Literature review

The mining company has benefits of employment and income, but

Environment conservation is the first priority (Yearley, 2014).

From the work of researchers, there was something left out that is the environmental protests by the Norwegians (Dryzek, et al. 2014).

 

Research methodology

The study site is Norway country which has undergone environmental transition through the acts of the government.

Data was gathered by issuing

Questionnaires to the top government officials, those involved in making environmental

policies, the citizens themselves and the tourists in the country.

 

Conclusion

The reasons for their objection were to protect the environment from the pollution of any kind.

The other political leaders focused their minds on the project as they saw employment opportunities and a lot of income without considering the effect on the environment.

 

Recommendation

• The citizens should fight for the preservation of the environment by addressing the government.
• The policies made about climate condition should be adhered to.
• All countries should join hands in preserving the environment by controlling pollution
