UTSTILLING -

KLIMA FOR ENDRING 2009

Klimaendringene vil ha dramatiske konsekvenser for oss i Norge. Men aller hardest rammes de i fattige land. Denne utstillingen viser hvordan ekstremvær, stigende hav og mangel på ferskvann kan ramme de menneskene som er aller mest sårbare fra før. Å stoppe klimaendringene handler om å sikre disse menneskenes framtid.

ANNUAL REPORT 2008

A presentation of Norges Naturvernforbund’s international project activity in 2008. Our activity covered in 2008 projects on environment, education, energy and climate in 17 countries, most of which in Commonwealth of Independent States, but also in several African countries.

KLIMA FOR ENDRING 2009

Et informasjons- og debatthefte fra Norges Naturvernforbund og Unio om klimaendringene.  Klimaendringene er farlige, urettferdige og allerede i gang. Menneskeskapte utslipp av klimagasser påvirker jordas klima, og gir en global temperaturstigning som er raskere enn naturlig. Dette har dramatiske konsekvenser, og kan true livsgrunnlag og økosystemer over hele verden.

This report shows that there still are illegal landings of cod and haddock coming out of the Barents Sea. The theft of fish in the volumes estimated by the Directorate of Fisheries is
among the most serious economic crimes in Norway.

REPORT ON SMALL-SCALE ENERGY CONSERVATION PROJECTS IN TAJIKISTAN 04/09

This information report describes small-scale energy conservation projects implemented in 2006-2008 by the environmental organization "The little Earth" with support from the Norwegian Society for the Conservation of Nature.

ENERGY EFFICIENT BUILDING METHODS FOR TAJIKISTAN 03/09

This report, “Energy efficient building methods for Tajikistan” has been made by Gaia Architects on commission of The Norwegian environmental NGO Norges Naturvernforbund (NNV). Architect Rolf Jacobsen has been main contributor and architect Arild Berg has been involved through corrections and discussions. NNV is involved in energy saving programs in Tajikistan, and wants to examine and address the possibilities to achieve improvements based on the use of the traditional and natural building methods.

SUSTAINABLE ENERGY SOLUTIONS IN EAST AFRICA 02/09

Norges Naturvernforbund wanted to hear from local NGOs in Uganda, Kenya and Tanzania what experience they have with energy development projects and get their advice for future action. This report is the result of that cooperation.

CLIMATE CHANGE - PROBLEMS AND SOLUTIONS 2009

A large number of serious ecological problems of world scale are connected with the production and use of energy. The idea of the SPARE program is to go from a discussion of global problems to practical actions of schoolchildren, to receive an answer to the question: How can we satisfy our need for energy (heating, light, transport) without dangerous and devastating consequences for nature?

Information about SPARE - International school project on application of resources and energy. The largest international school project on energy, climate and environment.

ENERGY & ENVIRONMENT - TEXTBOOK FOR SECONDARY SCHOOL PROGRAM 2009

This workbook is part of the international educational program for school children SPARE (School Program for Application of Resources and Energy).

EXHIBITION - ARE YOU AS SMART AS THE POLAR BEAR? 2008

Med denne utstillingen vil vi vise deg hvordan du kan hjelpe isbjørnen med å bevare sjøisen, ved å lære av isbjørnens beste egenskap.

TRANSFER OF CLIMATE-FRIENDLY TECHNOLOGIES 06/08

The improvement of living conditions for the poor in developing countries can be combined with combating climate change. The transfer of technology can help to reduce emissions from energy use. This report is focusing on simple, decentralised technologies that cover the basic needs for cooking, lightning and electric appliances. Non-governmental organisations have an important role in the transfer of this type of energy technology.
