NTNU Samfunnssikkerhet - Ressurser
I dagens verden har ressurser og økonomisk beredskap blitt stadig viktigere i global politikk. De siste 15 årene har store aktører som EU, USA og Kina utviklet nye strategier for å beskytte seg mot sviktende tilgang på ressurser innen kritiske områder som matforsyning, industriell produksjon og mineraler som er nødvendige for det grønne skiftet. For Norge medfører dette en rekke nye utfordringer, fra svekkede internasjonale handelssystemer til konflikter om arealbruk, for eksempel mellom urfolk og prosjekter innen gruvedrift eller fornybar energi.
Dette endrede geopolitiske landskapet understreker behovet for at Norge og NTNU utforsker hvordan bedre ressursplanlegging og -forvaltning kan styrke landets økonomi og sikkerhet. Forskerteamet Ressurser er godt rustet til å møte disse utfordringene. Vi samler kompetanse fra en rekke ulike fagområder, inkludert geologi, samfunnsvitenskap og humaniora, for å belyse både nasjonale og internasjonale dimensjoner ved ressursforvaltning. Vårt arbeid spenner fra grunnleggende geologisk forskning til studier av politikk rundt ressursforbruk, industriell vekst, internasjonale reguleringer og beredskap for kriser som krig eller naturkatastrofer.
Ved å kombinere disse ulike perspektivene har vi som mål å bidra med nødvendig kunnskap for en tryggere og mer robust fremtid for Norge.

Webinar topic
A multi-stakeholder panel exploring how Norway can balance mineral security with environmental stewardship across land and sea.
The discussion addresses shared challenges and differences between terrestrial and marine mineral governance, the integration of indigenous rights and knowledge into policy development, urgent research needs for informed decision-making, and pathways to reconciling diverse perspectives in an integrated minerals policy.
Key Discussion Questions
- How can the Nordic region balance mineral security with environmental stewardship across land and sea?
- What are the shared challenges and distinct differences between terrestrial and marine mineral governance?
- How can indigenous rights and knowledge be integrated into mineral policy development?
- What research is most urgently needed to inform decision-making?
- How can different stakeholder perspectives be reconciled in integrated minerals policy?
The panelists
Patrik Andersson is an analyst at the Swedish National China Centre with an industrial PhD examining how China’s foreign policy shapes its mining strategies in the Arctic. With many years of study and research in China, he brings deep regional expertise informed by academic work at institutions in Denmark, Sweden, and China.
