Résumé
Efficient and sustainable energy supplies are essential to the prosperity of Canadian
economy. Presently, pressures to meet international goals for climate-change
mitigation, combined with local needs to satisfy increasing energy demands and meet
environmental regulations, represent Canada's greatest challenges in managing energy
systems. The objective of this CRC program is to develop a set of spatially-
distributed energy-and-environmental systems-analysis and risk-management
methodologies and apply them to multiple Canadian regions. The results will help
reveal complexities in energy-and-environmental systems and obstacles that hinder
sustainable energy development. Thus, scientific bases can be provided for formulating
desired policies that are of enormous socio-economic implications.
