Energy Transition Week at the Green Office

How is Norway actually progressing in its transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy? What narratives are shaping the debate, and what forces are driving—or slowing down—the shift?

It has the title "ENERGY TRANSITION WEEK" in big, black capitol letters on a background photo of a agricultural landscape with modern wind mills.

What does energy transition actually mean in a Norwegian context – and what stands in the way of it happening? From October 13-17, the Green Office is organizing Energy Transition Week, where we will be focusing on how Norway can move from oil and gas to more sustainable energy sources.

Through lectures, workshops, and panel discussions, we will examine questions such as:

  • Are oil and gas a hindrance, or can they be a springboard for transition?
  • How can capital, knowledge, and labor be moved to where they are needed?
  • What role do the state, business, and society play in ensuring a fair transition?

Join us and explore what the Norwegian energy transition entails and how we can make it happen! Here is an overview of the events. Details about the events will be published on an ongoing basis.
