dc.description.abstractCanada has experienced an increase in the frequency of extreme weather events in recent times. Energy transition offers a potential solution to mitigating these climatic effects. However, several factors influence energy transition in a community. This research sought to investigate factors influencing energy transition in a local community by conducting a case study of Hinton, Alberta. The research also sought to compare community sentiments observed in this study to the communication and transition policy recommendations of the Alberta Narrative Project (ANP). This study found that economic, governmental, social, and overlapping factors, both negatively and positively, influenced energy transition in the community, while environmental factors drive energy transition. Additionally, study sentiments were similar to the ANP’s communication and transition policy recommendations. This study’s findings can be applied in developing and implementing energy transition policies and developments that are more applicable and suitable for communities in Alberta.
