Climate Action Revenue Incentive Program (CARIP) Report
CARIP was a conditional grant program that provides funding to Climate Action Charter (Charter) signatories equivalent to 100 percent of the carbon taxes they pay directly. In 2017, the Township of Esquimalt received a CARIP grant of $36,642. This funding supports local governments in their efforts to reduce GHG emissions and move forward on achieving their Charter goals. The CARIP Program was discontinued by the Provincial Government after 2019.
