CC9: Climate conference

Green Technology and Finance – Striking a Fair Climate Deal

The objective of CC9 is to contribute to the conclusion of a fair climate agreement by advancing the potential of green technology and adequate funding. Investing in the development and diffusion of green technologies and renewable energy is a sustainable way to stimulate the economy and create new jobs - sustainable economic growth that can reinforce efforts to combat climate change while respecting development needs.

The conference will take place on 4 and 5 June at Hafslund Manor in Sarpsborg, Norway. It will be followed by a climate festival for children in the adjacent park on 6 June.

The Bellona Foundation, the Club of Madrid and the utility company Hafslund ASA joined forces to organize this top level climate conference.
