The Energy Lie Canadians Believe—And Why The World Disagrees // Shannon Joseph
Manage episode 470044829 series 3605316
Shannon Joseph once dreamed of being an astronaut, but ultimately chose to tackle humanity's most pressing challenges right here on Earth.
With over 15 years of experience in energy, sustainability, and Indigenous relations, Shannon has shaped major federal policies like the Impact Assessment Act and the UNDRIP Act. As Chair of Energy for a Secure Future, she is leading a critical conversation about how Canada can balance energy development, environmental responsibility, and economic growth.
"In Canada, we assume energy will always be affordable and reliable. But we should not assume. We need to be cold-blooded about the numbers and whether this will actually work." – Shannon Joseph
