Tracking Progress on Supporting Workers and Communities in Canada's Energy Transition

The report outlines a framework of 18 indicators designed to monitor the implementation of the 2024 Canadian Sustainable Jobs Act. These indicators are categorized into risk and readiness, response capacity, and results, focusing on economic exposure to fossil fuels, governance inclusivity—particularly with Indigenous peoples and workers—and the quality and equity of new low-carbon employment.

• The report proposes 18 quantitative and qualitative indicators to track the success of the 2024 Canadian Sustainable Jobs Act, categorized into risk and readiness, response, and results.
• Assessing community risk and readiness involves measuring workforce disruption in high-emitting industries and the percentage of government revenues derived from fossil fuel activities.
• Effective response capacity is defined by governance that includes tripartite social dialogues and the extent of decision-making authority granted to Indigenous partnerships.
• The evaluation of results focuses on net-zero alignment, the creation of high-quality sustainable jobs, and social equity, including the employment rate of underrepresented groups such as Indigenous Peoples, women, and racialized individuals.
