The Nordic countries hold significant deposits of rare earth minerals. In this session, Elin will discuss how mineral excavation is regulated in the Nordics and how it relates to local self-determination. The webinar will compare legislation and regulatory approaches across the region and highlight relevant court decisions, including those on the right of the local population and indigenous people to be consulted on or veto the establishment and expansion of mines.
