Critical minerals are powering the clean economy, from batteries to clean energy solutions that enable Canada’s low-carbon transition and help the world do the same. With #Budget2025 investments and new project designations, Canada is positioning itself as a trusted supplier of responsibly produced minerals and value-added products. But minerals alone aren’t enough. Skilled, supported workers are the backbone of a full supply chain. Canada’s clean growth depends on both. The path forward requires addressing key workforce challenges. Our report identifies these challenges and highlights strategies that are already working. https://lnkd.in/gnFxyrCW

The #CleanEnergy transition is happening, but without bold action, Canada risks falling behind. Your support powers our research, advocacy, and policy solutions to cut emissions, create jobs and build a resilient economy. Join us in shaping a low-carbon future 👉https://lnkd.in/eNf-bdp

“Building Canada Strong” starts with building strong communities — including the 210+ remote communities across nearly every province and territory. In the past decade, these communities have made big strides: modernized energy infrastructure, wind power, energy efficiency, and jobs. But progress needs momentum. Let’s keep backing the local leaders driving real change. Learn more about the people and policies that are powering clean energy in remote communities across Canada. ⬇️ https://lnkd.in/g4KcCZ6v

If a new pipeline were built and filled, it would take eight Pathways-scale projects to offset the emissions from oilsands. This is why the so-called “grand bargain” between Alberta and Ottawa doesn’t add up. There are no “decarbonized barrels” on the horizon. Real decarbonization requires durable policies – like stronger industrial carbon pricing – to unlock private investment in things like carbon capture. Learn how smart policy can cut emissions and futureproof the oilsands. ⬇️ https://lnkd.in/gHc-Zh33

One in every four cars sold worldwide this year is electric – and global #ElectricVehicle sales continue to grow 25% annually. 🚗📈 A strong policy is the best tool to support automakers in the transition to electric and keep EVs affordable and accessible for Canadians. With the EV Standard under review, the choice we make now will determine whether Canada’s auto industry captures this global opportunity or continues to fall behind.

How can demand-side management (DSM) unlock billions in triple bottom line benefits for Albertans? DSM gives people more control over their energy use and helps utilities avoid expensive infrastructure upgrades. It’s also a proven tool to reduce energy costs, improve grid reliability, and create high-quality local jobs — but Alberta is missing out. Without supportive policy and regulation, Alberta can’t access the many benefits DSM provides to households, building owners, utilities and the broader economy. When paired with building retrofits, DSM can unlock affordable, reliable energy for Albertans and support long-term market growth. Download our new report 👇 https://lnkd.in/g2be7MN8
