Интеграция энергетической и климатической политики в Норвегии в 2015-2021 гг.: причины и результаты

Climate change has become one of the most important political issues in Norway and in the rest of the Western world. As traditionally environmentally conscious society and also one of the largest petroleum producers in the world, Norway faces a paradox: the country that strives to be a leader in the international efforts to address climate crisis, relies on hydrocarbon extraction for its continued economic prosperity. The purpose of this thesis is to investigate how climate policy goals are integrated in Norwegian petroleum policies, which factors have shaped the level of integration, with a specific focus on the role of public debate on the climate and energy governance. The analysis of climate policy integration in Norway shows that climate policy goals have been integrated into the Norwegian petroleum policies only to a limited extent and in specific areas, mainly in the areas of innovation and technology. The level of climate policy integration in Norwegian state petroleum policies remains limited, and the inconsistencies and contradictions between the climate and energy policies have sometimes been ignored. At the same time, there are clear trends for deepening integration and signs for possible future changes.
