Annual Report 2006-2007 – Communications and Publications
In 2006–2007, the NRTEE continued to ensure that decision makers, the media, and the public recognize it as a leader in providing objective views and analysis on environmental and economic implications of priority issues. The NRTEE released its Advice on a Long-term Strategy on Energy and Climate Change for Canada in June 2006, as well as an advisory note on The International Policy Elements of a Long-term Energy and Climate Change Strategy for Canada in October 2006. The NRTEE also added another report to its State of the Debate series. This new report, entitled Capital Markets and Sustainability: Investing in a sustainable future, was released at the Toronto Stock Exchange in February 2007.
As well, the NRTEE received extensive national media coverage throughout the year on a number of issues including energy and climate change, capital markets, vehicle feebates, and clean air.
The NRTEE website remains an important tool for disseminating key information to stakeholders and members of the public. It was the primary source for information on the NRTEE’s Advice on a Long-term Strategy on Energy and Climate Change for Canada, The International Policy Elements of a Longterm Energy and Climate Change Strategy for Canada, and various background papers and case studies prepared during the course of the NRTEE’s work.
The website’s Virtual Library allows users to easily access over 300 NRTEE documents on a vast range of environment and economy issues. The most frequently requested reports in this fiscal year included NRTEE’s Advice on a Long-term Strategy on Energy and Climate Change for Canada, and the NRTEE’s State of the Debate reports Economic Instruments for Long-term Reductions in Energy-based Carbon Emissions, Environment and Sustainable Development Indicators for Canada, and Capital Markets and Sustainability.
NRTEE publications were also marketed and distributed on a partial cost-recovery basis through Renouf Publishing Company Ltd.
