The service is guided by the development and implementation of air quality management and climate change plans that (a) recognize the strong connections among air quality, health and climate change, and (b) integrate actions, whenever possible, to reduce both air contaminants and greenhouse gases across the region. Reduction efforts involve both regulatory and non-regulatory initiatives.</p><p>To support Metro Van​couver’s commitment to protect the environment and conserve resources, the Environmental Regulation and Enforcement division negotiates and issues permits, orders and licenses, and then promotes compliance and enforces air quality bylaws.
