Vi är i Arendal, på Norges motsvarighet till Almedalsveckan som sponsras av oljebolaget Equinor 😱.
Norge är Europas största producent av olja och har ingen plan för utfasning, trots att vi är mitt i en klimatkatastrof.

Takk til XR - budskapet bør gå rett hjem hos Ap.
Vi trenger en rettferdig plan for omstillingen fra fossilt til fornybart, så markedet ikke kaster titusenvis av oljearbeidere ut i arbeidsledighet når etterspørselen forsvinner!
