On September 15, 2022, the Pembina Institute convened a thought leaders forum attended by 25 individuals (plus Pembina staff) representing industry, education, financial services, labour and government with an interest in gender, equity and energy planning. We gathered knowledge on the current context of gender equity in Alberta’s energy sector and received valuable feedback on the recommendations identified in Pembina Institute’s Equitable Net-Zero report. The insights and discussion offered key learnings and takeaways for Pembina and other government, industry and civil society groups working in energy policy and planning. The event served as a critical step in building a coalition of people across industry, education and government working to advance gender equity in Alberta’s energy transition.

Phasing out energy generated by coal is central to achieving Canada’s target of net-zero electricity sector emissions by 2035 and a net-zero economy by 2050. But as Canada transitions to clean energy to deliver on these commitments, coal workers and local communities will be highly vulnerable to potential job losses and economic hardship. However, our report shows that clean energy jobs will rise signficantly offsetting those losses with the right policies and support systems in place.
