The governments of Canada and British Columbia have made a number of commitments to protect climate and biodiversity. These include legislation like the Species at Risk Act (SARA), international agreements such as the Paris Accord, and even specific commitments to end subsidies harmful to biodiversity. In contradiction with these stated prioties, Canada's Energy Future Predictions (2020) for British Columbia shows a projected increase in both oil and gas production over the next two decades. BC's oil production is predicted to increase 151% between 2020 and 2040; for methane gas, there is a projected 90% increase for the same period. These are the very decades that emissions must rapidly decrease in order to prevent surpassing 1.5 degrees of warming, according to Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). Unless concerted action is taken to enforce BC's commitments to caribou, this projected expansion will also result in more industrial activity in critical habitat, accelerating caribou decline.
