Are our politicians AI skeptics?
Either they ignore the challenges, or they ridicule them.
Norway has been a leader in global health — with new committee, we hope it continues
Millions of lives depend on Norway to continue its efforts on global health. Therefore, we ask a committee of experts led by Camilla Stoltenberg to advise on Norway's strategy for the future.
Even the government can't claim that the electric car subsidies are effective climate policy now
Effective, global climate policy is not outdated. That's the future.
Science has not provided good enough answers to the question of the origin of the pandemic
Here politics has become entwined with what should have been open and free research.
What do we owe the future?
Do we have moral obligations towards people that do not yet exist? In long-term ethics, one is concerned with the future, but what does it really entail?
Dangerously fast in the wrong direction
Creating super-intelligent KI will be humanity's greatest achievement. But will it be the best or worst thing we've created?
Cut electric car subsidies - spend the money out
The electric car subsidies cost too much and seem too little. Replace them with more effective climate action abroad.
Antimicrobial resistance - Taking action on pull incentives in Norway
Antimikrobiell resistens (AMR) er en alvorlig og raskt voksende folkehelsetrussel. I 2022 ble det anslått at AMR førte til 1,27 millioner dødsfall globalt. Dette notatet beskriver en modell som estimerer at det i 2015 gikk tapt minst 240 liv i Norge på grunn av antimikrobiell resistens. Modellen er utarbeidet av Alliance for Reducing Microbial Resistance (ARMoR) med innspill fra tankesmien Langsikt. Utviklingskjeden for antimikrobielle midler har over tid blitt utarmet, og er nå klart utilstrekkelig for å levere medikamentene som trengs for å behandle resistente infeksjoner. En viktig årsak til dette er markedssvikt i legemiddelmarkedet, der dagens insentivstruktur gjør det ulønnsomt å kommersialisere nye antibiotika. ARMoR foreslår en satsing på såkalte pull-insentiver som en del av løsningen på denne markedssvikten.
Government's climate funding is tinkering with numbers
Norway contributes less than we claim and “aid-washes” profitable investments.
Norwegian food security in scenarios with abrupt sunlight reduction
This report, prepared in collaboration with ALLFED, highlights the ongoing threat to Norway's food systems from abrupt sunlight reduction scenarios (ASRS), caused by events such as a volcanic eruption, nuclear conflict or an asteroid impact. Historically, such scenarios have severely disrupted the global climate and would have catastrophic consequences for food security around the world if they were to occur again. However, there are effective measures that Norwegian authorities can take to strengthen preparedness both before and after such an event, which can reduce disruptions to the food system and save lives globally.
