WCEL Submission on the Consideration of Climate Change in BC Budget 2019

The government’s budget consultation recognizes that the government “will need to plan to address financial pressures from wildfires [and] climate change,” and West Coast’s submissions points out that doing so requires an understanding of what those financial pressures are and how they are changing over time.
