Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robertson
Vancouverites want to live in a city that is vibrant, affordable and sustainable. We cherish the extraordinary beauty of our natural surroundings, celebrate our diversity, and are working to build a smart and green future.
The convergence of technology and environmental issues is transforming the world’s economy. Vancouver is attracting leaders and thinkers who want to invest and work in a city that offers a promising and green future — a city that treasures our natural legacy and offers engagement for all.
We are tackling the issues of our time with imagination, enterprise, courage and confidence. We invite you to join us in making Vancouver the world’s new Green Capital.

Vancouver Green Capital: Where business grows naturally
Vancouver is becoming established as a global hub for green collar jobs and economic development. As a city, we are leading the new green industry with clean energy, mobility and green building projects. Our clean technology industry is growing exponentially, providing climate change solutions for the world, and green jobs for Vancouver.
Our reputation as one of the best places on earth to live, work and play is attracting leaders and thinkers who want to invest and work in a city that offers a promising and green future. The continued growth of Vancouver as a Green Capital also requires that social issues continue to be handled with the same level of compassion that has made us a leader in social sustainability and accessible services.
In Vancouver, green means business and the bottom line is our future.
