Strategic Plan 2026-2030

Pembina Institute's plan to advance Canada’s clean energy transformation

Kicked off by a global pandemic, the 2020s are described as an era of “polycrisis” — with people facing numerous, often interconnected global crises.

In Canada, we’re living through the everyday impacts of a changing climate — wildfires, floods, heat domes, droughts, and poor air quality. Meanwhile, leading economies around the world are moving at pace into what some call the Age of Electricity, or the electro-tech revolution.

We now face some of the most massive and complex challenges in human history. So, what are the solutions? And what is Canada’s role?

This five-year strategic plan will act as our compass as we continue to advance Canada’s clean energy transformation.

We're focused on five overarching 2030 goals. Our work spans eight issue areas, across energy supply and demand. And we play four key roles in Canada's energy landscape: think tank, educator, convener, and watchdog. 

If there’s ever been a time to bolster Canada’s national security through an energy project that makes us more prosperous, healthier and more resilient to an increasingly turbulent world — while reducing emissions and doing our part to address the climate crisis — this is it, and the project is clean energy.
