Environment & Resilience Summit

The environmental industry is entering a new cycle. Geopolitical pressures, shifting public priorities, rapid technological change and demand for new infrastructure are transforming the market. Yet environmental expertise is becoming more critical, not less, to delivering energy systems, data centres, power infrastructure and other essential assets responsibly and efficiently.

André-Martin Bouchard will explore why the industry should approach this next era with realism, confidence and optimism, and how environmental professionals can help deliver infrastructure faster and better.

North America is introducing new approaches to streamline permitting and consenting for major infrastructure. This panel will explore how early planning, stakeholder and Indigenous engagement, regulatory coordination, and digital tools can reduce risk and create greater project certainty.

• Reducing approval risk through early planning and engagement
• Navigating evolving Canadian and US regulatory requirements
• Using digital tools and AI to support more efficient environmental assessments

This panel will examine how organisations can manage environmental liabilities and use remediation, redevelopment and adaptive reuse to create wider economic, environmental and community value.

• Managing closure, decommissioning and long-term environmental liabilities
• Unlocking value through brownfield redevelopment and adaptive reuse
• Transforming legacy sites into assets for communities and local economies
