Topics & Keywords:
benefits-sharing, Climate change mitigation, Collaborative partnerships, community engagement, financial capital
Limitations:
The review is geographically limited to western and central Canada, excluding Atlantic provinces due to insufficient literature, and calls for more empirical research on the dynamics between the Crown, private agencies, and the socio-technical process of energy transition in remote Indigenous communities.
