This week Greta Thunberg joined the protests in Norway against wind farms that power 100,000 Norwegian households but operate on land used by Indigenous Sámi reindeer herders. The community asserts that the flickering of the turbine blades and the noise they create cause distress to reindeer. Importantly, in 2021 Norway’s Supreme Court ruled that these farms violated Sámi rights under international conventions. Greta noted: “Indigenous rights, human rights, must go hand-in-hand with climate protection and climate action. That can’t happen at the expense of some people. Then it is not climate justice in Norway.”
