Indigenous values in geothermal decision-making
As geothermal development expands globally as part of low-carbon energy transitions, projects increasingly intersect with Indigenous cultural landscapes and governance rights. In Aotearoa New Zealand and Hawai‘i, geothermal resources are both materially valuable and culturally significant, yet the regulatory systems governing their use differ in how they recognise Indigenous interests. This paper presents a comparative analysis of Māori and Kanak…
An impact assessment and decision support tool for geothermal projects in Aotearoa
In Aotearoa, geothermal resource management requires assessing sustainability trends across environmental, cultural, social, and economic dimensions, as mandated by legislation. While triple-bottom-line approaches are well-established for evaluating environmental, social, and economic impacts, cultural impacts are typically assessed separately. This report introduces a novel decision-support tool that integrates all four dimensions, offering a co…
Indigenous experiences of impact assessment and development projects
How can Indigenous peoples and practitioners engage Impact Assessment as a collaborative learning process that enables communities to affect and influence the design of development projects and their management systems? How to create conversations between Indigenous peoples in order to craft a message/voice in relation to developers? This article summarizes lessons learned from ‘Aashukan’ an Indigenous exchange organized on James Bay Cree lands, …
Māori values in geothermal management and development
When Māori arrived at Aotearoa (New Zealand), they enjoyed an exclusive relationship with their country’s geothermal resources, which they valued spiritually and physically. After European settlement, this relationship was no longer exclusive, and Māori thereafter held spiritual, physical, and additionally, political values towards geothermal resources in their attempt to remain relevant in Aotearoa’s geothermal industry. In recent history, these…
Towards best-practice inclusion of cultural indicators in decision making by Indigenous peoples
Culturally Grounded Indicators of Resilience in Social-Ecological Systems
Measuring progress toward sustainability goals is a multifaceted task. Inter- national, regional, and national organizations and agencies seek to promote resilience and capacity for adaptation at local levels. However, their measurement systems may be poorly aligned with local contexts, cultures, and needs. Understanding how to build effective, culturally grounded measurement systems is a fundamental step toward supporting adaptive management and…
Concept Alignment for Sustainability
Asmat is located in the delta area of Southern Papua, the easternmost part of Indonesia. The culture of the indigenous people of this area, the Asmat, is focused on sustaining balance in the universe: Asmat believe in a connection between humans, their environment and the spirit of the environment. This article aims to determine the feasibility of transferring a decision-making framework created specifically for the Aotearoa New Zealand context t…
Identifying Commonalities between Indigenous Values and Current Sustainable Design Concepts in Aotearoa New Zealand
Urbanization creates impervious surfaces which reduce natural hydrologic functions and result in channel erosion, loss of property and habitat degradation. Sustainable design and management adopts a more holistic approach to conventional methods. Various techniques for sustainable management are Low Impact Development (LID), Water Sensitive Urban Design (WSUD) and Low Impact Urban Design and Development (LIUDD). Regardless of terminology, the int…
Thinking Globally but Acting Locally
Waiora and Cultural Identity
The New Zealand Government's Freshwater for a sustainable future (2004a) discussion paper raises the need for an effective process for the inclusion of Māori input on water management issues. Few processes have been developed specifically for Aotearoa/New Zealand. In Aotearoa/New Zealand, for Māori communities, a more appropriate level of resource management decision making is at the hapū (sub-tribe) level and it is here that input from Māori com…
