The views of more than 5,000 sustainability thought leaders in Canada, the U.S. and Europe are outlined in The 2010 Global Thought Leader Survey on Sustainability.

Study shows Canada can meet global-warming reduction targets while growing jobs and economy.

This report outlines what Alberta’s new Land-use Framework legislation must do to establish a robust, credible and transparent land-use system that ensures the accountability of decision makers and has the capacity to manage cumulative environmental impacts.

This report is a response to the final version of the Alberta Land-use Framework. It recommends that the Government of Alberta take actions in six key areas to translate the LUF’s policy direction into meaningful change on the ground.

In this report, the Pembina Institute and the Canadian Parks and Wilderness Society recommend specific actions for the Government of Alberta to take in six key areas to translate the Land-Use Framework’s policy direction into meaningful change on the ground.

Renewable is Doable is a joint study by WWF-Canada and the Pembina Institute to identify electricity scenarios for Ontario that would meet future power demands without the use of nuclear power and coal, and that would generate lower greenhouse gas emissions than the plan currently proposed by the Ontario Power Authority. The study consists of two background reports.

This easy-to-read brochure summarizes the technical findings of the two reports: Analysis of Resource Potential and Scenario Assumptions and Analysis and Scenario Modelling of the Ontario Power System.

A collection of briefs, letters and submissions made by the Pembina Institute in relation to Ontario's electricity are indexed here.

The Pembina Institute's analysis of the 2007 Ontario Budget is focussed on two areas with major climate change implications: transportation infrastructure and urban development in the Greater Golden Horseshoe Region; and electricity and energy issues. Although the budget maintains previously announced investments in public transit, and adds some modest funding for residential energy efficiency audits, on the whole its contents in relation to the environment and climate change are disappointing. Several counterproductive investments figure prominently in the budget.

The Pembina Institute, Sierra Legal, and the Canadian Environmental Law Association made a submission to the Legislative Committee considering Bill C-30 - The Clean Air Act regarding the Bill's proposed amendments to the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999 (CEPA).

This study examines the environmental impacts of the use of nuclear energy for electricity generation in Canada through each of the four major stages of nuclear energy production: uranium mining and milling; uranium refining, conversion and fuel fabrication; nuclear power plant operation; and waste fuel management. It is intended to inform public debate over the future role of nuclear energy in Canada, and to facilitate comparisons of nuclear energy with other potential energy sources.

This report updates the Pembina Institute's 2001 publication A Comparison of Combustion Technologies for Electricity Generation, republished in 2004 as Appendix 4 in Power for the Future: Towards A Sustainable Electricity System in Ontario.
