Toward a Canadian agenda for sustainability transition research
Sustainability transitions research has expanded well beyond its original empirical settings, yet questions remain about how transition perspectives can be meaningfully translated across political economies with distinctive configurations of institutional, geographic, environmental, and historical characteristics. In Canada, these questions are especially salient, as political-economic particularities both complicate the application of transition…
Canada’s climate policy crossroads
Canada’s greenhouse gas emissions goals are at odds with its intentions for fossil fuel production. • The provinces most dependent on oil and gas extraction avoid aligning production with territorial emissions reductions. • In contrast, Quebec has foregone fossil fuel development to become a climate policy leader. • Fossil fuel dependency creates economic vulnerability as global demand shifts. • Canadian climate policy requires a dual focus on bo…
Equity, diversity and inclusion promises, exclusive practices? How to move towards effective and just energy transitions
Equitable, diverse and inclusive action in a climate emergency is not optional – it is an imperative. Despite the growing rhetoric for inclusive energy systems transformations, many such promises are often empty signifiers and lack substantive action. For energy transitions to be effective and sustainable, they must include, prioritize, and benefit diverse groups, encompassing marginalized communities, underrepresented stakeholders and those disp…
Capping oil emissions and the mass politics of Canadian sectoral climate policy
The political economy of fossil fuel production in the Post-Paris Era
Multilevel governance, climate (in)justice, and settler colonialism—evidence from First Nations disaster evacuations in so-called Canada
Wildfires and subsequent community evacuations offer a highly visible example of climate change-induced dislocation. In so-called Canada, both the changing climate and reconciliation with Indigenous Peoples are policy priorities for the federal government and certain provincial governments, like the Province of British Columbia. Despite these purported policy priorities, we find evidence that colonial logics–like the rejection of Indigenous gover…
Pipeline Politics and the Future of Environmental Justice Struggles in North America
Financing energy futures
Pipelines are technological and political undertakings, but also financial feats. When pipelines are in protracted states of uncertainty—not yet built, but not yet canceled—the outcomes seem not to benefit anyone: proponents face cost overruns and regulatory battles, while potentially affected communities remain under threat of disruption and dispossession. In light of these negative outcomes, why do such projects remain in liminal states for so …
Bridge fuel feuds
Transnational Private Environmental Rule Makers as Interest Organizations
While anecdotal evidence suggests that transnational private rule-making organizations (TPROs)—such as eco-certification organizations—lobby public policy makers, we know little about the extent of this phenomenon or the characteristics of TPROs that lobby. TPRO lobbying is relevant given that their rule-making activities directly intersect with public policy. We use the interest group and private governance literatures to examine TPRO features t…
Explaining Variation in Oil Sands Pipeline Projects
While the vast majority of oil pipeline projects in Canada have been successfully built, several mega oil sands projects within and passing through Canada have been cancelled or significantly delayed. This article explains why these delays and cancellations have occurred. A systematic cross-case analysis is used to provide insight into the changing politics of oil sands pipelines. Qualitative comparative analysis (QCA) is used to identify combina…
