Michael participates in “Sharing Sámi Experiences: Indigenous Voices on Climate Intervention Research” side event during UN Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues

It was very exciting to participate in the “Sharing Sámi Experiences: Indigenous Voices on Climate Intervention Research” event at the Permanent Mission of Finland to the United Nations! Many thanks to the Sámi Parliament of Finland, SilverLining, Green Africa Youth Organization (GAYO), and Operaatio Arktis for organizing and for the invitation to speak about climate intervention research. I learned a lot about the role indigenous peoples in general and the Sámi in particular can play in advancing responsible research into climate solutions and the importance of including their perspectives from the start, and I look forward to continuing this important conversation.
