Prof. Nathwani (Executive Director, WISE) was invited to this by-invitation-only roundtable, governed under Chatham House Rules, which involved a broad spectrum of energy and environment stakeholders in Canada. The event was specifically structured to foster discussion, which would inform (in non-attributable form) an upcoming Conference Board research briefing.
The dialogue at the event was based on three key themes that guided the sessions of the day: Bankability and Finance, International Competitiveness, and Climate Legitimacy. Each session had a thematic speaker who gave an overview of the topic and the key issues, a panel that discussed the topic and offered diverse perspectives and a pathway to an outcome where roundtable participants discussed the topic in a workshop format and provided recommendations.
