Kendall Anderson is the director of the Pembina Institute’s Equitable Transition program, which focuses on the potential co-benefits of climate action, including gender equity, economic success, community connectedness and jobs. Her research and stakeholder engagement works towards ensuring the clean energy sectors of tomorrow are inclusive and equitable.
Prior to joining the institute, and after almost a decade working as a book editor with Random House publishers, Kendall moved into the non-profit sector where she worked for the Samara Centre for Democracy, a national charity focused on engaging more Canadians in the political system. As managing director and then executive director, she articulated and measured the organization’s impact, built alliances among like-minded NGOs, and forged new partnerships to extend collective reach and impact.
Kendall holds a Bachelor of Science from Guelph University, as well as a Graduate Certificate in the Science and Policy of Climate Change from Royal Roads University, where her capstone project focused on gender and Canada’s Just Transition process.
Kendall enjoys being outside with her husband, two teenagers and her dog, hiking, camping and cross-country skiing.
