本稿はカナダ・ノースウェスト準州の4つのオフグリッド先住民コミュニティにおける低炭素エネルギー移行を検討する。国や州のディーゼル削減政策が排出削減を目指す一方で、コミュニティの優先事項は手頃な価格と信頼性であり、再生可能エネルギーもコスト削減と停電対策として評価されている。政策介入は地域のエネルギー体験を考慮すべきと結論づける。
English
This chapter examines low-carbon energy transitions in four off-grid Indigenous communities in Canada's Northwest Territories. While state-level diesel reduction policies target emissions, community priorities center on affordability and reliability, with renewable energy valued for cost savings and backup power during outages. It concludes that policy interventions should incorporate local energy experiences.

日本のGX文脈において
日本の離島や過疎地域におけるエネルギー自給とレジリエンス向上に示唆を与える。特に、補助金に依存する現状とコミュニティの実質的なニーズ(コスト・信頼性)の乖離は、日本のエネルギー政策にも共通する課題である。
In the global GX context
This paper offers insights for global energy transition discourse by highlighting the mismatch between top-down emission reduction policies and local community needs in remote off-grid settings. It underscores the importance of energy justice and context-sensitive policy design, relevant for Arctic and other remote regions worldwide.

📄 Abstract(原文)
There are hundreds of off-grid Indigenous communities across the Arctic that depend on decentralized diesel systems for energy. National- and state-level diesel-reduction policies, aimed at meeting emissions targets, often drive energy transitions in these remote Northern areas. However, achieving meaningful energy transitions in these off-grid Indigenous communities requires deeper understanding of local energy security context, including daily energy experiences and priorities. This chapter examines low carbon energy transitions in remote Northern Indigenous communities, questioning whether policy interventions would be better informed by incorporating local energy experiences. This chapter focuses on four off-grid communities in Northwest Territories, Canada. Despite substantial energy subsidies, affordability remains a primary concern; and high energy costs, particularly for heating, can adversely impact well-being. Community members often supplement primary heat sources with wood to lower heating costs and as a backup during winter power outages. While renewable energy is a priority to community members, this stems from its potential to cut costs and enhance reliability rather than reduce emissions. This chapter concludes that community energy priorities may not align with state-driven emissions reduction goals or energy sovereignty but are instead driven by immediate energy needs.
