December 3, 2010 Webinar - Consultation on BC Emissions Trading and Offsets
Under the Greenhouse Gas Reduction (Cap and Trade) Act, which received Royal Assent on May 29, 2008, the British Columbia Ministry of Environment (the Ministry) is developing a proposal for emissions trading and offsets regulations. On October 22nd, 2010, the Ministry released two consultation papers that describe the proposed rules by which allowance budgets will be set and emissions may be traded under a BC cap-and-trade system, and the proposed standard for developing compliance-grade offsets issued by the government.
The purpose of this information session was to aid stakeholders who are preparing to provide written feedback prior to the December 6th deadline for submitting comments. The session provided an overview of the two papers, opportunity to clarify aspects of the content of the consultation papers, and provided an opportunity for dialogue on key design issues.
