International Carbon Action Partnership
On October 29, 2007, leaders of more than 15 governments met in Lisbon, Portugal to launch the establishment of the International Carbon Action Partnership (ICAP). ICAP is made up of countries and regions that have implemented or are actively pursuing the implementation of carbon markets through mandatory cap and trade systems. Today, the partnership has grown to more than 30 members. The partnership provides a forum to share experiences and knowledge. As a result, ICAP aims to make possible the future linking of trading programs.
The Province of B.C. sits on the steering committee of this international organization.
Developing key intergovernmental partnerships has been a successful and critical element of the province’s ongoing strategy to coordinate with other provinces, states, nations and continents in the global effort to solve the urgent problem of climate change.
