Indigenous and environmental activists, including Greta Thunberg, blocked access to several Norwegian ministries on Tuesday, expanding a protest to demand the removal of wind turbines from reindeer pastures.
Thunberg, an advocate for ending the world's reliance on carbon-based power, has said governments should not allow the transition to green energy to be at the expense of Indigenous Sami rights.
