Arthur Bledsoe is a senior analyst on the Renewables in Remote Communities team based in Vancouver. Arthur's recent work has focused on the implementation of UNDRIP / DRIPA in the energy sector, regulatory reform to support clean energy development and diesel reduction, and Indigenous leadership in the energy transition. Arthur's work brings together perspectives from First Nations, utilities, regulatory experts, and government bureaucrats to identify practical avenues for policy reform that respect Indigenous rights, increase community self-sufficiency, and step remote community energy systems closer to energy sovereignty for First Nations.
Arthur holds a Master of Public Policy and Global Affairs from the University of British Columbia and a Bachelor of Engineering from Dartmouth College. Arthur's commitment to clean energy policy and Indigenous rights stems from his passion for being in nature, preferably pedaling his mountain bike or paddling his canoe.
