Governor Gavin Newsom welcomed his Royal Highness Prince Haakon of Norway on Tuesday. Both California and Norway say they are committed to fighting climate change together and signed a Memorandum of Understanding.
Against the backdrop of blue skies and blue water at the Larkspur Ferry Terminal, Governor Gavin Newsom and Norway’s Minister of Trade and Industry pledged to combat climate change.
The Minister arrived along with His Royal Highness Crown Prince Haakon and a delegation from Norway.
Norway is latest country to partner with the Golden State in its commitment to international climate collaboration.
“Norway is a world leader in emission-free ferries and green transport is of course one of the areas, where we see potential for more cooperation in the years to come,” said Jan Christian Vestre, Minister of Trade and Industry of Norway.
