Values and priorities
Arts and culture
Norway has a vibrant arts and culture sector. Today, as in the past, many Norwegian artists and other cultural professionals find inspiration beyond Norway’s national borders.
Climate change and the environment
Climate change and environmental damage are two of the most dramatic challenges facing the world today. Many countries are already feeling the effects of climate change. In our part of the world, the changes in the Arctic region are particularly dramatic and worrying.
Energy and marine resources
The growing world population will need more and more food and energy. Sustainable use of marine resources will help to meet this demand.
Norwegian society
Modern Norway is characterised by a high level of welfare, gender equality and economic stability.
