Consumption-based Solutions for Climate Action Guide
This new resource provides guidance on how BC communities can “Shrink, Share, & Regenerate” to act on their consumption-based emissions and ecological footprints, while also enhancing community well-being. These solutions are needed now more than ever, as we face accelerating geopolitical challenges and planetary crises.
The guide contains:
- A Framework for Action: A practical approach to shrink (reduce footprint impacts), share (advance equity), and regenerate (restore nature) across five key leverage points: community planning, buildings, transportation, food, and consumable goods.
- Key Priorities: Actionable ideas grounded in the typical ecological and carbon footprints of BC communities.
- Getting Started: Step-by-step guidance on implementing these strategies, along with sample metrics to help communities track their progress.

CBEI and EF Archetype Tool for BC Communities
This new tool provides estimates of consumption-based emission inventories (CBEI) and ecological footprints (EF) for most BC communities and regional districts from 2011-2023. It also includes a typical breakdown of a CBEI for Food, Buildings, Consumables and Waste, and Transportation.
