ABSTRACT
In Chapter 6, Chris Southcott reviews the role of the social economy in Nunavut, Canada. The social economy is made up of organisations in the not-for-profit sector that seek to enhance the social, cultural, health, economic, and environmental conditions of communities. These organisations continue to be an important part of Nunavut’s effort to resist an overdependence on extractive resource development in the region. While extractive resource industries will continue to be an important part of the Nunavut economy, this chapter offers direction for how communities can leverage those resource revenues to hasten the transition to renewable economic development opportunities.
