The Arc | Climate Justice in the Arctic: Part 1

August 16, 2024

In this episode of The Arc, ECSP’s Claire Doyle and Angus Soderberg interview Gunn-britt Retter, Head of the Arctic and Environmental Unit at the Saami Council, in part one of three episodes focused on climate justice in the Arctic. We dive into Gunn-britt’s background and her work on the Saami Council. She outlines how climate change is impacting the livelihoods and daily lives of the Saami people and how even our responses to climate change can threaten Indigenous rights and land use. She also makes the case for a fundamental reexamination of our relationship with nature to make progress on addressing climate change.
