Scott Skinner

When faced with the challenge of a global pandemic, the mission to tackle climate change wasn’t paused – rather, it accelerated under Scott’s leadership. With Clean Foundation’s team skyrocketing from 50 to over 170 dynamic staff members, Scott set a monumental effort into motion. From growing its current energy efficiency programs, to leading electric vehicle initiatives and expanding the Clean Leaders Internship Program across Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island, the foundation’s impact has been profound. The budget’s increase from $30 million to over $40 million mirrors the expanding scope of their work. Scott’s strategic role as the Chair of the Minister’s Round Table on the Environment and Sustainable Prosperity for Nova Scotia, coupled with advisory positions, underscores his pivotal role in shaping vital climate policies. Clean Foundation’s support of the development of Nova Scotia’s Green Hydrogen Action Plan, and projects such as flood-resilient home upgrades are transforming communities, ensuring a clean economy that’s both inclusive and enduring, even in the face of global challenges.
