. We will redirect those funds towards developing a robust, internationally-acclaimed clean energy industry. Reaching these goals will not only reduce carbon emissions but respect the cultural and environmental values of local communities. By directing a portion of carbon pricing revenue to local governments, we will help communities prepare for, respond to, and recover from the impacts of climate change.
Safeguarding our climate and environment requires participation from all parts of the province.
By working collaboratively with local governments and First Nations, we can build resilience, mitigate risks, and create a strong clean energy economy that British Columbians can be proud of.
As we embark on this transition, inclusivity will be our guiding principle. We will support workers and communities, invite local input and foster shared decision-making. We will ensure that the benefits of resource management remain within our local communities.
With strong leadership, we can safeguard what makes British Columbia special—our clean air and water, our thriving forests, and our resilient communities—while ensuring that everyone has the opportunity to thrive.
We can afford climate action. Together, we can forge a cleaner, safer future for all.
Climate Change
Vision
A Fossil Fuel-Free Future for BC.
How we’re thinking about this
Across this province, British Columbians are deeply concerned about the impacts of climate change, and they have every reason to be. The science is clear—if we want to secure a climate-safe future, we must put an immediate stop to new fossil fuel development.
Vision
BC has a vibrant clean energy economy that reduces emissions, creates jobs, and drives sustainable economic growth.
How we’re thinking about this
Climate action isn’t about restrictions or compromise—it’s about saying yes to the benefits of electrifying our economy. British Columbia faces a choice: keep investing in outdated fossil fuels or embrace a clean energy future that drives job creation, climate action and economic growth.

Watershed Security
Vision
Thanks to strong co-governance, our communities, fish, and ecosystems across BC are ensured a resilient and sustainable water future.
How we’re thinking about this
Water will be the defining issue of the coming decades, shaping our future in ways we cannot afford to overlook. Water is more than just a resource—it is the foundation of our health, the backbone of our local economies, and a lifeline for our communities, forests, fish, and wildlife.
Vision
Every British Columbian can breathe clean, healthy air—both indoors and out—all year round.
How we’re thinking about this
The Province has a responsibility to protect public health by taking air pollution seriously and addressing the rising dangers posed by wildfire smoke.

Farming & Food Security
Vision
Address immediate food security needs while creating a vibrant, sustainable food system that values farmers and strengthens community resilience.
How we’re thinking about this
Ensuring all British Columbians have access to nourishing food is essential to the health and well-being of our communities, and it is a key priority for our party. We are committed to working with farmers and other stakeholders to transform our food and farming systems so that we are producing healthy, nutritious food at fair prices for consumers, while also ensuring fair wages for growers.
