ARCTIC POPULATION  There live approximately 4 million people, including more than 30 indigenous people eg Chukchi, Nenets, Yakut, Lapps, Eskimos etc.  Activities can be categorized into two groups: 1)Sea ​​ Peoples 2)Elk Peoples  These peoples have lived continuously in the Arctic for thousands of years and are facing major environmental change

NENETS  Samoyed peoples of the North-European and West Siberian tundra and forest tundra.  Population of approximately th.  Traditional areas of activity include reindeer, hunting and fishing.  Today herders still move some animals between winter grounds near the treeline and summer pastures lining the Kara Sea.

 Globalization;  Climate change;  Endangered language and culture;  Small population;  Split-up/dispersion;  Historical influences;  Development of the oil industry.

OIL INDUSTRY AND THE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ON INDIGENOUS PEOPLES  Pollution of rivers;  Deforestation;  Excessive numbers of people;  Nature pollution/contamination;  Global warming;  Reduced fish stocks and fair game multiplicity.  Few suitable pastures for reindeer;  Endangers the lives and culture of indigenous people.

DOES THE CHANGES IN ARCTIC AFFECT US AS WELL?  Yes, if the extent of the projected climate changes continue, this will result in serious consequences for us all.  Less snow cover means that the Earth absorbs more solar energy, and Ocean currents are shifting.  Sea levels will rise.  Climate change affects weather and agricultural production.

IS CLIMATE CHANGE PROVEN?

WHERE DO WE GET OUR ENERGY AND GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSION

SOLUTIONS TO CLIMATE CHANGE AND PEAK OLI  Looking at the top of the oil- it looks rather surrogates - tar sands, pumping beneath the Antarctic, biofuels, coal making to liquid fuel.  If rich countries (including Estonia) will not reduce dependence on oil, the wars for resources will be kept and the climate catastrophe is unavoidable.  When analysing the peak oil and climate change problems together then we should redesign the whole system - low power consumption, enduring and local systems are the only viable future.

 Green construction and renovation, healthier, environmentally friendlier, more energy efficient housing.  Local food - sustainably grown food, home environment, supported by agricultural.  Appropriate technologies, modern and efficient technologies.

It's an action: You can't change the world, but you can change yourself !!!
