4(C) - Efficiency for Whom? GBA+ & the Energy Transition
15:50 - 16:05
Intersectional analysis is under-utilized across Canada. In the context of regulatory efficiency and the push for rapid development, this presentation showcases preliminary findings of a project designed to understand if, and how, legislative and policy developments, particularly related to mining and energy, align with principles and practices to make development processes accessibility, including access for queer, LGBTQ2S+, and disabled peoples. Findings are based on a robust review of literature and preliminary survey and workshop data from the International Association of Impact Assessment (IAIA) 2025 Conference. The presentation will explore barriers to including gender-based analysis plus (GBA+) in assessment decision-making processes.
