Join the Conservation Council of New Brunswick on December 7th, 1 p.m. to learn how a lack of trust, fairness, and community benefits combined to undermine community acceptance of two wind energy projects proposed for Northern New Brunswick.

Dr. Louise Comeau, Director of Climate Solutions, and Louis-Charles Vaillancourt, researcher, will share the results of a year-long case study of the factors influencing social and community acceptance of renewable energy. Our latest case study features interviews with residents of Anse-Bleue and Pokeshaw, N.B., where two wind projects were approved under N.B. Power’s Locally Owned Renewable Energy Projects that are Small Scale (LORESS) Program but which did not proceed due to public opposition.

 This webinar will share recommendations on how to increase the chances of success for renewable energy projects.
