The organization was founded in 1996, and its current spokespeople are Ingrid Ophaug Dahl and Lage Nøst[2]. The Young Greens works to promote green ideology, its mother party's political program, and youths' engagement in politics.
Politics
The Young Greens follows the political platform of its mother party, the Green Party, but can also adapt independent resolutions. One of the organizations prioritized issues is to change Norwegian climate politics, and phase out the Norwegian oil industry within 20 years.[2]
