Moratorium on Fracking in BC Sign-on

Premier Horgan and Honourable Ministers,

As concerned health professionals and residents across Canada, we are asking you to take the necessary steps to end hydraulic fracturing within British Columbia due to its harms to human health and our climate.

Hydraulic fracturing in the Peace region of northeast BC generates the vast majority of natural gas within our province. During the extraction and transportation processes, fracking and its infrastructure pollute the air, land and water in the Peace region, use vast quantities of freshwater, overtake BC’s valuable farmland and harm the health of families, farmers and Indigenous peoples locally and downstream. Research and local reports from physicians link increased rates of cancer, lung disease and negative pregnancy outcomes to nearby fracking; doctors, professionals and their families are moving away from the region due to concerns about the health risks.

In addition to its health harms, natural gas industry contributes substantially to global heating through leakage of methane—which has 86 times the warming potential of CO2 over a 20-year period—across the supply chain. This is why scientists say controlling methane is one of the most effective options for reducing global heating today.

Canada has committed to achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050, while BC has committed to reducing its emissions by 40% by 2030, and promised to achieve net-zero by 2050. If BC continues to support and subsidize the LNG industry, it will be virtually impossible for us to meet our 2050 targets.

The 2021 Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Report has made it devastatingly clear: If we do not rapidly reduce our emissions now, every child born today will face a world over 4°C warmer within their lifetime, causing severe heat waves, droughts, floods, wildfires, spread of infectious diseases and mass migration. We see these effects in real time in the recent deadly heat dome that killed 570 British Columbians, and year after year of massively disruptive wildfires.

BC needs to take action now to protect the health of its residents. Investments in fracking and LNG have no place in a clean BC or a warming climate. 

We recommend:

  1. A moratorium on fracking expansion. Because natural gas extraction harms the health of people living near fracking wells and intensifies the climate crisis, the BC government should stop all new fracking development.
  2. A just transition for workers. Support should be provided to workers and Indigenous communities impacted by LNG production to transition to a clean-energy economy, including financial support for retraining, and a guarantee of good, zero emissions jobs.
  3. Investments in zero-emissions buildings. Natural gas hook-ups should be banned in all new buildings by 2023, with buildings in the north given until 2025 to comply. Investments should be made in retraining programs for workers to build affordable zero-emissions buildings, and retrofitting all existing buildings for zero emissions.
  4. Ending fossil fuel subsidies. The provincial government should end all fossil fuel subsidies as defined by the World Trade Organization, including direct spending, tax breaks, transfer of risk, and public finance.

The Canadian Association of Physicians for the Environment and the Canadian Association of Nurses for the Environment invite the Government of British Columbia to take a decisive stance on human health and climate pollution reduction by ensuring that the necessary steps are taken to end fracking within BC.

Premier Horgan and Honourable Ministers,

As concerned health professionals and residents across Canada, we are asking you to take the necessary steps to end hydraulic fracturing within British Columbia due to its harms to human health and our climate.

Hydraulic fracturing in the Peace region of northeast BC generates the vast majority of natural gas within our province. During the extraction and transportation processes, fracking and its infrastructure pollute the air, land and water in the Peace region, use vast quantities of freshwater, overtake BC’s valuable farmland and harm the health of families, farmers and Indigenous peoples locally and downstream. Research and local reports from physicians link increased rates of cancer, lung disease and negative pregnancy outcomes to nearby fracking; doctors, professionals and their families are moving away from the region due to concerns about the health risks.

In addition to its health harms, natural gas industry contributes substantially to global heating through leakage of methane—which has 86 times the warming potential of CO2 over a 20-year period—across the supply chain. This is why scientists say controlling methane is one of the most effective options for reducing global heating today.

Canada has committed to achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050, while BC has committed to reducing its emissions by 40% by 2030, and promised to achieve net-zero by 2050. If BC continues to support and subsidize the LNG industry, it will be virtually impossible for us to meet our 2050 targets.

The 2021 Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Report has made it devastatingly clear: If we do not rapidly reduce our emissions now, every child born today will face a world over 4°C warmer within their lifetime, causing severe heat waves, droughts, floods, wildfires, spread of infectious diseases and mass migration. We see these effects in real time in the recent deadly heat dome that killed 570 British Columbians, and year after year of massively disruptive wildfires.

BC needs to take action now to protect the health of its residents. Investments in fracking and LNG have no place in a clean BC or a warming climate. 

We recommend:

  1. A moratorium on fracking expansion. Because natural gas extraction harms the health of people living near fracking wells and intensifies the climate crisis, the BC government should stop all new fracking development.
  2. A just transition for workers. Support should be provided to workers and Indigenous communities impacted by LNG production to transition to a clean-energy economy, including financial support for retraining, and a guarantee of good, zero emissions jobs.
  3. Investments in zero-emissions buildings. Natural gas hook-ups should be banned in all new buildings by 2023, with buildings in the north given until 2025 to comply. Investments should be made in retraining programs for workers to build affordable zero-emissions buildings, and retrofitting all existing buildings for zero emissions.
  4. Ending fossil fuel subsidies. The provincial government should end all fossil fuel subsidies as defined by the World Trade Organization, including direct spending, tax breaks, transfer of risk, and public finance.

The Canadian Association of Physicians for the Environment and the Canadian Association of Nurses for the Environment invite the Government of British Columbia to take a decisive stance on human health and climate pollution reduction by ensuring that the necessary steps are taken to end fracking within BC.
