Energy Development on Indigenous Lands Seminar- October 2019
This seminar was organized by the TriArc and IndGov projects on the interaction between industry and indigenous peoples, with a special emphasis on green energy development. The seminar took place October 14th at The Fram Centre – the High North Research Centre for Climate and the Environment.
Recent conflicts around the national framework for wind power development in valuable nature areas in Norway has put the spotlight on the difficult balance between combating climate change and protection of biodiversity. In the case of reindeer husbandry and other indigenous land use, the new green power developments also represent additional pressure on already strained pastures and resources.
The workshop facilitated dialogue and mutual learning between scientific expertise and reindeer husbandry, with a special emphasis on learning from relevant Swedish cases. A workshop in Norwegian with reindeer districts in Troms County and invited stakeholders took place after the seminar.
