Norway is a country with a deep connection to nature and the environment. From its snow-capped mountains and ancient forests to its stunning network of fjords, this is a country defined by its natural beauty. Norwegian people too, have a deep respect for their environment.\u00a097% of plastic bottles<\/a>\u00a0sold here are recycled, and by market share, Norway is by far the\u00a0biggest adopter<\/a>\u00a0of electric cars in the world.<\/p>\n

But Norway is also a massive\u00a0exporter of oil.<\/p>\n

While the rest of the world is joining forces to battle the climate crisis and to end the age of fossil fuel dependency, the Norwegian government continues to explore and drill for more oil. This is not only unconscionable in the midst of a climate emergency, but we\u2019re also convinced that it\u2019s not legal according to the Norwegian constitution.<\/p>\n

You might remember that in 2017\u00a0Greenpeace Nordic and our co-plaintiffs,\u00a0Nature and Youth<\/a>,\u00a0took the Norwegian government to court. This year, we\u2019re appealing the case.<\/p>\n

We won\u2019t give up the fight to keep Norwegian oil in the ground. And this is why.<\/p>\n

1. It conflicts with Norway\u2019s Constitution and the Paris Agreement<\/b><\/h4>\n
\"People<\/p>\n

Article 112 of the Norwegian constitution states:<\/p>\n

\u201cEvery person has the right to an environment that is conducive to health and to a natural environment whose productivity and diversity are maintained.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Drilling for oil is clearly incompatible with this fundamental right.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, continued oil drilling is in direct contravention of the Paris Climate Accord, of which Norway is a signatory.<\/p>\n

2. Out of sight, out of mind \u2013 Norwegian oil is burned outside its borders<\/b><\/h4>\n

The government has adopted an out of sight, out of mind philosophy, where they argue that they are not responsible for the emissions from the oil they drill, because the oil is not burned in Norway.<\/p>\n

But no matter where oil is burned, it fuels climate change.<\/p>\n

This is the essence of the Norwegian oil problem \u2013\u00a0 Norway is an oil giant and the\u00a07th biggest exporter of climate-wrecking emissions on the planet<\/b><\/a>, yet it refuses to take responsibility for its role in the global climate emergency and its commitment to the Paris Agreement.<\/p>\n

3. We\u2019ve already found more oil than we can afford to burn<\/b><\/h4>\n
\"Protest<\/p>\n

We are at a critical point in history. What we already see unfolding is a climate crisis. But companies like Norwegian Equinor are\u00a0still<\/i>\u00a0exploring for new oil, literally drilling us deeper and deeper into this crisis. The\u00a0science says<\/a>:\u00a0we have already found more oil than we can afford to burn.<\/p>\n

4. Climate change is made in Norway<\/b><\/h4>\n
\"Forest<\/p>\n

Extreme weather events are becoming larger and more difficult to control and predict. In 2019,\u00a0hurricane Dorian<\/a>\u00a0spread death and destruction over the Bahamas, while\u00a0unprecedented wildfires devastated\u00a0large parts of Siberia<\/a>, the\u00a0Amazon<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Indonesia<\/a>, threatening lives and destroying the very forests that help mitigate the worst effects of the climate breakdown.<\/p>\n

Norway, one of the richest countries in the world, can no longer ignore that its role as a major oil and gas producer is contributing to the death and destruction which is hitting vulnerable communities the hardest.<\/p>\n

5. We have to fight for climate justice\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

\"The<\/p>\n

With this historic lawsuit, a new generation is stepping up to hold the politicians accountable and stop oil companies from destroying our future. A win in court would mean that these drilling plans get cancelled, potentially preventing the pollution from millions of barrels of oil, and this could also set a precedent to stop other illegal fossil fuel projects.<\/p>\n

This case is part of a wave of people stepping up for the climate, and right now there are more than\u00a0600 active climate lawsuits<\/a>\u00a0\u2013 charging governments and corporations \u2013 in 28 countries.<\/p>\n

What would you say to the governments and oil companies\u00a0who are justifying their climate-wrecking actions with absurd excuses?\u00a0Support the case by adding your name as evidence in court and writing a statement<\/a>.\u00a0Speak your heart. We\u2019ll use your writing to make our case even stronger.<\/p>\n
