Governance
The Climate Engagement Canada initiative is governed by a Steering Committee and a Technical Committee. It also convenes an Industry Leaders Advisory Panel composed of Canadian financial institutions to provide a forum for ongoing dialogue and exchange. The RIA and SHARE serve as the CEC’s joint Secretariat.
