Climate Action Revenue Incentive Program
The Climate Action Revenue Incentive Program (CARIP) is a conditional grant program that provides funding to BC Climate Action Charter signatories. This funding supports local governments in their efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and move forward on achieving their Charter goals.
**Please note that due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the only reporting requirement for the 2020 reporting year was completion of the 2020 Carbon Tax Calculation Form and submission to the Province. CARIP was discontinued in the 2021/2022 fiscal year and replaced with the Local Government Climate Action Program Survey Submission Report.
