The Canadian Climate Institute is Canada’s leading climate change policy research organization. We produce rigorous analysis, economic modelling, and in-depth research on policy solutions to help Canada adapt to the effects of climate change, and compete and prosper in the global energy transition. Learn more about what we do.
The Canadian Climate Institute’s staff, board members, expert panels and advisors are located across the country.
Staff
Our research team is made up of experts and analysts in three primary research areas: clean growth and competitiveness, clean electricity, and climate risk and resilience. They are supported by public affairs, communications, and operations professionals.
By supporting our staff to work remotely from a mix of rural communities, small towns, and big cities across the country, we’re able to recruit the strongest candidates to our team, while ensuring our research, analysis, engagement and recommendations reflect both national breadth and nuanced regional perspectives.
Board of Directors
Our Board of Directors includes representatives from industry, finance, philanthropy, academia, and Indigenous communities and spans political parties and perspectives.
Expert Panels
Our expert panel review processes ensure our research and policy recommendations are highly credible, based on robust methodologies, and grounded in the best available evidence.
The three panels consist of independent, non-partisan, subject-matter experts from across Canada who specialize in fields including economics, climate change adaptation and mitigation, Indigenous knowledge, natural and social sciences, public policy, energy systems and engineering.
Council of Advisors
Our Council of Advisors includes representatives from steel, cement, fuel and other heavy industries; the financial and investment sector; and development, infrastructure and cleantech companies. They also provide input, feedback and guidance related to the Institute’s work.
The Institute is proud to be part of the Government of Canada’s 50 – 30 Challenge. The goal of the program is to challenge Canadian organizations to increase the representation and inclusion of diverse groups within their workplaces, while highlighting the benefits of giving all Canadians a seat at the table.
