Draft:Clean Energy Canada

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
  • Comment: The organisation appears to be doing important work at the national level. So, I would have expected it to be notable. But I just can't find the evidence for it. Not in the draft, not in my own search. It fails the second criterion of WP:NONPROFIT. Consider merging content that can be merged to existing articles. A redirect may be advisable if there's a good target. Usedtobecool ☎️ 04:52, 23 January 2024 (UTC)
  • Comment: Insufficient evidence of independent, reliable sources about the organisation; suggest making a section of its parent organisation instead. Papers published by the organisation do not themselves constitute notability. lizthegrey (talk) 03:59, 6 December 2023 (UTC)
  • Comment: Aside from the journals, some of the sources are passing mentions of the subject. Toadette (Happy holiday!) 06:28, 5 December 2023 (UTC)
  • Comment: As per Ca, this contains citebombing and lacks sufficient editorial independence from the organisation itself. Consider merging this content to a section of Simon Fraser University instead of having a separate page for it. lizthegrey (talk) 22:26, 3 December 2023 (UTC)
  • Comment: The WP:CITEBOMB in 'Influence' and 'Publications' needs to be cut down... 1 or 2 per statement you are refencing will be fine - RichT|C|E-Mail 18:11, 22 November 2023 (UTC)

Clean Energy Canada is a non profit[2] non-partisan think tank based out of Simon Fraser University that conducts and publishes research on climate and clean energy policy. The organization is formally a program of the university's Morris J. Wosk Centre for Dialogue but is independently funded.[3][4]

A study of Canadian civil society organizations adressing climate change identifies Clean Energy Canada as a "large, well-established Canadian environmental non-governmental organization (ENGO)" and the second-most active pro-climate actor in Canada in terms of engagement.[5]

Focus & Activities[edit]

Clean Energy Canada researches and communicates solutions to Canada's energy transition, with an "explicit mandate to build consensus around clean growth by bringing business leaders, NGOs, political elites, academics and other segments of civil society into dialogue and collaboration."[6][7] It has been described by media and academics as a climate ENGO and as a progressive think tank.[3][8][9]

Policy Influence[edit]

At the federal level, Clean Energy Canada has called for industrial policy to unlock trade and employment opportunities in renewable energy, clean tech, and energy conservation.[6][10][11] Its work, which includes periodic jobs modelling and other types of economic modelling,[12][13][14][15] has informed the country's 2020 and 2022 (current) climate plans, in addition to supplementary plans and strategies.[16][17]

When the government estimated a shorter break-even timeline, the report says, it relied on modelling from the Trillium Network for Advanced Manufacturing and Clean Energy Canada, which included investments and assumed production increases in other areas of the EV supply chain. The PBO report, meanwhile, only looked at cell and module manufacturing.
