Join our green shift report launch on 19 January at 14:00 Oslo time!
The discussions on ensuring a sustainable green shift at all levels of international intervention have never been more relevant. During the UN climate conference in Glasgow last year, it was evident that global investment in the green shift must be scaled up dramatically.
So, how do we succeed with the green shift?

Background
We know that a successful green shift is dependent on impact at scale. In 2021, we had some great achievements. But we have also experienced some key challenges that hamper progress, especially in localisation and bridging the humanitarian, development and peacebuilding sectors – referred to as nexus.
NORCAP works on strengthening the sector to better provide support to people in need. Sharing evidence-based knowlede is one way of support. Reading the reports will provide you with a thorough understanding of what works and what should be improved to succeed. NORCAP is today one of the largest providers of clean energy expertise to the humanitarian sector. In 2021 we had 34 people working with 8 different agencies at global, regional and national levels - within 18 countries. Additionally, we also had two consultants to the Syria/Lebanon humanitarian country team/resident coordinator.
We would like to thank our partners and donors who have been part of developing these reports and the work we have conducted within our clean energy project.
