On November 26, Sindre S. Stixrud and Ragnhild Sollund presented preliminary results and took part in a panel debate at the annual Sami rights symposium dedicated to discussing the green transition. The symposium was divided into two parts, the first part was held in English: Sápmi: Just transition or green colonialism?
Sindre held a presentation about strategies for resistance against the electrification of Melkøya, the Repparfjord coppermine, and other wind turbine projects, based on the fieldwork in Finnmark in the summer of 2025.
