What will happen to Sámi reindeer herding in the light of the report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) on climate change in the North?

While the Association of World Reindeer Herders (WRH) is pleased that the IPCC, established by UNEP and the WMO, are taking the issue of climate change in the North seriously, we are extremely concerned that the very basis of livelihoods in the Arctic is threatened by global warming, both economicially and culturally. The WRH Yakutsk Declaration of 2005 makes pointed reference to this. In Norway, inner Finnmark is likely to experience the most serious impacts from global warming over the next 30-50 years. It is predicted that the average winter temperature will increase 0.7 degrees C every decade. Precipitation may increase by 10 %, and vegetation will change, influencing the very basis for reindeer husbandry. Predicted climate change patterns include rapid fluctuations in temperature throughout the course of Winter, alternating between frost and milder weather

Reindeer Husbandry

This open access book focuses on climate change, Indigenous reindeer husbandry, and the underlying concept of connecting the traditional knowledge of Indigenous reindeer herders in the Arctic with the latest research findings of the world’s leading academics. The Arctic and sub-Arctic environment, climate, and biodiversity are changing in ways unprecedented in the long histories of the north, challenging traditional ways of life, well-being, and food security with legitimate concerns for the future of traditional Indigenous livelihoods. The book provides a clear and thorough overview of the potential problems caused by a warming climate on reindeer husbandry and how reindeer herders’ knowledge should be brought to action. In particular, the predicted impacts of global warming on winter climate and the resilience of the reindeer herding communities are thoroughly discussed

Reindeer Husbandry - Adaptation to the Changing Arctic, Volume 1

Reindeer Husbandry: Adaptation to the Changing Arctic, Volume 1 is the first of two books published by Springer Nature. This first book consists of ten peer-reviewed chapters with each chapter reviewed by two to six renowned international researchers and scientists. The authors express their immense gratitude to the reviewers and deeply acknowledge their unique contribution. This book addresses the critical issue faced by Indigenous peoples in the Arctic: climate change, the ways in which it affects their societies and livelihoods, environment, and economies. It is important that all available forms of knowledge – academic, traditional, Indigenous, and local – are included when addressing the adaptation and resilience of reindeer husbandry in the Circumpolar North. The two volumes provide novel insights into the Arctic Indigenous reindeer herding communities and how resilience can be built locally through the use of traditional knowledge and co-production
