Saami youth joined to People’s Climate Case event in Munich

Sanna, Rebecka, Julia, and Martina, are all members of Sáminuorra,  the Saami Youth Association in Sweden. In May 2018,  together with 10 families, the youth organisation they are representing has filed a court case against the European Union to protect their fundamental rights from the worsening impacts of climate change.

The strength, determination, and creativity that these 4 young woman show in their fight against climate change stand testament for the knowledge and wealth of experience of indigenous people. In an event on 10 November 2018, hosted by Protect the Planet in Munich, they shared their first hand experiences on how the Saami youth is impacted by climate change.
