Increase promotion of First Nation involvement in the alternative energy sector as this would have positive economic impacts in First Nations (by reducing energy costs from more expensive fuel-based energy sources) and would decrease the demand for scarce water resources that would potentially be impacted by climate change (i.e. lower water levels may result because of decreased precipitation and increased evaporation which may affect hydroelectric energy production).
