Core offering

Norsk klimastiftelse functions as Norway's green think tank, producing and disseminating research-based climate policy analysis, reports, journalism, and events. Its core offerings include the tilnull.no climate tracking portal with quarterly transition reports, the Energi og Klima online news outlet, the <2°C research communication project, the Klimaråd independent climate council assessments, and recurring event series such as Klimafrokost and Petropraten. All outputs are provided free of charge, funded by diversified contributions from foundations, businesses, and public entities.

Product overview

Norsk klimastiftelse is Norway's green think tank, functioning as a non-commercial research and knowledge dissemination organization rather than a traditional product company. The organization operates an integrated portfolio of knowledge products: the climate portal tilnull.no serves as the central hub for tracking Norway's zero-emission progress through quarterly transition reports; the <2°C project conducts climate communication aimed at broad public audiences; the Energi og Klima news outlet provides ongoing climate and energy journalism; the Klimafrokost and Petropraten event series facilitate knowledge sharing and debate; and Klimaråd provides independent expert assessments of Norwegian climate policy with concrete recommendations. Additional projects focus on municipal energy transition (Kommunenes rolle), elected official education (Folkevalgt-webinarer), Norwegian oil policy analysis, and climate-finance alignment. All offerings are free public goods focused on research-based climate policy insight rather than commercial products or services.

Direct peers

Comparable as a mission-driven non-profit producing research-based climate-policy analysis with policy engagement, though operating at global rather than purely Norwegian scale.
• Bellona Foundation: Norwegian environmental NGO working on climate, energy transition, and industrial decarbonization. Direct peer operating in Norway on overlapping climate-and-energy policy issues with a similar ecosystem of reports, policy engagement, and event programming.
• Stockholm Environment Institute (SEI): Independent research organization focused on environment and sustainable development policy. Comparable to Norsk klimastiftelse as a non-profit delivering policy research and convening on climate transition, with Nordic regional footprint and broader international scope.
• Ember: Independent climate think tank focused on the global electricity transition and fossil-fuel phase-out. Comparable as a non-profit producing data-driven climate analysis and policy briefs on the energy transition.
• CICERO (Center for International Climate Research): Norway's leading climate research center producing policy-relevant climate science and assessments. Direct peer as a Norwegian non-profit research organization focused on climate-policy analysis, mitigation pathways, and NDC support, targeting similar Norwegian and international policymakers.

Emerging players

• Climate Focus: International climate-policy advisory and consulting firm supporting public and private sector decarbonization. Partially comparable in climate-policy focus but commercially oriented rather than foundation-funded.

Regional players

• NHH Norwegian School of Economics – Sustainability / Climate Research: Norwegian academic institution partner publishing climate and sustainability research. Comparable as part of the same Norwegian academic/research ecosystem feeding into the foundation's Klimaråd network rather than as a direct peer competitor.
