| Message: | Our Renewable City Strategy sets the stage for Vancouver to accelerate our success. We are building an economy that is more diverse and resilient, has inclusive employment opportunities, and which further establishes Vancouver as a global green capital. Embracing renewable energy is crucial to restoring our climate and environment, and generates remarkable economic opportunities. It’s also about improving quality of life, health and affordability—now and for future generations. I look forward to working with you all in the coming months and years to quicken the pace. We must focus our ambition, ingenuity and teamwork to transform Vancouver and all of the world’s cities and communities to 100% Renewable. For the good of our world and all who live here, Mayor of Vancouver, Gregor Robertson |
