Conference Title: "Vert-de-gris: When the Current No Longer Flows" Energy Transition Challenged by Social Acceptability

Context of the Conference:

• The current Quebec energy demand is met by 47% local and renewable sources (hydraulic, wind, and biomass energy) and 53% imported hydrocarbons.
• According to Hydro-Québec, an additional 150 to 200 terawatt-hours of electricity will need to be produced by 2035, almost doubling the current total production.
• The anticipated increase in energy needs requires significant infrastructure investments.
• There is growing opposition to major energy consumption and production projects: social acceptability is on everyone's lips.

Conference Description: This dynamic and applied conference will be:

• Participatory, drawing on participants' experiences and understanding of the issues.
• Based on case studies, scientific expertise, and concrete professional experiences.

Learning Targets: This conference will enable you to:

• Strengthen your knowledge, enhance your arguments, and improve your intervention skills in matters of social acceptability.
• Develop a common understanding of the factors contributing to crises or social tensions.

Learning Objectives: By the end of this workshop, you will be well-equipped to:

1. Define and understand "social risk" and social acceptability.
2. Recognize 12 of the main triggers generating public anger.
3. Develop a credible and nuanced argument on social acceptability and energy transition.

The conference will last approximately 40 minutes, with content shared via a PowerPoint presentation.

Expert Name and Biography: Cédric Bourgeois, co-founder and partner of Transfert Environnement et Société.
