Background

About Stephen Thomas

I am a campaigner, policy analyst and engineer with a decade of experience working on the just transition to a carbon-free future. I work to support organizations with bold campaigns and policy interventions for key energy and climate issues across Canada. I'm currently the Clean Energy Manager with the David Suzuki Foundation, working with a great team to build public support and provide strong policy recommendations toward achieving the goal of 100% zero-emissions electricity across Canada by 2035. From 2016 to 2020, I was the Energy Campaign Coordinator with the Ecology Action Centre - Atlantic Canada's largest environmental organization. I led campaigns to strengthen climate action, leave fossil fuels in the ground, and leave no one behind in the transition to climate solutions. I have experience in the renewable energy and energy efficiency sectors in Canada. My past work supported a development portfolio of over 200MW of community-led renewable energy projects across North America. I am active in a number of national and local climate justice organizations. I'm committed to working collaboratively toward Indigenous rights, climate action, and a just transition for workers and communities.
