Responsibilities and revision

This strategy provides a comprehensive, authoritative framework to guide efforts to ensure Norway’s security.

The Government has overall responsibility for ensuring that the strategy is followed up, across the central government administration, vis-à-vis other relevant stakeholders in Norwegian society and at the international level.

This strategy is to underpin efforts relating to national security in the various government ministries, and is to be used as a basis for establishing overall priorities, identifying concrete measures and developing policy.

Implementation of the strategy will require a whole-of-society approach. More time and resources need to be devoted to security across all sectors and at all levels of society.

For this reason, the strategy places higher expectations on a range of actors in our society, in particular the business sector and the public authorities.

Everyone living in Norway also has a clear responsibility to contribute to this national effort. We must all do more to keep ourselves, and Norway, safe.

This strategy is planned to be revised in two years’ time.
