Norway’s green transition affects Sami culture

A Sami reindeer herder from northern Norway expresses concern over the Norwegian government’s plan to build wind turbines on traditional grazing lands, threatening reindeer migration and Sami culture. Despite historical oppression and the struggle to reclaim rights, the herder fights to protect their way of life against industrial development. The proposed projects risk erasing their livelihood and heritage, leaving future generations with nothing. The herder emphasizes the need for the land to survive climate change rather than exploit it for energy.
