| dc.description.abstract | We planned this Dialogue, Planning for Collective Ownership of Climate Transition Infrastructure in British Columbia, to bring together researchers and practitioners who share the belief that communities should play a central role in shaping the technologies and systems intended to support decarbonization. We used the broad framing of ‘climate transition infrastructure’ to include a wide range of technologies and practices that facilitate emissions reductions, including but not limited to renewable energy generation, electric transmission lines, and battery storage. Historically, the development of these systems has relied heavily on private investment and developer-led project initiation. As we have seen across our wide range of experiences, this model often risks reproducing patterns of environmental harm and social inequity by limiting local agency, constraining community benefits, and sidelining community knowledge. | |
