- Enhancing the Resilience of Canadian Electricity Systems for a Net Zero Future By Anna Kanduth & Dylan Clark:
Join back-to-back panel discussions where we dive deeper into the topics of these papers.
Session 1: Enhancing the resilience of Canadian electricity systems for a net-zero future, 2:00-2:45 PM ET
As Canada transitions to net zero, we will rely more on electricity to power homes, businesses, and essential services. While Canadian electricity systems are generally reliable today, they risk coming under growing strain as electricity use increases and as climate impacts worsen over time. Join us for a discussion about enhancing the resilience of Canadian electricity systems.
Panellists:
•Roger Street, Research Associate, Environmental Change Institute at the University of Oxford
•Alain Bourque, Executive Director, Ouranos
•Caroline Lee, Senior Research Associate, Canadian Institute for Climate Choices
Session 2: Indigenous leadership in Canada’s clean electricity future, 2:50-3:35 PM ET
Indigenous Peoples are at the forefront of Canada's net-zero transition. Over the past several decades, Indigenous Peoples, communities, governments & organizations in every region of Canada have been leaders in the deployment of clean energy projects. Join us for a discussion about opportunities to catalyze Indigenous leadership in Canada’s clean electricity future.
Panellists:
• Chris Henderson, Executive Director, Indigenous Clean Energy
• Darrell Brown, President, Kisik Clean Energy
• Tanna Pirie-Wilson, CEO of Band Operations, Tobique First Nation
