Kyrkans skogsutredning: färre konflikter men mer kan göras

A statement from the Stockholm Environment Institute evaluating the Church of Sweden's forest inquiry, arguing that while the inquiry moves toward sustainable management and respect for indigenous rights, the Church could further strengthen its approach to avoid conflicts between forestry and reindeer husbandry.

• The Church of Sweden's forest inquiry aims for a management model that considers ecological, economic, social, and spiritual factors, which contrasts with current forestry practices that often prioritize short-term economic gain over indigenous rights.
• The potential introduction of the principle of Free, Prior and Informed Consent (FPIC) into the church order for forestry affecting reindeer husbandry is viewed as a positive step toward aligning the Church's land management in Sápmi with international indigenous rights frameworks.
• Sweden is described as lagging behind other nations, such as Canada, in protecting indigenous rights related to forest policy and resource use, specifically regarding the implementation of the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples into national law.
