NATUR OG UNGDOM

Natur og Ungdom is a significant force in the environmental and climate movement among youths in Norway. With over 5300 members aged 13-25, they strive to give young people a strong voice in societal debates and real influence on politics. Through projects, campaigns, lobbying, and advocacy, they drive the work towards a more sustainable world.

​

In March 2023, they joined forces with Norwegian oil workers through the union Industriaksjonen to launch the 'Ten Commandments for Green Industry.' This agreement establishes principles for an inclusive transition to a green economy that benefits workers and communities, both locally and globally.

​

Historically, these two grassroots movements –the environmental movement and the labour movement – have been set against each other in the climate debate. Through the “Ten Commandments for Green Industry”, they provide a shining example of how, instead of giving in to destructive polarisation, we should promote respectful dialogue and create new alliances for a more sustainable future.

​

Natur og Ungdom stands as a symbol of young leadership and as a driving force for change towards a more sustainable future. Through their commitment and ability to bridge the gap between different interests, they show the way for how collective action can create a better world, serving as a shining example of inclusive transition processes. Therefore, Natur og Ungdom is awarded the WIN WIN Youth Award 2024.
