North American Energy Dialogue (Seminar 6)
March 3, 2022
12:00 Noon
An energy transition is happening now, and it’s complicated. While global governments set ambitious targets to decarbonize by 2050, the International Energy Agency still forecasts a demand of 20-80 million barrels of oil per day by 2050. Beyond its role as a fuel, oil is necessary for production of plastics, synthetics, clothing and more. With such conflicting priorities and demands, what is the future of the oil and gas sector? Industry experts will discuss the economic, political, and social contexts of oil and gas development, its future and consider the consequences of transitioning too quickly or not quickly enough. Learn more by joining the next North American Energy Dialogue webinar "The Future of Oil and Gas in the Age of Decarbonization", featuring panellists from Canada, Mexico, and the USA, at noon on March 3.

AWB Network Call for Proposals
Deadline: March 7, 2022
Current and recently-retired UAlberta faculty and staff are invited to submit proposals introducing a capacity-building project in an institution of higher education in the developing world to AWB.
Given the uncertainties regarding international travel during the course of the pandemic, in this call for project proposals, we will prioritize submissions that can be implemented in whole or in part online.
Your proposal must conform with AWB’s mission and operating principles and be in countries in which AWB works (see the full proposal application details).
It is important to understand that even though these proposals arise through this call for project proposals the resulting projects are partnerships between AWB and the developing world institution. Should you act as a volunteer on the project you propose, you would do so under the auspices of AWB. Although, the AWB Network institution has no formal role in the project, benefit often accrues to the institution by virtue of the volunteer’s participation and through unanticipated relationships that are formed during the course of the activities.
If you would like to participate, please contact
