Upcoming Public Lecture: Global Energy Policy and the Future of Nuclear Energy
The Global Institute for Energy, Minerals and Society (GIEMS) is pleased to share an upcoming public lecture hosted by the Johnson Shoyama Graduate School of Public Policy, taking place April 23, 2026 in Regina, Saskatchewan.
This free public event brings together international expertise and Saskatchewan-based leadership to explore the evolving role of nuclear energy within broader energy system transformation.
Energy systems around the world are undergoing rapid change, with significant implications for economies, governments, and communities. As Saskatchewan continues to play an important role in global energy production—and explores future pathways including nuclear power—conversations around energy policy, innovation, and governance are increasingly important.
The evening will feature a keynote address by Tim Stone, CBE, Chairman of the Nuclear Industry Association. Drawing on decades of experience advising governments, investors, and major infrastructure projects, Mr. Stone will examine how past decisions and existing systems are shaping the energy transitions now underway, with particular attention to the role of nuclear energy in a changing global landscape.
Following the keynote, a panel of Saskatchewan leaders will provide regional context and perspectives, including:
Margot Hurlbert, Canada Research Chair in Climate Change, Energy and Sustainability Policy, JSGS
Grant Isaac, President and Chief Operating Officer, Cameco
Rupen Pandya, President and Chief Executive Officer, SaskPower
Together, the discussion will explore what global energy trends mean for Saskatchewan’s energy future.
