The BC government says it will only meet half of its 2030 target to lower greenhouse gas emissions. In an annual report released Tuesday, the province said it expects to drop BC’s carbon pollution to 20% below 2007 levels by 2030. That’s just half the 40% reduction in emissions the BC government committed to achieving in its Climate Change Accountability Act.  …Kathryn Harrison, a University of British Columbia political scientist researching climate policy, said the government report was surprisingly candid in its inability to meet its climate targets. …The largest polluting sector of the economy was transportation, which accounted for 42% of the province’s total emissions in 2022, the report found. The sector saw an 18% increase in emissions between 2007 and 2022, largely driven by commercial trucking. The next most polluting sector was the industrial sector — including oil and gas — which released 39% of BC’s total. The remaining 19% of emissions came from the buildings and communities sector.
