Comprehensive, integrated land and water use planning that develops sustainability strategies for all areas of the province. Included would be significant sectors such as:

• Forestry
• Food and Agriculture
• Transportation
• Energy
• Community Planning
• Fisheries, Aquaculture and Marine Environments
• Mining
• Waste Management

Effective climate change initiatives that:

• ensure all BC policies and practices meet or exceed national and international commitments to reduce greenhouse gases;
• commit public and encourage private investment in energy efficiency and conservation, and facilitate widespread development of low environmental impact, renewable sources of energy such as geothermal, solar, wind and tidal;
• apply carbon pricing to motivate the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions by ensuring that prices of fossil fuels reflect the environmental and social costs of their production and use, while building in “just transition” measures to minimize impacts on low-income households; and
• develop adaptation mechanisms to cope with increasing vulnerability, uncertainty and surprise inevitable in a future dominated by climate change.

Tax shifting measures that support employment and environmental sustainability by re-directing taxes and tax subsidies to:

• discourage waste and mismanagement of natural resources, pollution of soil, water and air, and production of greenhouse gases; and
• encourage resource conservation, ecosystem protection, sustainable employment, innovation, social equity and environmentally responsible personal lifestyles.

Legislated standards and best management practices that achieve improved management of forest resources, food lands, water, wetlands and biodiversity; increased energy efficiency; and reduced emissions for industry, buildings, motors, and vehicles.

Producer responsibility legislation that applies to all products throughout their life cycles, including packaging used when products are sold, and the retrieval and recycling of materials after use.

Community priority that ensures local, regional and First Nations governments have the expertise, resources and authority to design and implement community-based sustainability, ensuring clean air and water, influence over the exploitation and benefits of resource use, meaningful work, good housing, quality education and health care, and recreational opportunities.

Government-business cooperation that motivates business to invest in and benefit from Sustainable BC; this should include the encouragement of expanded ownership and other inclusive and democratic models of business enterprise.

Extension education programs that encourage all members and sectors of society (including Government, First Nations, Business, Labour, and Non-Profit Organizations) to recognize the opportunities of and contribute to Sustainable BC .

Trade policy that supports fair trade that is socially and environmentally sustainable. Trade agreements must protect the rights of governments and communities to act in the best interests of their citizens, without trade-related infringement on the rights of labour; social services such as Medicare; or security of water, food, energy, and resources.
