The People vs Arctic Oil: Historic Lawsuit against Arctic Oil in Oslo

An unprecedented legal case is filed against the Norwegian government for allowing oil companies to drill for new oil in the Arctic Barents Sea. The plaintiffs, Nature and Youth and Greenpeace Nordic, argue that Norway thereby violates the Paris Agreement and the people's constitutional right to a healthy and safe environment for future generations. The lawsuit has the support of a wide group of scientists, indigenous leaders, activists and public figures.

Ingrid Skjoldvær head of Nature and Youth
Truls Gulowsen, head of Greenpeace Norway
Audrey Siegl, First Nations artist and activist from Canada
Niillas Beaska, Sámi politician
