Low Carbon Resilience Discussion

March 22, 2021 - The District of Sooke Committee of the Whole voted to recommend that Council formally adopt Low Carbon Resilience, as defined by the Integrated Climate Action for BC Communities Initiative, as the District of Sooke's definition of green lens/climate first. Low Carbon Resilience is a type of green lens that balances the co-benefits of environmental, economic and social determinants and aligns with Sustainable Development Goals. The District of Sooke Council Strategic Plan references a "green lens\climate first" approach to planning. The green lens\climate first reference is without a definition. The recommendation that Low Carbon Resilience be the definition helps to ensure Council and staff have a shared understanding to support subsequent planning.
