Source: Delphi Group.4 Economic analysis found the Team’s recommendations would have little measurable impact on economic growth.5 Navius Research modelled the impact policies very similar to the Climate Leadership Team’s recommendations would have on jobs and B.C.’s economy.6 Meantime, 270,000 new jobs would be created across the province within the next 10 years, and close to a million by 2050. As Figure 2 illustrates, those jobs show up in emerging sectors, like clean technology—but also in more traditional sectors like forestry, agriculture and services. With stronger climate leadership, B.C. would attract up to $5 billion in additional investment for renewable energy development alone over the next 10 years, according to Clean Energy Canada analysis.7
