Grønt NMH (Green NMH) is the Norwegian Academy of Music's initiative within climate and sustainability. Here you can find out more about organisation, activities, reporting, and involvement.
Among other things, we aim to reduce our CO2 emissions by flying less and increase the recycling rate of the waste we produce. Further down the page, you can find all the environmental reports; our annual quantification of various environmental areas.
The school considers sustainable alternatives when purchasing goods and services and chooses eco-labelled options whenever possible. We also encourage our students, staff, and concert audiences to travel by public transport when coming to NMH.
Music and musical experiences are inherently sustainable and contribute to increased quality of life for individuals. Through research and education, NMH provides people who make socially beneficial contributions to the green transition and put environmental issues on the agenda through musical and political actions.
At the same time, we recognise that several aspects of our core activities leave a carbon footprint. Through small and large initiatives, we aim to improve environmental performance, and certification as an Eco-Lighthouse is a tangible contribution to this ongoing effort.
