British Columbia’s environment minister released a progress report and 2010 greenhouse gas inventory report June 27, indicating that the Canadian province is on track to meet its greenhouse gas emission reduction targets. According to Making Progress on BC’s Climate Action Plan, the province had 4.5 percent less greenhouse gas emissions in 2010 than in 2007, a 2.9 MMT reduction. The Greenhouse Gas Reductions Target Act of 2008 required the country to reduce its emissions 33 percent from 2007 levels by 2020 and 80 percent by 2050. Interim reduction targets for 2012 – 6 percent – and 2016 – 18 percent were set by ministerial order.
