This seminar focusses on drivers behind, consequences of and management strategies to handle increasing pressure on land in the Swedish Arctic. Industries such as mining, forestry, and wind power compete for their part of the energy transformation demanded by climate change, with potentially very severe consequences for reindeer husbandry and other local nature-based industries.
Anna-Maria Fjellström (SU) “The politics of practice: Sami reindeer herding in environmental policies”
Irina Mancheva and Therese Bjärstig (UmU): “Land-use synergies and/or conflicts in large-scale wind power establishments?”
Sara Moritz (SU) ”Mining in Sweden - Local understandings of the extractivist welfare state”
Anna Zachrisson (UmU): “What explains local attitudes to mining establishments?”
