#Norway agrees to compensate #IndigenousPeople over land for Europe's largest onshore #WindFarm

"The wind farm fought against by #GretaThunberg will keep operating with compensation paid to #Sami reindeer herders.

"Norway on Wednesday reached an agreement with the Sami people, ending a nearly three-year dispute over Europe’s largest onshore wind farm and the #Indigenous right to raise reindeer.

"Under the agreement, the partially state-owned farm's 151 turbines stay in operation. Energy Minister Terje Aasland said the deal includes 'a future-oriented solution that safeguards the reindeer farming rights.'

"The agreement also has compensation for the Sami - including a share of energy produced - along with a new area for winter grazing and a grant of 5 million kroner (€439,000) for strengthening Sami culture."
