Accelerating Implementation of Renewable Energy for Indigenous Communities

Accelerating Implementation of Renewable Energy (AIRE) for Indigenous Communities is a three-year project designed to help rural and remote Indigenous communities reach emission reduction targets by increasing their capacity to plan and implement land-based renewable energy initiatives (solar, wind, biomass, and geo-thermal). This project supports rural, remote Indigenous communities on their pathway to net-zero.

Equitable Engagement

Equitable Engagement

The Equitable Engagement project works to incorporate Indigenous knowledge as well as equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) considerations into QUEST Canada’s capacity building-based initiatives. The aim of this project is to ensure current and future participating communities are equipped with the tools, resources, and knowledge required to engage all stakeholders on the pathway to a durable and just net-zero future.

Partnering for Indigenous Community Energy Capacity

Partnering for Indigenous Community Energy Capacity

Partnering for Indigenous Community Energy Capacity (PICEC) is an Indigenous, community-led initiative aimed at strengthening the understanding and knowledge of priorities, needs, and challenges surrounding community energy planning.

Innovation Sandboxes

Innovation Sandboxes

The goal of the Regulatory Innovation Sandboxes project is to create foundational policy frameworks for legislated regulation innovation. The foundational frameworks can then be used by provincial, territorial and federal policymakers and regulators to create more effective policies, regulations, and programs to accelerate the transition to a low-emissions future efficiently and fairly using a multi-sectoral, collaborative process.
