Ser fram til inspirerende dager i Kenya som ledsager til H.K.H kronprins Haakon og en stor norsk delegasjon. Å bevare naturen, klima- og biologisk mangfold er viktige temaer i begge land. Karura-skogen ble vernet av Wangari Maathai, i dag plantet vi trær med datteren hennes.
For the first time in modern history we might be facing a situation where there will not be produced enough food to feed the world.
To improve food security for the poorest, sustainable fisheries have a key role to play.

Education must be part of the climate solution. A clear message from the thought-provoking Civil Society seminar at Lillehammer just now. A dynamic kick-off for Education Cannot Wait's discussions
Every year, millions of people are forced to leave their homes because of floods, tropical storms, droughts and other natural hazards. Norway stands committed in supporting climate adaptation, risk reduction and climate resilient food production. We must all step up our efforts.
Grateful to

Youth must be meaningfully involved in climate issues, both in negotiations and in development of national climate policies.
Female genital mutilation is a serious form of violence that no girl or woman should be subjected to. In 2024, an alarming 4.4 million girls worldwide face the risk of undergoing FGM. Norway will continue to support efforts to end this harmful practice.
With a number of complex crises and increasing funding needs, how can we reengage the public again? We need to build bridges, not fences to help the world’s developing countries and demonstrate why this is also in our own interest. Very interesting discussion,
