Energy and environmental leaders’ views of challenges in the energy sector

Abstract

Energy and environmental leaders say that misinformation/lack of knowledge and environmental concerns are the top challenge for energy projects, while greenhouse emissions and fossil fuel-related pollution are the top challenge for environmental stewardship. Engagement and equal participation are the top challenge in terms of indigenous communities and the energy sector. Panel participants recommend increased transparency/clarification for the public as a strategy for increasing public confidence in energy projects.
