WORKSHOP
Integrating Indigenous Perspectives and Traditional Knowledge into Closure Planning: Opportunities for Practical Application Workshop
22 September 2025 | Kulturens Hus, Lulea, Sweden
8:30 - 15:00
This workshop will focus on circumpolar examples of climate change and Indigenous participation, but will be globally relevant for mines through good understanding of one context/example. The focus will be on the integration of Indigenous knowledge and perspectives using caribou (reindeer)-specific case studies, including their habitat and migratory patterns, as well as the implications around social closure and opportunities for culturally relevant monitoring programs to support closure and post-closure implementation.
