The world’s attention is increasingly turning to the ocean to meet the world’s food and energy needs. At the same time, the ocean is experiencing the global crises of rapid climate change, high-level biodiversity loss, and widespread pollution. In 2018, former Prime Minister Erna Solberg launched the High Level Panel for a Sustainable Ocean Economy. This has in time ensured that Norway has taken a powerful leadership role in the international effort to ensure sustainable use of the ocean. But are we on track to reach the international – and our own national – sustainable development goals?
