Project Details

Description

This proposal is, therefore, guided by the overall question - what are the likely future impacts and adaptation possibilities for small-scale primary resource users in Greenland and Northern Sweden and Norway in the face of climate and biodiversity change?
Focus is on traditional Inuit hunters and small-scale fishers in Greenland, Saami reindeer herders in northern Sweden and Norway and the coastal Saami in the Porsanger Fjord in Norway, but in the context of broader interests and commercial
operations.
