A commentary by the climate program director at Ecojustice, Canada’s largest environmental law charity.
After a hotly contested race to pick a new leader, the NDP disqualified Anjali Appadurai, who posed a significant challenge to the front runner candidate David Eby, who will succeed John Horgan as premier.
But Eby faces an uphill battle to re-establish the NDP’s climate credibility, after Appadurai’s campaign drew unwelcome attention to myriad failures of leadership under his predecessor’s watch.B.C.’s climate law, officially the Climate Change Accountability Act, establishes sequential carbon pollution reduction targets for B.C. over the next 30 years as well as sector-specific targets, including for the highly polluting oil and gas sector.
The hearing wrapped up in B.C. Supreme Court in early October, but a judge could soon rule that the government has failed to be sufficiently transparent over its plans to cut carbon pollution. Eby must also commit to strengthening B.C.’s climate laws. In this respect, the government already has a head start with existing and workable climate legislation, unlike many other provinces in Canada.
