The B.C. government's new Climate Leadership Team doesn't include executives from Enbridge and Kinder Morgan, which are companies that want to build new pipelines from the tar sands to the B.C. coast.

But one of the team's members is a representative of the liquefied natural gas industry, which is also working on pipeline projects around the province.

David Keane, president of the B.C. LNG Alliance, previously held senior roles with BG Canada, Dynegy, Apache Corp., and Conoco, all energy companies with major interests in fossil fuels.

According to a provincial news release, the Climate Leadership Team is expected to, among other things, recommend in October "updates to the current Climate Action Plan as well as new programs and policies required to meet B.C.'s greenhouse gas reduction targets while maintaining strong economic growth and successfully implementing the BC Jobs Plan, including the liquefied natural gas strategy".

In March 2016, a final Climate Leadership Plan is slated to be released by the government.

"We're taking the next step in climate leadership by engaging with British Columbians on new climate actions to support a growing economy," Premier Christy Clark stated in the release. "The Climate Leadership Team brings together leaders from the business, academic and environmental communities, as well as First Nations and local governments, to consider the best actions to keep us on track toward meeting our greenhouse gas reduction targets. Thank you to the team members for accepting the challenge of helping B.C. develop our new Climate Leadership Plan."
