导论挪威和中国的少数民族和原住民传统上多聚居于自然资源富集区,因而也是两国资源开发及经济发展重点地区。与自然资源密切相关的经济开发活动在这些传统地区的实施,必然会在不同程度上对这些地区居民及其自然环境及经济状况产生一定冲击。当地传统居民,包括少数民族和原住民的权利也将或多或少受到影响。 Introduction Minorities and Indigenous peoples in Norway and China have traditionally been concentrated in natural resource-rich areas and are therefore also key areas for resource development and economic development in both countries. The implementation of economic development activities closely related to natural resources in these traditional regions will inevitably impact to some extent residents and their natural environment and economic conditions in these regions. The rights of local traditional inhabitants, including ethnic minorities and indigenous peoples, will also be affected more or less.
