Abstract

First Nations in BC are participating in diverse and sustainable renewable energy projects and are interested in expanding their involvement. First Nations are using renewable energy projects to achieve economic, social, political, and environmental objectives. However, barriers, such as a lack of financing and community readiness, make it difficult for them to expand their participation in the industry.
