Thursday, January 19th at 3:30 pm: Bad climate on Svalbard
The documentary film The Visitors addresses some of the most central and controversial questions regarding Norwegian Svalbard policy today. Who is allowed to live on the archipelago? Who is allowed to decide in local politics? Why do non-Norwegians feel like strangers in a place where they should basically have the same rights as "ethnic" Norwegians?
We invite you to a conversation with Veronika Lišková, director of the film, Kim Holmén, Specialist Director of the Norwegian Polar Institute and Sigrid Ina Simonsen, Regional Director NHO about climate change, geopolitics, everyday life on Svalbard and the dilemma the Norwegian authorities are facing: What will Oslo do if there is no longer a Norwegian majority population on the archipelago? Amund Trellevik, journalist at Investigate Europe, is the moderator.
This event is held in English.
