The government seeks input from the public on the issues of overconsumption and how we best can address these challenges.
The government has established the country’s first Citizen’s Assembly.
- The recommendations from the Citizen’s Assembly will be considered to be addressed in the upcoming White Paper on the UN Sustainability Goals.
The Norwegian Government requests input on Sustainable Consumption
We welcome everyone to consider what a future with reduced consumption of goods will look like.
In the Norwegian Citizen’s Assembly, 66 members will work to provide recommendations to the government on the following questions:
- How can we reduce our overconsumption of goods while maintaining a high quality of life?
- What is needed for us to consume less textiles, shoes, electronics, furniture, and equipment for home and leisure by 2030?
- How can we reduce overconsumption in an inclusive and fair way?

About the Norwegian Citizen’s Assembly
The Norwegian Ministry for Digitalization and Public Governance is the
commissioning body on behalf of the Norwegian Government.
SoCentral and We Do Democracy will constitute as a third-party secretariat in order to ensure independence and legitimacy of the Citizen’s Assembly. The third-party secretariat will therefore organize and is responsible for the content of the Citizen’s Assembly meetings. This applies to the design of the process, the program for the gatherings and the organization of the gatherings.
The Citizen’s Assembly’s role is to recommend and advise, not to develop specific solutions or make political decisions. The commissioning body is not obliged politically to follow or adopt the recommendations.
