EDUCATION SESSION

Update on ESG and Canada's Nuclear Power Strategy

Investor interest in clean energy solutions has put nuclear power in the spotlight. Some supporters highlight it as a carbon-free transition power source that can help diversify and secure electricity supply. Others underscore the high upfront capital investment, long lead times and concerns about the Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) aspects of nuclear energy.

The Canadian government excluded nuclear power from its Sovereign Green Bond Framework, while also providing tax credit for nuclear power generation, adding complexity to Canada’s nuclear power strategy.

Hear how investors weigh ESG considerations regarding investment in nuclear power. Consider whether the allocation of public and private capital to sustainability initiatives will gain momentum over the long term.

Take a closer look at what Tamara Tisminetzky, Director, Sustainable Fitch, and Sarah Keyes, CEO, ESG Global Advisors, term the social license to develop support for the government's nuclear power strategy. Learn what lies ahead, including the risks and opportunities faced by both issuers and investors.

Bring your questions for a lively discussion, as you explore the ESG themes and cross-sector trends affecting investment in nuclear power.
