Background

About Jennifer Winter

I am a Professor in the Department of Economics and the School of Public Policy at the University of Calgary in Calgary, Alberta. I am also on interchange as the Departmental Science Advisor at Environment and Climate Change Canada. My research evaluates climate policies, and examines the effects of government regulation and policy on energy development and the associated consequences and trade-offs. My research interests include climate policy, energy policy, environmental policy, natural resource development, public finance and the environmental consequences of resource development. I have testified to the Senate of Canada and House of Commons on emissions pricing policies based on my research, and have advised governments in Canada in several capacities. I am actively engaged in increasing public understanding of energy and environmental policy issues; recognition of my efforts include a 2014 Young Women in Energy Award, being named one of Alberta Oil Magazine’s Top 35 Under 35 in 2016, one of Avenue magazine’s Calgary Top 40 Under 40 in 2017, and one of Canada’s Clean50 and Clean16 in 2019. I also serve on several boards and advisory committees.
