Who We Are

C4RE is a coalition of landowners, scientists, surface rights advocates, and Indigenous, environmental, human health and civil society organizations. The coalition formed around a shared concern about the AER’s failure to function as a credible regulator of energy development in Alberta, and its inability to meet its own stated mandate to “provide safe, orderly, and environmentally responsible energy development.” C4RE demands sweeping changes to the way the fossil fuel energy industry is regulated in Alberta to begin prioritizing the health and wellbeing of Indigenous Communities, Alberta’s ecosystems, and the public.

Energy Matters

Joint Statement: Canada and Alberta join forces to trample Indigenous Rights and weaken environmental protections in return for fossil fuel expansion, while ignoring cleanup problem

The MOU demonstrates that both governments are committed to serving the interests of oil and gas companies and their wealthy executives at the expense of all Canadians, Indigenous Peoples, and the air, land, and water we all depend on.

New Poll: Supermajority of Albertans want oil and gas companies to cover costs of well cleanup, unpaid municipal taxes and landowner rents

“Albertans don’t agree on a lot these days,” says pollster Janet Brown, “but our research shows they overwhelmingly want the oil and gas industry to pay their bills.”

New coalition files challenge against the Alberta Energy Regulator to ensure polluters pay for orphan well cleanup

Despite Sequoia bankruptcy, Alberta Energy Regulator gives the oil and gas industry a staggering 83% discount on its 2025 orphan cleanup fee.
