Climate Change and the Arctic Discourses
Publikation: Bidrag til bog/antologi/rapport › Konferenceabstrakt i proceedings › Forskning
It is now a fact that global warming and climate change are on the public agenda and will remain there for a long time to come. The Arctic has been portrayed as a thermometer for the world mostly because it is very vulnerable to the climatic changes and the subsequent consequences. Inuit are used as an example and included as the first witnesses to ‘the big catastrophe'. My hypothesis is that the newly emerging climate debate can establish an unexpected and unique political platform where Inuit can get influence on local as well as global questions. My investigating focus concerning these matters are politics, risk and cultural discourses.
