Nils Kristian Nakstad

Nils Kristian Nakstad is the outgoing CEO of Enova, the Norwegian government enterprise responsible for promoting environmentally friendly energy solutions. He has been at the forefront of Norway's efforts to achieve its climate goals through various green initiatives, overseeing the allocation of substantial funds to projects aimed at reducing CO2 emissions. Recently, he was in the news responding to a critical report from economists claiming that over half of the 30 billion kroner allocated to green projects was wasted, defending Enova's broader mission of fostering sustainable societal changes rather than merely seeking the cheapest emissions reductions.
