National report on the regulatory system of environmental and energy policies: Norway

An extract from Deliverable 3.2 “National reports on the regulatory system of environmental and energy policies”

This national report explores the evolution and governance of environmental and energy policies (EEPs) in Norway, with a specific focus on their intersections with housing policies. It is part of the ReHousIn project, which investigates how green and digital transitions affect housing inequalities across European contexts. Focusing on three major policy domains – retrofitting, densification, and nature-based solutions (NBS) – the report assesses policy frameworks, implementation mechanisms, and potential social impacts, particularly in relation to housing affordability and inclusion.
