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

This report by the International Institute for Sustainable Development proposes a framework of 18 quantitative and qualitative indicators to track Canada's progress in supporting workers and communities during the energy transition, specifically to implement the 2024 Canadian Sustainable Jobs Act.

• The report proposes 18 quantitative and qualitative indicators to establish a baseline and monitor the implementation of the 2024 Canadian Sustainable Jobs Act, focusing on risk exposure, transition readiness, and response capacity.
• Measuring community risk and readiness involves assessing the economic reliance on fossil fuels and the existing institutional capacity to provide worker supports and enable sustainable jobs.
• Effective response capacity is dependent on governance structures that utilize a whole-of-government approach, maintain corporate accountability, and include employers, workers, and Indigenous governments and communities.
• The success of sustainable jobs policies is measured by more than just the quantity of new jobs; it includes job quality, equitable access, training availability, and alignment with climate objectives like the Paris Agreement.
