Water Institute member Blair Feltmate, professor in Waterloo's School of Environment, Enterprise and Development and the head of the Intact Centre on Climate Adaptation at the University of Waterloo, is part of a new Pan-Canadian Expert Collaboration team on climate change, green energy, and adaptation.
This new multimillion dollar research team is designed to give Canadians and their governments credible, authoritative advice on climate change and clean energy development, and will be headquartered at the University of Waterloo.
The Pan-Canadian Expert Collaboration, announced last Tuesday, will include more than 20 post-secondary institutions and research groups from across the country to generate independent research and advice in three areas — carbon pricing, clean energy development, and strategies for climate-change adaptation.
