In Norway, procedures for consultation between the central government and indigenous communities are constituted under international law and facilitated through the Sámediggi: an elected assembly that represents the Sami in Norway. The Environmental Information Act, implementing the Aarhus Convention, constitutes that public participation is required for environment-related decision making: including the Climate Change Act, and as such, the Norwegian Government must consult with the Sámediggi on processes that may affect them, including the NDC update.
