Launch: Low-Carbon Energy Innovation Community Frameworks

Join us Tuesday, January 27 @11:00am for the launch of the Low-Carbon Energy Innovation Community Frameworks, a new set of practical tools designed to support rural and remote communities and Indigenous communities in navigating and benefiting from the low-carbon energy transition.

This joint project by Pollution Probe and QUEST Canada aims to address long-standing gaps in how low-carbon energy projects are developed and implemented beyond urban contexts.

The webinar will introduce two frameworks: one tailored to rural and remote communities, and one designed specifically for Indigenous communities. Both frameworks use a flexible, “choose your own adventure” approach that recognizes the unique conditions, priorities, governance structures, and capacities of each community and project. They are intended for a wide range of users, including Indigenous governments and organizations, municipalities, utilities, industry partners, community energy champions, and government agencies.

Participants will also explore real-world case studies demonstrating how each framework can be applied in practice to support innovative low-carbon energy projects. The session will highlight how communities across Ontario can use these frameworks to strengthen engagement, build social acceptance, and ensure communities are active participants and beneficiaries in the energy transition.
