When we think about transforming our energy systems, we need to make sure that transformation happens in a way that is not only innovative and capable of meeting society’s need for energy, but also considers the role of women.

As a Western Canadian woman committed to building a new energy economy, my views are shaped by the fact I am a born and bred British Columbian who recently lived in Calgary for six years when I was working as the chief sustainability officer for Enbridge. And now it is a real honour for me to lead the Pembina Institute — a unique Alberta-born Canadian think- and do-tank working on the transition to a net-zero emissions energy future and, perhaps equally important in the pandemic world, a net-zero emissions energy workforce.
