Local Euro MP, Diana Wallis, met the President of the Sami Council, Ms. Aili Keskitalo, in Oslo recently.

Diana Wallis, the President of the European Parliament's delegation to Norway, said after the meeting:

"The Sami people along with other indigenous groups in the Arctic are in the frontline as far as climate change is concerned. It is important to hear from these peoples just how climate change is affecting their often fragile livelihoods."

The Sami Parliament has 43 representatives of which 51 per cent are women. This is thought to be a record for any legislature in the world.
