Published January 30, 2023 | Version Final

Project deliverable Open

Renewable energy projects frequently draw ire of local communities. Early, meaningful, and collaborative engagement is key to building partnerships and turning sceptics into allies.
Renewable energy development cannot only be justified by the decarbonisation effort. Broader social and economic concerns for Arctic communities must be integrally taken into account.
Placing justice-based conditions and concerns at the heart of energy decision-making (for example, concerning permitting and licensing) holds significant potential to build a more legitimate energy governance regime in the Arctic.
