Campaigners demanding the dismantling of one of Europe’s largest wind farms claimed support from global climate activist Greta Thunberg as they blockaded Norway’s energy ministry in Oslo.

Thunberg was pictured at the Norwegian Oil & Energy Ministry amid days of protest by supporters of the indigenous Sami community, whose leaders are involved in a long-running dispute over Statkraft’s 1GW Fosen Vind project.
