Climate Action Framework Survey

Introduction

The City of Vancouver is updating its Climate Action Framework, a City Council adopted policy document, that informs climate investment, policymaking, and city-level decision-making.

To understand resident priorities, concerns, and hopes, we are implementing a survey of Vancouver residents to gather communal input on climate goals. Your answers will help inform real budget tradeoffs, so we've kept the survey focused rather than long, with 10 questions and 8 optional demographic questions at the end.

Approximate time: ~8 minutes

Privacy statement: Your privacy matters to us. This survey is anonymous, and your name and home address will never be connected to your responses. The address used to select your household was drawn from a publicly available city parcel dataset and will not be stored or shared. Your answers will be reported only in aggregate with other Vancouver residents and used solely to inform the 2026 Climate Action Framework. Participation is entirely voluntary and you may skip any question or stop at any time.
