Grønt NMH (Green NMH)

NMH is Eco-Lighthouse certified and works purposefully to reduce the school's carbon footprint.

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.

Climate-friendly catering policy

Our catering policy is part of the overall environmental effort and helps us make better choices related to menus and ordering routines. One goal is to reduce the number of meat dishes and menus with meat products. Vegetarian and vegan menus are the standard choice for all orders, and suppliers must use packaging that produces as little waste as possible. We also work to coordinate orders, to save on transport emissions and packaging.

Climate calculator

You can calculate emissions for various travel and accommodation options with a climate calculator. Check, for example, which is most climate-friendly: an extra night at a hotel, train transport or a flight with a shorter overnight stay.

Waste Management and Recycling

Recycling stations are on every floor in various common areas, often near stairwells or lifts.

The Waste and Reuse Guide provides comprehensive instructions on how students and staff should manage waste at NMH. Specific instructions are also posted at all recycling stations throughout the premises to make waste disposal easy.
