Net-Zero Skills: What will Canada need for the coming energy transition? (Pembina Institute)

Body: 

This report reviews literature to analyze the degree to which existing skillsets in Canada’s fossil fuel labour force can be transferred to a net-zero–aligned economy and identifies the potential skills gaps that may exist. This report also examines the skills that will be required in Canada’s energy end-use sectors, including buildings and transportation. Finally, this report examines existing equity issues within Canada’s energy sector, particularly as they relate to Indigenous rights and reconciliation, as well as gender equity, and how those inequities may be addressed on the path to net-zero.
