Pembina Institute, an energy and environment think tank in Alberta and member of Climate Action Network Canada, works for a long-term transition from the current reality - dominated by high impact, inefficient, non-renewable, carbon intensive energy systems - to a sustainable future that utilizes 100% low-impact, renewable energy. Pembina works on four key policy areas, so our checklist covers all of them: climate change, oilsands, renewable energy and efficiency, and sustainable transportation.

"At a time when climate scientists tell us we need global emissions to peak and start declining within a handful of years, Canada isn't close to being on track to hit its current 2020 greenhouse gas target. The winner of this election gets to set the direction of Canada's energy and climate policy at a crucial moment", states Ed Whittingham, in his Pembina blog about the check list.
