For helping to formulate the framework of the book, and providing project vision and critical feedback, thanks to Gwendolyn Blue. For capturing the work of ABCD in such a beautiful and expressive visual form, thanks to Liisa Sorsa. For her generous assistance in multiple ways, thanks to Deb Schrader. For those who agreed to collaborate with us, and experiment on engaging citizens using public deliberation, appreciation is extended to: the City of Edmonton, especially Mayor Don Iveson and the Office of the Environment (particularly Jim Andrais and Mark Brostrom); Fiona Cavanagh and the Centre for Public Involvement; Jesse Row and the Alberta Energy Efficiency Alliance; and Shannon Frank and the Oldman Watershed Council. I am also grateful for the funding we received from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada, the Award to Scholarly Publications Program, Athabasca University, the University of Alberta, and the Centre for Public Involvement which made the research on public deliberation and this book possible.

Foreword
The issue of climate change is close to my heart. Since joining Edmonton City Council in 2007, I have been committed to bold action to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions. Addressing emissions not only relates to the broader issue of climate disruption, it also factors into many other health, economic, and quality of life benefits. If Edmontonians want a vibrant, innovative, globally competitive city, we must become a leader on climate change and energy transition.
When The Way We Green plan came before Council in 2011, much of the discussion centered on what kind of engagement we would undertake to move an aspirational catalogue of measures toward implementation. I was enthusiastic when Alberta Climate Dialogue (ABCD) approached me that same year about building a citizen-deliberation process into City decision-making on climate and energy questions. As the Council lead on the Environment portfolio, I reminded my colleagues that on the really tough aspects of climate change we had a rare opportunity to connect with global networks to help a variety of decision-making bodies navigate these problems.
Something municipalities have done effectively in Canada, and around the world, is to lead when there is an absence of leadership from sub-national and national governments. Edmonton City Council understood that a municipality could not alone deliver solutions to emissions for our city, much less our region, province, or country. That said, the majority of Edmonton councillors were comfortable with climate science which gave us an opportunity to make an important progressive statement. With regard to our responsibility for the emissions output from this community, we thought it essential to provide strong leadership where we could.
As an elected representative, I am reassured to know that when a diverse group of citizens is brought together in a room, given the facts and a chance to fully discuss an issue, that group will let you know with a remarkable degree of consensus what ought to be done. As a decision maker, I communicated to Edmonton City Council the deliberative process we were building with ABCD, which we considered a proxy for what citizens, so informed, would come up with. I described how public deliberation was a way to get beyond the issue polarization that we had struggled against, which resulted in overly general discussions of the issues with only directly affected special interests coming forward. We knew that including all relevant interests in the public deliberation was crucial to the success of this process. After all, Edmonton is an industry town with a huge stake in the fossil fuel business. If that perspective had been excluded, we would not have had all the stakeholders in the room and the process could have easily been discredited.
However, our society is more complicated and broadly composed than special interests and industry voices might suggest. It contains people of all age groups, from different cultural, linguistic, religious, and economic backgrounds; folks with various perspectives on these vexing questions. For example, Edmonton will very soon have the largest urban Indigenous population in the country and be the fifth-largest destination for new Canadians. If we do not include individuals and groups that reflect the makeup of our city, then obviously we will miss the mark. The process had to genuinely register the diverse voices of our community to have credibility with the rest of the citizenry.
