A Network for Urban Sustainability
Oslo Green Belt
The Oslo Green Belt is a growing network connecting organizations across Oslo and Akershus through a shared commitment to environmental responsibility and sustainable urban development.
A Shared Commitment
The Oslo Green Belt is built through participation. Institutions, companies, schools, embassies, and other organizations can become part of a growing network that takes responsibility for the green environments around them. Join the Oslo Green Belt and become part of a shared commitment to a greener, more sustainable Oslo and Akershus.
Royal Gardens Program
For institutions, embassies, and companies.
Through the Royal Gardens Program, organizations participate in the Oslo Green Belt by maintaining their gardens and outdoor environments according to environmentally responsible practices.
Kongedugnad
For schools and educational communities.
Kongedugnad connects children, families, and schools with nature through practical environmental activities and educational initiatives that promote sustainability and responsibility.
Institutional Spaces
Institutional and corporate spaces play an important role in the urban environment by contributing to biodiversity, environmental awareness, and the quality of our surroundings.
Sustainable Practices
Participants in the Oslo Green Belt embrace environmentally responsible practices that support sustainability, biodiversity, responsible resource use, and long-term ecological balance.
A Growing Network
The Oslo Green Belt continues to grow as institutions, companies, embassies, schools, and other organizations join a shared commitment to sustainability and responsible development.
Environmental Stewardship
Together, participants contribute to a greener urban environment through greater environmental awareness, responsible practices, and thoughtful use of natural resources.
A Living Network Across Oslo and Akershus
The Oslo Green Belt grows through the participation of organizations that take responsibility for the environment around them. As the network develops, participating organizations can be mapped across the region, creating a visible representation of the collective effort to strengthen and sustain a greener urban environment.
Each location becomes a point within the Green Belt. Together, these points form a connected network of environmental responsibility, helping strengthen and sustain greener, more resilient communities across the region.
The Green Belt Community
The Oslo Green Belt brings together organizations that have contributed to its development through environmental responsibility and sustainable practices. Their participation gives the network its presence, diversity, and growing reach across the region. As the network continues to grow, more organizations will become part of this shared commitment, adding new places, perspectives, and initiatives to the Green Belt.
The Vision Behind the Oslo Green Belt
"The Oslo Green Belt was conceived from a simple idea: that protecting and strengthening the green environment of our cities cannot be the responsibility of one organization alone. It requires the participation of the institutions, companies, schools, and communities that form the city itself.
The Green Belt is my vision for turning that shared responsibility into a visible, connected, and lasting network across Oslo and Akershus."
