Norwegian economy appears to be relatively robust

Caspian Energy (EU):  Mr. Eriksen, what hopes do you rest on the UN Climate Change Conference (COP29) and what role do you assign to the oil-producing countries in the upcoming event?

Andreas Bjelland Eriksen, Minister of Climate and Environment of Norway:  I hope for an ambitious outcome that will take us a step closer to achieving the 1.5. degree target. Specifically, we need an outcome that ramps up international financing for the energy transition. We also need to strengthen mitigation ambition and implementation at all levels, and in all processes. This includes, but is not limited to, the mitigation ambition and implementation work programme. I expect all parties to work constructively towards the 1.5 target.
