SUMMARY:NORSIL Workshop 2020
LOCATION:Tromsø\, Norway
DESCRIPTION:Following our first edition in May 2019, the NORSIL network is pleased to i
 nvite for its second workshop on the rights of the Sámi people in the Nordi
 c sustainable transition that will be organised in Tromsø on January 9 and 
 10, 2020.\nIn 2015, the Nordic countries announced support as a whole for t
 he Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) agreed under UN auspices. The goals
  aim to eradicate extreme poverty and to achieve sustainable development in
  all fields while leaving no one behind. Yet, numerous problems are still l
 imiting the inclusion of the Sámi people in the sustainable transition of t
 he countries of Finland, Norway and Sweden. Despite the recognition of thei
 r rights at the national and international levels, there are still importan
 t concerns regarding the implementation of their rights on the ground. Whil
 e adopting a human rights based-approach to sustainable development, this w
 orkshop series provides a platform to assess and measure the progress and c
 hallenges towards the implementation of the rights of the Sámi people in or
 der to promote a sustainable and inclusive transition in the Nordic countri
 es\nFor its second event, the workshop will discuss ways and means to evalu
 ate the progress and obstacles concerning the inclusion of Sámi peoples wit
 hin the Nordic transition. In this context, questioning what rights, knowle
 dge and data matter to ensure the inclusion of the Sámi people in the susta
 inable transition is crucial. Without a proper acknowledgment of their righ
 ts, respect for their traditional knowledge and reliable information on the
 ir economic and social conditions, the Sámi people can easily be neglected 
 in decision-making concerning them, their discrimination forgotten and thei
 r resources needs overlooked or discounted. In this regard, interested acad
 emics and practitioners, senior and junior as well as Sámi representatives 
 and individuals are invited to submit abstracts addressing the following su
 ggested topics:\n– Sustainable Development Goals and Sámi rights\n– Indicat
 ors and targets to ensure Sámi sustainability\n– Progress and shortcoming i
 n acknowledging Sámi rights\n– Political and legislative obstacles to colle
 ction of data on Sámi people\n– Sámi traditional knowledge and its importan
 ce for promoting Sámi sustainability\n– …\nThe deadline for abstract submis
 sion is October 15, 2019.\nMore information on NORSIL website (https://blog
