Indigenous Sami Culture Faces Challenges Amid Sweden's Green Energy Movement

Credited from: FOREIGNPOLICY

  • The Sami people, Europe’s last Indigenous population, have lived in northern Sweden for thousands of years, relying on reindeer herding.
  • Green-energy initiatives, such as wildlife-friendly wind farms and mining operations, are increasingly encroaching on Sami lands, threatening their traditions and lifestyle.
  • The term "green colonialism" is used by the Sami to describe the adverse effects of resource exploitation disguised as sustainable development.
  • Despite international attention, the Swedish government prioritizes energy projects that compromise Indigenous rights, often without sufficient protections.
  • Advocacy from the Sami Council and global environmental groups highlights the urgent need for a more ethical approach to development that respects Indigenous rights.
