Climate, food, environment and energy

Norwegian development aid supports the sustainable use of natural resources through initiatives that strengthen biodiversity, local communities, and business development, as well as combating environmental crime. At the same time, these efforts contribute to climate adaptation, lower emissions, and improved access to clean energy.
