I'm not an expert in defense and security, not sure which of the minarals Norway has and specifically thoise that we cover in the report are relevant for the defense industry. For me the tradeoff is more between the global goal of protecting the climate and local environmental concerns

🌱 The report makes a number of concrete policy recommendations, including stronger policy coordination, increased funding for innovation, and streamlined regulations. Only then can the EU-Norway Green Alliance achieve its ambitious goals. #PolicyRecommendations #GreenFuture

🏗️ Critical minerals are essential for green tech, and Norway has vast resources, but mining policies are not keeping up and societal opposition will hold it back. Red tape and local environmental opposition slow down development, and the global importance is not highlighted #CriticalMinerals

🔋 Norway’s potential in the battery industry is significant, yet underutilized. The lack of a cohesive national strategy and insufficient investment in R&D are major roadblocks and we are already seen the flight of companies because of international competition #BatteryIndustry #Innovation

🌍 The EU-Norway Green Alliance aims high, but faces significant challenges. Regulatory misalignment and differing priorities between the EU and Norway hinder progress in the critical minerals and battery sectors. #GreenAlliance #Sustainability

🏛️ The STRN and Energy-PPG networks represent thousands of researchers advocating for the integration of SSH in energy research to achieve a sustainable and just future. The letter was signed by over 300 researchers from 35 countries #ResearchCommunity #Sustainability #EuropeanGreenDeal

🌍 “The most important scientific body related to climate change research – the IPCC – has recently turned more to the social sciences, beyond economics,” notes Prof. Caroline Kuzemko, co-chair of Energy-PPG. #ClimateScience #SocialSciences @ipcc.bsky.social

🌱 “Systemic changes require social as well as technical changes, and they are deeply intertwined,” explains STRN's Dr. Florian Kern #TransitionStudies #EnergyPolicy #JustTransition

🤝 The letter calls for dedicated SSH research calls in future programs to support the European Green Deal. Endorsed by major research networks, it aims to integrate SSH into energy and decarbonization research. #EUResearch #SustainableFuture

🔍 Key points include addressing political feasibility, accelerating transition processes, ensuring a just transition, informing industrial policy, enhancing public engagement, and considering ethical implications. #ClimateAction #Research

📝 The open letter highlights the critical role of social sciences in achieving the European Green Deal’s goals, emphasizing the need for systemic changes that are both social and technical. #GreenDeal #SocialSciences

@ecpr.bsky.social Energy Politics, Policy & Governance (Energy-PPG) research network, Sustainability Transitions Research Network (STRN) & European Roundtable on Sustainable Consumption & Production (ERSCP) urge @ec.europa.eu to enhance support for social science energy research in Horizon Europe

I am aware of all that, what I am trying to say is that we don't need to assume farmers' views switched, it's just as likely that the proclimate ones, who also benefit from the Energiewende, and the ones protesting and supporting AfD are simply different people being mobilized by different messages
