Energy and the economy:
Making a successful transition to renewables

Progressive, farseeing, aware of global issues, Quebec began going green decades ago. Now faced with real economic and social concerns brought about by its goal of reducing its oil dependency, how will Quebec choose to manage the changes required to optimize sustainable use of its energy resources?

On February 27 and 28 2013, join in our reflection.

Program overview:

  • The energy transition in other countries
    Representatives from Norway and Brazil share how they developed their natural resources to create vibrant green economies.
  • A history of energy transitions in Quebec
    Quebec isn't facing its first energy transition. Our speaker will highlight previous passages, preparing the round table to follow.
  • Round table: The challenges and opportunities created by the transition to renewable energy
    How do the financial, municipal, public service and business sectors see the transition? What can they contribute? Open discussion with question period.
  • "Making the transition successful" workshops
    Targeted workshops that discuss goals, issues, strengths and weaknesses encountered in day-to-day operations.
