Differences in Snowy Winters Are Becoming Increasingly Large Due to Climate Change – and This Is Challenging Lapland Tourism

Lapland's industries, such as tourism, will have to adapt and may be at risk as winters get colder. A recent report has compiled information on climate change in Lapland.

The Finnish Meteorological Institute illustrates the effects of climate change in Lapland in the 2050s through the Kärtty reindeer. What is it like to be a reindeer in the 2050s? In the story included in the Finnish Meteorological Institute's report published on Wednesday, the Kärtty reindeer reflects on how spring in Lapland will arrive earlier than before in the 2050s and snow will more often turn into rain in the middle of winter.
