The following report was produced in the lead up to the Jobs, Justice, Climate Conference in 2010
Jobs, Justice, Climate: Building a Green Economy for BC
GreenJobs BC Policy Documents
These documents resulted from a series of stakeholder forums, and a two-day conference, hosted by GreenJobs BC. The policy recommendations are a result of the discussions and on-line participation of more than 200 people from environmental organizations, labour unions, business, academia, and First Nations. These documents do not reflect official policy of GreenJobs BC member organizations, but rather indicate a way forward.
