Draft:Clean Energy Canada

Clean Energy Canada is a non profit non-partisan think tank based out of Simon Fraser University that conducts and publishes research on climate and clean energy policy. The organization is formally a program of the university's Morris J. Wosk Centre for Dialogue but is independently funded.

A study of Canadian civil society organizations adressing climate change identifies Clean Energy Canada as a "large, well-established Canadian environmental non-governmental organization (ENGO)" and the second-most active pro-climate actor in Canada in terms of engagement.

Focus & Activities
Clean Energy Canada researches and communicates solutions to Canada's energy transition, with an "explicit mandate to build consensus around clean growth by bringing business leaders, NGOs, political elites, academics and other segments of civil society into dialogue and collaboration." It has been described by media and academics as a climate ENGO and as a progressive think tank.

Policy Influence
At the federal level, Clean Energy Canada has called for industrial policy to unlock trade and employment opportunities in renewable energy, clean tech, and energy conservation. Its work, which includes periodic jobs modelling and other types of economic modelling,  has informed the country's 2020 and 2022 (current) climate plans, in addition to supplementary plans and strategies.
