"We will study how climate change and changes in tourism can impact nature, the environment, and Sami livelihoods," says Kristin Rosendal, senior researcher at Fridtjof Nansens Institutt and leader of the Norwegian part of the new ALAMOT project. The project, funded by NordForsk, brings together researchers from Norway, Sweden and Finland to explore how legislation and governance frameworks can be adapted to safeguard Arctic biodiversity and Indigenous ways of life. It aims to provide concrete policy recommendations to better balance environmental protection and Sami rights.
