Interconnected. Our Economy. Our Natural Resources. Our Environment. Our Public Services. Our Obligation to Each Other. New Brunswick's Future. [Atlantica Centre for Energy]

Moncton-based economic development consulting firm Jupia Consultants was commissioned by the Atlantica Centre for Energy to write a discussion paper on the role of natural resources as an economic driver and opportunities for growth. The paper also considers the broader role of community and government partners in ensuring that resource development can be achieved in an environmentally sustainable way. A main purpose of the paper is to develop a starting point for a conversation about our natural resources (renewable and non-renewable), our energy sectors, and how these could potentially be a major contributor to the future economic development of the province.
