An Urban Network for Sustainable Green Spaces
Oslo Green Belt
The Oslo Green Belt is a growing network of institutions, companies, and schools committed to sustainable care of green spaces across the city of Oslo. The concept focuses on strengthening sustainable management of institutional and educational green spaces within the urban environment. It connects environmental initiatives such as the Royal Gardens Program and Kongedugnad, developed by The Royal Gardening Society of Norway.
What Is the Oslo Green Belt
The Oslo Green Belt highlights the importance of responsible care and management of green spaces within the urban environment itself — from institutional gardens and corporate landscapes to schoolyards and community spaces. While Oslo is internationally recognized for the protected forest belt that surrounds the city, the Oslo Green Belt focuses on strengthening sustainable green environments within the urban fabric of Oslo through collaboration between institutions, companies, and schools.
Royal Gardens Program
For institutions, embassies, and companies.
Through the Royal Gardens Program, organizations participate in the Oslo Green Belt by maintaining their gardens and outdoor environments according to environmentally responsible practices.
Kongedugnad
For schools and educational communities.
Kongedugnad connects children, families, and schools with nature through practical environmental activities and educational initiatives that promote sustainability and responsibility.
Institutional Gardens
Institutional and corporate gardens play an important role in the urban landscape by contributing to biodiversity, environmental awareness, and the quality of shared public environments.
Sustainable Practices
Participants in the Oslo Green Belt follow environmentally responsible gardening practices that support biodiversity, soil health, and long-term ecological balance.
A Growing Network
The Oslo Green Belt continues to grow as new institutions, companies, embassies, and schools join initiatives connected to The Royal Gardening Society of Norway.
Environmental Stewardship
Together, participants contribute to strengthening sustainable green spaces across the city while promoting environmental awareness and responsible management of urban landscapes.
The Oslo Green Belt Network
The Oslo Green Belt is gradually taking shape as organizations across the city participate in initiatives developed by The Royal Gardening Society of Norway.
By connecting institutions, companies, and schools, the network contributes to strengthening the sustainability and visibility of green environments throughout Oslo.
Participants and Institutional Partners
Participants in the Oslo Green Belt include institutions, embassies, companies, and schools that share a commitment to environmental responsibility and sustainable care of green spaces.
The network continues to expand as more organizations contribute to strengthening Oslo’s urban landscape.
The Vision Behind the Oslo Green Belt
"The Oslo Green Belt was conceived as a framework connecting institutions, companies, and schools that contribute to the care of green spaces.
By linking environmental initiatives such as the Royal Gardens Program and Kongedugnad, the network promotes collaboration, sustainability, and the long-term ecological balance of Oslo’s urban environment."
