Navigating Policy Challenges and Uncertainty: The Crucial Role Communities Play in Our Transition to Carbon Neutrality

Andrei (Andy) Nikiforuk
Senior Lead, Policy
QUEST Canada
A key element of achieving net-zero emissions by 2050 is increasing our reliance on electricity. At the same time, this brings uncertainty to the role of Alberta’s fossil fuels. Given different policies from all levels of government, and the absence of clarity, what is the best path for our communities to take to achieve net zero?
This session will discuss:
- Policy challenges in the energy transition to carbon neutrality
- In times of policy uncertainty, how can we progress on emissions reductions?
- The critical roles of energy end users and communities in this transition
- QUEST’s Energy Transition Policy Program – what we’re hearing, and next steps
