jokkmokk, sweden - The Sámi people face challenges from climate change and green transition, impacting their traditional way of life.

Traditional Sámi Gathering Under Threat

For centuries, the Sámi people have gathered in northern Sweden, but climate change and green initiatives now endanger their lifestyle. The Jokkmokk market, a historic meeting place, faces disruptions due to unseasonably warm weather, affecting reindeer races. The Sámi, nomadic for over ten thousand years, are struggling as rain and ice prevent reindeer from accessing food. Despite trying to combat climate change, they view the European green transition as a major threat to their culture and land. The rush for rare earth metals and minerals in Sámi territory, driven by the demand for cleaner energy sources, has led to the construction of mines and factories, disrupting reindeer migration routes. This encroachment on Sámi land is denounced as a continuous act of land grabbing, jeopardizing their way of life and health. Experts warn that the fragmentation of the Arctic landscape through industrial development undermines the Earth's cooling system. Sustainability efforts should focus on reducing energy consumption rather than simply replacing fossil fuels with green alternatives. The Sámi's harmonious relationship with nature is cited as a model for sustainable living. Despite the challenges, the annual reindeer race at the Jokkmokk market continues, offering a glimpse of hope amidst uncertain times.
