The Latest Insights On Emerging Issues
Today’s energy landscape is a challenging one for Canadians to navigate, both as consumers and as citizens. The growing impacts of climate change are a constant reminder that our collective approach to energy supply and use needs to change, with widespread implications for Canada’s energy sector, at the same time as rising energy costs have added to financial stress in parts of the country. Where does the public stand on these issues, and how does that compare to the expert perspective on what is required? What are public expectations for governments and businesses?
