With the need for clean, carbon-free energy on one side, and the destruction of wildlife habitat and our fragile climate on the other, Canadians are faced with a conundrum. Energy needs are growing faster than plants are getting built, but bringing these to fruition in a carbon-constrained world will not be an easy task.
While there are lots of conferences on cleantech and climate change these days, very few actually offer an invitation to view a vigorous debate between panelists. At the Green Economy conference next month in British Columbia, attendees will be able to do just that.
This one day dialogue in Vancouver will bring together members of the public with opinion leaders, decision makers, leading academics, and journalists for a frank and engaging dialogue on building a low carbon green economy in British Columbia. The forum will address growing controversy over independent power producers, run of river projects and carbon pricing in the province. To achieve this, there will be a cross sector dialogue to create a solutions space for innovative approaches to moving forward.
Speakers include the mayor of Vancouver, members of the Haida Nation, the executive director of PowerUp Canada, the author of Hot Air, and others. Case studies will be presented by the Haida Nation, NaiKun Wind, Klahoose First Nation, and Plutonic Power.
