Hydrogen has emerged as a key technology in building a greener future. But even new technologies might be prone to repeating old mistakes, such as being complicit in human rights abuses in the green transition policies. This was one of the takeaways from last week's Nordic Hydrogen Valleys as Energy Hubs Conference. On the other hand, the #hydrogen industry, still in its relative infancy, has the opportunity to mark a departure from the past and proactively take responsibility - especially when governments fail to provide functional legal frameworks, as is the case in the Nordics. We can learn from the past and from current practices that emerge in the absence of functional legal frameworks. SEI's Rasmus Kløcker Larsen shared his knowledge on including local communities in decision making processes based on his research on the Indigenous Sámi lands in the north of Sweden and the ongoing research on negotiated agreements between developers and Sámi reindeer herding communities.
