Student EPt Award: Renewable Energy Development on First Nation Lands- Eco Canada
Renewable Energy Development on First Nation Lands
My research focuses on the poblems faced with RE on FNL, especially as we need more clean energy sources in Canada and in paticular, the need to reduce our reliance on fossil fuels in remote and Indigenous communities and ensure the legal landscape reresents that change. Through my research, I have identified the barriers to renewable poject generation on First Nations Lands in Alberta, such as lack of policy development around the laws and financial assurances for reclamation and remediation of RE on FNL, and access to capital as a major barrier for some First Nation communities. My research is collected through a variety of sources and organizations, research institutions, governments, and arms-length associations, including; rules, laws, and regulations that govern the country, povince, cities, and First Nations communities.
