Our key messages for COP

SINTEF and NTNU have prepared a joint brochure presenting research-based insights on global energy and climate challenges. The publication summarises essential perspectives on mitigation, adaptation, technology development and international collaboration — and outlines areas where accelerated action is crucial.
