dc.description.abstractThrough an online survey, this research explores collaboration between Calgary's local government and energy industry to address climate change through Employee Engagement, Community Investment, and Operations Performance within Calgary. This study utilizes the Theory of Planned Behaviour and the Criteria of Control Model. The research recommends a \three-cornered" approach consisting of Calgary's energy business, local government, and residents. This study calls to engage responsible organizations in becoming agents of change; to educate residents on GHG's; and to bring the public and private sectors together on city resilience using the local government's long-term sustainability plans. There are 22 participating organizations with diverse pro les. Results show that most participants have GHG reduction strategies linked to addressing climate change. A considerable number have an \appetite" for collaboration, but a large percentage remains hesitant for unknown reasons. While the participants support Employee Engagement and Operations Performance, they show less willingness to employ Community Investment.
