SCAR PLACE
Access to resources is of strategic importance to Europe's goal of achieving the Green Deal and becoming less dependent on foreign sources. Since then, an unprecedented hunt for raw material deposits in Europe has begun. Sweden is one of the countries with rich deposits of, among others, iron, copper and graphite in the north of the country. Swedish and foreign companies alike are competing for concessions to open new mines for those so called critical raw materials. This is not without consequences for the local population, including Europe's last indigenous people, the Sámi. This is a series of interviews with affected people in the area around Kiruna, Sweden's northernmost city.
