The Community Transformations Project
Supporting Workers and Communities on the Road to Net Zero
In the coming decades, efforts to reduce greenhouse-gas emissions in Canada and around the world will drive changes in technology, markets and trade that are expected to affect workers and communities across the country.
By identifying the communities that are susceptible to workforce disruption, governments can collaborate with people who live and work in the communities to provide targeted support that builds resilience and optimism in the face of uncertainty.
This multi-year project includes an interactive map, a methodology paper, community profiles, policy briefs and expert-led studies. Publications will continue to be added to the site as they are ready.

Montreal – Ten per cent of Canadians live in communities susceptible to workforce disruption in the coming years because of global and domestic efforts to reduce greenhouse-gas emissions, according to...
Learn MoreThe Institute for Research on Public Policy is leading the Community Transformations Project, an initiative that seeks to identify the communities that are most likely to be susceptible to the changes in policy, technology and markets that will occur as Canada and the world reduce greenhouse-gas emissions.
Through research, data analysis and interviews with people who work and live in the communities that are likely to be affected, we will gather information, insight and advice that can support government decision-making and empower workers and communities concerned about their future.
Given the breadth and depth of this multi-year project, the IRPP has partnered with the Canadian Community Economic Development Network’s Community Data Program and The Energy Mix. External experts will also provide advice and guidance, as well as authoring complementary studies.

This project was made possible in part thanks to support from the Max Bell Foundation, the McConnell Foundation, and Vancity. Research independence is one of the IRPP’s core values, and the IRPP maintains editorial control over all publications.
