Last week faith communities from the Barents region came together in Oulo, Finland, and the theme where climate change. The Arctic region will face the impact of climate change in many ways. What will happen if the natural resources like oil can be exploited if the ice cap will melt around the pole? What will happen to communities if the maritime traffic will expand due to ice free summers? Can den Sami people still hold reindeer's? And will the interests in natural resources from different nations create a more tensed relation between the Arctic states?
The faith communities expressed their concern and hopefully they could respond to the urgency of the situation.
