Pembina's analysis of the recent controversy over the work of climate scientists finds that the science of climate change remains rigorous, providing a credible and compelling basis for policy decisions.

In this letter, representatives of four leading international development and environmental organizations ask the Government of Canada to fulfill its commitment to provide new funding to support action on climate change in developing countries.

A giant natural gas basin lies beneath Canada's Northwest Territories. And the drive to recover that gas is on, with a proposal in the works to open up three major production fields and to build two pipelines to southern markets. It's called the Mackenzie Gas Project and it has the potential to open the doors for the biggest industrial development Canada's Arctic has ever seen.

Based on the in situ oil sands report card, this best practices checklist shows how industry can improve environmental performance.

Pembina's analysis of Canadian and American budget documents shows the U.S. is set to outspend Canada nearly 18:1 per capita on renewables, and more than 8:1 per capita overall on clean energy programs and projects in 2010.  

This report identifies energy efficiency legislation used in other jurisdictions as a starting point for the conversation in Alberta to develop an Energy Efficiency Act. It also contains stakeholder perspectives on how each legislative option could be implemented in the province.

This backgrounder outlines, in table format, the top sources of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in Canada, based on 2006 data and compared to 1990.

The results of a public opinion survey shows that Albertans highly value home energy efficiency and support stronger energy efficiency standards for new homes.

In the wake of the release of its report, Opening the Door for Oil Sands Expansion: The Hidden Environmental Impacts of the Enbridge Gateway Pipeline, the Pembina Institute wrote this letter to Jim Prentice, Minister of the Environment, and Peter Sylvester, president of the Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency. In the letter, Pembina calls on the government to amend the terms of reference for the environmental assessment to include the upstream impacts of the proposed pipeline.

This document outlines four key opportunities for the B.C. government to strengthen its carbon tax in the 2010 budget.

The proposed Enbridge Northern Gateway Pipeline Project will facilitate the expansion of the Alberta oil sands, causing significant environmental impacts.

Linking National Cap-and-Trade Systems in North America examines the pros and cons of linking cap-and-trade systems and examines the prospects for linking in North America.

This document offers six recommendations for improving the planning and development of renewable electricity projects in British Columbia. The recommendations, authored by the David Suzuki Foundation, the Pembina Institute, Watershed Watch Salmon Society and West Coast Environmental Law, have been endorsed by 25 environmental organizations across the province.

This evaluation was prepared by the Pembina Institute as input to the Climate Change Performance Index 2010, which ranks countries' performance in controlling greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Full information on the index, including countries' rankings, is available here.

This fact sheet addresses questions about the social, environmental and economic impacts of large-scale wind power production in Canada and around the world.
