Norwegian Regional Steering Groups created
The Bergen Learning and Action Alliance (LAA) has set up a steering group at Hordaland on
region level, in which all mayors from the region participate to discuss policies. A larger, informal
stakeholder group consists of about 100 people. Issues discussed in the groups include effective
organisation of the LAA and the limited involvement of urban planners. The group meets on a bi-
monthly basis.
The Steering Group is intended to become a permanent body. It will extend its scope to address
Climate Change issues in general. Objectives are to coordinate development on a common
knowledge/capacity base.
The steering group of Hordaland was such a success that an open group is created now for all the
mayors of the whole of Norway.
