Farmer protests, environmental regulations and the rise of the far right in the EU

Natalia Mamonova – senior researcher at Ruralis – was a speaker at the “Climate and Conflict” event, organized by CICERO Center for International Climate Research. This public event was part of CICEROdagen and took place on 25 May at Kulturhuset in Oslo.

Together with Håkon Sælen, senior researcher at CICERO, Natalia discussed the ongoing farmers protests in the EU, related changes in the EU environmental and agricultural policy, and the upcoming EU parliamentary elections in June. She also drew some parallels with the situation in Norwegian agriculture and discussed the potential for rising right-wing populist sentiments in rural Norway.
