Launching in June 2024, Open Insights aspires to contribute to the Canadian climate and energy transition policy dialogue by enabling reliable, transparent modeling that improves the rigour and quality of policy outcomes.  This initiative will build upon the University of Victoria and EMH’s M3 platform, enhancing it with new models and data sources. The aim is to substantially boost the platform’s capabilities, in particular enabling deeper insights into energy systems, emissions, the economy, and employment at both national and regional levels.
