A unique look into Norway’s first climate trial, where Natur og Ungdom (Norwegian youth organization for the environment) and Greenpeace sued the Norwegian state for granting oil licenses in the Barents sea.
The people of Norway have a record high level of trust in that the welfare state protects them. At the same time, our livelihoods and the diversity of nature are threatened by global warming. Norway contributes to this as the world’s seventh largest exporter of CO2. The climate lawsuit raises important questions about whether future generations and nature have a legal protection in Norway.
