Centre for Development and the Environment, Research center at University of Oslo, Norway
The Centre for Development and the Environment is a research facility at the University of Oslo that focuses on social and environmental sustainability. It brings together scholars from different disciplines to investigate complex questions about development and ecology.
The center was founded in 1990 after Norway's participation in the World Commission on Environment and Development, which released the Brundtland Report in 1987. This establishment reflected Norway's response to international sustainability discussions.
The center contributes to public conversations about sustainable development in Norwegian society through its research findings. Its researchers work with policymakers to translate ideas into concrete actions.
The center is located at Sandakerveien 130 in Oslo and operates as part of the university, so access is best arranged through campus facilities. Keep in mind this is a research facility where professionals work, not a public exhibition space.
The center will merge with the new Centre for Global Sustainability in 2025, expanding its research capabilities and international partnerships. This combination reflects the growing importance of a global perspective on sustainability issues.
