Prairies Net-Zero Communities Accelerator

Groupe de travail

Suivez QUEST sur

Launched in October, 2023, the Prairies Net-Zero Communities Accelerator (NCA) Program assists and enables communities in Western Canada to achieve their energy and emissions objectives.

The Working Group provides participating community employees a network of support to guide them in developing and implementing their Community Energy and Emissions Plans (CEEPs) / Climate Action Plans and initiatives, on their way to realizing the environmental, economic, and social benefits.

The Working Group also brings to the Prairies leaders from across Canada in the fields of energy, emissions, and resilience planning and implementation, to provide participants with the knowledge needed to develop evidence-based, integrated plans and drive project implementation.

Participants of the Working Group are leaders in moving toward achieving provincial GHG emissions reduction goals and transitioning toward Net-Zero Communities. Participation is exclusive to QUEST Canada Partners.

Communities account for 58 per cent of energy use and 54 per cent of all greenhouse gas emissions on the Prairies. In order for Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba, to meet their greenhouse gas and energy objectives, continued coordinated action at the municipal level is essential and will be directly advanced by the Prairies NCA Working Group.
