Energy and Environment

高效和可持续的能源供应对加拿大经济的繁荣至关重要。目前，要满足国际减缓气候变化目标的压力，加上当地满足日益增长的能源需求和满足环境法规的需要，是加拿大在管理能源系统方面面临的最大挑战。该CRC计划的目标是开发一套空间分布的能源和环境系统分析和风险管理方法，并将其应用于多个加拿大地区。研究结果将有助于揭示能源和环境系统的复杂性以及阻碍可持续能源发展的障碍。因此，可以为制定 * 具有巨大社会经济影响的理想政策 * 提供科学依据。

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.*
