From Nature Crisis to Solutions: Norway's road to the Nature Deal
In CeSAM's interdisciplinary seminar series 2024-2025, we tackle big and small questions at the intersection between nature and politics. We take the Norwegian perspective as our starting point and put an interdisciplinary spotlight on Norway's implementation of the nature agreement. All welcome!
Main content
Nature crisis, nature agreement, nature message, nature panel, nature summit... There is a lot going on, both internationally and in Norway, around nature, nature diplomacy and nature politics these days. Much of this is connected with the fact that the global nature deal (Kunming-Montréal Global Biodiversity Framework) is now being rolled out in countries around the world, including Norway. But how is nature actually doing? Do we have a natural crisis, and if so, what is needed to stop it? And does Norway and the world deliver the policy that is needed? Why (not)? What can and should happen in the future? And how can we influence and contribute?
CeSAM's interdisciplinary seminar series 2024-2025 puts an interdisciplinary spotlight on Norway's implementation of the nature deal. What can we learn about nature and nature policy by analyzing the nature report and the process surrounding it from a nature, culture, society, sustainability and jurisprudence perspective?
In these breakfast seminars, we invite all UiB's researchers, students and staff as well as other interested parties to interdisciplinary replenishment, discussion and engagement! Each seminar is introduced by our experts, but conversation and brainstorming will be an important part of the seminars. The breakfast seminars are held on the first Thursday of each month from 8.30 to 9.30 in UiB's Learning Arena.
There will also be coffee and a bite! Welcome!
