Norwegian Oil and Gas Transition: Building Bridges Towards a Carbon-Neutral Future

The report examines the sustainability of Norway's reliance on the oil and gas sector in the context of global emissions targets and a net-zero future beyond 2050. It analyzes the political debate surrounding the 2021 general election, the positions of industry associations and trade unions, and the economic risks of maintaining the fossil fuel sector as a pillar of the Norwegian economy.

• There is an increasing incompatibility between global emissions reduction targets required to stabilize climate change and the continued extraction of fossil fuels, which is shifting the political and business discourse in Norway.
• Relying on the fossil fuel sector as a primary pillar of Norway's economy and society is considered unsustainable in the long run if the world is to reach net-zero after 2050, presenting significant risks for decision makers.
