- There has been a notable shift in permanent residence policies, with European countries placing increasing emphasis on integration requirements. This article focuses on monetary requirements by exploring how immigrants perceive the income requirement for permanent residence through 29 interviews conducted with a diverse group of immigrants in Norway. A striking finding in our material is that most interviewees view the income requirement as unjust or illegitimate, and rather than providing motivation, it instead adds an extra layer of concern. Additionally, the requirement fosters a sense of being less valued compared to the majority population and of being unwanted. Although most interviewees are against the income requirement, suggesting that class has no explanatory value for understanding the legal consciousness of the participants, we identified at least three distinct narratives within their opposition that appear to be class-based. Thus, we advocate for ‘bringing class back in’ to legal consciousness studies.Forskere: Mariann Stærkebye Leirvik, Tone Liodden, Helga Eggebø
- Prosjektet "Arbeidslivet akselerasjonsfelt" skulle bidra til arbeidet med å utvikle et akselerasjonsfelt på Helgeland på to måter: Gjennom å innhente erfaringer fra andre inkluderingsprosjekter, og gjennom å følgeforske arbeidet med å utvikle akselerasjonsfelt i Vefsn, slik at andre kommuner i regionen kunne lære av erfaringene som ble gjort. Denne rapporten oppsummerer funnene på disse to områdene, og skisserer mulige problemstillinger som kan brukes til å søke om et hovedprosjekt.Forskere: Stian Bragtvedt, Aase-Kristine Aasen Lundberg

- Nordlandsforskning har gjennomført en beboerundersøkelse på oppdrag fra Sortland Boligstiftelse (SBS). Undersøkelsen har som formål å kartlegge beboernes erfaringer og tilfredshet med boligsituasjonen. Bakgrunnen for undersøkelsen er at boligstiftelsen ønsker å finne forbedringsområder, men også at den nye stiftelsesloven som gir kommuner adgang til å avvikle boligstiftelser aktualiserer behovet for innsikt i stiftelsens betydning sett fra beboernes ståsted.Forskere: Arild Gjertsen, Hilde Åsheim, Trond Bliksvær
- Forprosjektet «Kapasitetsløft for bærekraftig besøksforvaltning i Vesterålen» ble initiert av Nordlandsforskning, Vesterålsrådet og Visit Vesterålen. Målet har vært å identifisere utfordringer og muligheter, samt berede grunn for utvikling av strategier for bærekraftig besøksforvaltning gitt en forventning om fortsatt vekst i reiselivsnæringen og antall besøkende til regionen. Nordlandsforskning har vært utøvende FoU-aktør og faglig ansvarlig for FoU-aktivitetene, inkludert ferdigstilling av rapporten.Forskere: Karin Marie Antonsen, Anna Guðbjört Sveinsdóttir
- As global warming increases, the topic of overshoot, understood as the temporary exceedance of the 1.5°C limit of the Paris Agreement, is gaining prominence both in scientific and political spheres. However, overshoot and its implications for adaptation in the short – and long-term remain unexplored. In this Perspective, we reflect on the current use of global climate scenarios and local impact projections in science-based adaptation planning. The risks arising from overshoot scenarios in relation to the transgression of limits to adaptation and impact irreversibility are highlighted. We find that the prospects of potential long-term impact reversibility may have limited relevance in most adaptation decision-making contexts, indicating that it might be peak warming, rather than a long-term outcome, that determines adaptation needs and costs. While overshoot may not be relevant for short-term planning, it should be considered for long-term plans and policies, for example for infrastructure-based measures and for irreversible impacts such as sea-level rise. Key insights from adaptation practitioners in four diverse urban vulnerability contexts (Bodø, Lisbon, Nassau, Islamabad) are presented on how these risks are perceived and integrated (or not) into local planning and policy-making. We find that current adaptation planning must be extensively evaluated against a wider set of future global climate outcomes to incorporate risks of transgression of local limits to adaptation and overshoot. To this end, data gaps on adaptation limits and impact reversibility need to be filled and capacity building needs on climate scenarios, overshoot and related concepts for local adaptation practitioners should be addressed.Forskere: Emily Theokritoff, Quentin Lejeune, Hugo P.

- This brief presents a scoping review of the developments related to deep-sea mining, an emerging industry that has received opposition from a coalition of 32 countries due to its negative environmental and social impact. However, the Norwegian government initiated an opening process for deep-sea mining activities in the Norwegian continental shelf in January 2024, but subsequently, in December 2024, the plans for further exploration were suspended due to opposition from environmental groups, international institutions, and the Socialist Left Party in Norway. The scoping review identifies the emerging political, economic, social, technological and legal debates related to deep-sea mining activities in the Norwegian context. The results in the brief provide an overview of the key scientific debates and the knowledge uncertainties related to deep-sea mining from the perspective of the different stakeholders (government, industry, scientific research community, NGOs). The findings in the scoping literature review extend the previous scholarship on deep-sea mining by consolidating the fragmented scholarship and identifying the points of convergence across them.Forskere: Suyash Jolly
