GHG emissios : commitmet to halt climate chage to 2 degrees Celsius, but deep cosumer ad techology chage eeded

4 Trackig Trust Edelma trust barometer; see: The 2017 Edelma Trust Barometer reveals that trust is i crisis aroud the world trust has declied broadly, a pheomeo ot reported sice Edelma bega trackig trust amog this segmet i 2012.

6 NEB Moderizatio Review

7 Situatig the Expert Pael Recommedatios The NEB Moderizatio Expert Pael Report provides 26 recommedatios across key themes, icludig: Goverace Madate Decisio-makig Roles Legislative Tools for Lifecycle Regulatio Idigeous Egagemet Public Participatio Focus o Ladowers

8 Highlights of What We Heard Pipelie projects lay i the cross hairs of climate chage ad eergy debates Uclear policy ad visio result i the impossible situatio where a regulatory hearig becomes a polarizig policy forum There is a crisis of cofidece for the public, idigeous commuities ad ivestors alike Despite the great cocers, wi-wi solutios are possible ad there is much commo groud to build upo Trust ad cofidece is achievable with strog leadership, ew processes ad greater trasparecy

9 Key Priciples Priciples Applied to Recommeded New Regulatory Framework: 1. Livig the Natio-to-Natio Relatioship 2. Aligmet of NEB Activities to Natioal Policy Goals 3. Trasparecy of Processes ad Decisio-Makig ad Restorig Cofidece 4. Public Egagemet Throughout the Lifecycle 5. Results Matter: Regulatory Efficiecy ad Effectiveess

10 Visio ad Recommedatios: Outcomes & Structure A regulatory system that aligs with a clearly defied ad coheret atioal strategy to realize eergy, ecoomic, social, ad evirometal policy objectives A idepedet Eergy Iformatio Agecy, separate from both policy ad regulatory fuctios, accoutable for providig decisio-makers ad the public with critical eergy data, iformatio, ad aalysis A moder Commissio, govered by a Board of Directors, with decisios redered by a separate group of Hearig Commissioers

11 Visio ad Recommedatios: Process & Decisio Makig Two Phase Process: 1. Determie aligmet with atioal iterest before detailed project review or licesig decisios, iformed by substative Idigeous Cosultatio ad stakeholder egagemet 2. IF Yes, proceed with detailed review icludig evirometal assessmet, regulatory licesig ad project coditios

12 Visio ad Recommedatios: Egagemet & Relatioships Real ad substative participatio of Idigeous peoples, o their ow terms ad i full accord with Idigeous rights ad title, i every aspect of eergy regulatio A Commissio which radically icreases the scale ad scope of its stakeholder egagemet to build trust ad drive better outcomes for all Caadias Better relatioships with ladowers, o whose lad so much vital ifrastructure sits

13 Report Summary Iovative Natio - to - Natio structures ad processes Build capacity ad cofidece Edurig relatioships will shape a made i Caada approach to UNDRIP as ew ad existig eergy ifrastructure is cosidered ad kept safe Robust whole of govermet policy aligmet Esure the most seior govermet directio to shape ad maximize atioal iterest Effective ad Efficiet oe process oe review i Phases Esure that egagemet, decisios ad kowledge cascade through project assessmets ad lifecycle Moderized ad adaptive egagemet ad trasparecy Deliver a framework for ogoig credibility ad trust, from ladowers to commuities to atioal iterests

14 Where to from here

15 Edelma Shift: Istitutios workig with the people

16 Settig the Rules Typically thou shalts risk havig a rule set to solve yesterday s problems Hard to set aspiratios for ew approaches or cotiual improvemet Tesio betwee drivig toward compliace, ad adaptig to meet social expectatios Especially difficult i a complex eviromet with lots of sub-groups Istead of a static rule i law, eable adaptive process to update assumptios ad fid wiwi solutios

17 Achievig the Public Iterest Govermet Respose: Effective Regulatio (icludig Icludig EA) Goal Orieted Regulatio Clear ad Predictable Processes EA as a plaig tool Public Egagemet Measures ad Public Reportig Verificatio, Audits Cooperatio with Agecies (e.g.: Accords, Harmoizatio Agreemets, DM Task Force) Idustry Respose: Corporate Goverace & Resposibility Maagemet Systems (PDCA) Effective Processes ad Procedures EA ad desig modificatios Stakeholder Egagemet Measures ad Public Reportig Verificatio, Audits ( trust but verify ) Cooperatio across Idustry (e.g.: Forest Certificatio, Resposible Care, CEPA Itegrity First)

18 I Coclusio Persoal Thoughts

19 1. Assumptios are misleadig Risks caot be iformed by data aloe Expect our world to remai very fluid, dyamic ad chaotic Good decisios eed exteral perspectives Relatioships that ca challege assumptios will provide better results for everyoe

20 2. Ratioal is ot a sigle truth Global realities: thigs do t always alig Eergy trade Climate chage Fiace mobility Local realities: expectatios do t always alig Affordable, clea, safe, reliable eergy Each of us is both citize ad cosumer ot always aliged either! (Clelad) Acceptace ad Coset Activism Veto or wi-wi accommodatio

21 3. Be prepared to lead Courage 1. Shared cofidece 2. Probig / Skeptical 3. Iterests 4. Accommodatio 5. Fair progress 6. Itetioal Despair 1. Mistrust 2. Closed / Cyical 3. Fixed Positios 4. Coflict 5. Paralysis 6. Complacet

22 Chage is Needed Is Chage Needed to Eable a Clea, Safe ad Secure Eergy Future? YES Do you believe it is possible? YES Ivitatio durig this coferece: Seek out someoe you thik you d disagree with ad fid out why they are here likely that we care about the same stuff ad ca trust eough to get started
