Environmental Mitigation Policy for British Columbia
The Environmental Mitigation Policy is intended to support the environmental portion of informed, integrated, transparent decision-making in the Province’s natural resource sector. It is recognized that achieving the Province’s goals for economic prosperity and environmental sustainability requires consideration of environmental, social, and economic components to make durable decisions.
The purpose of this policy, and the associated supporting procedures document, is to provide a consistent approach and guidance for:
- provincial staff in the natural resource sector who provide advice and make recommendations to statutory or delegated decision-makers, development proponents, or other parties, and
- decision-makers to consider in the process of making well-informed and durable natural resource management decisions.
