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? These questions will be explored in the upcoming edition of our Environmental Barometer.


A Decision-Maker Must-Have

- Where does the public stand now (their awareness, understanding, beliefs and assumptions) and who is our target audience?
- What are the barriers to change (concerns, risks, threats)?
- What are their expectations, what do they want to happen and who do they feel is responsible for bringing this about?
- How do we communicate with them, persuade and motivate?
