Summary

Lars Haltbrekken, Une Bastholm, and Linda Monsen Merkesdal have introduced a constitutional amendment to enshrine the public right of access to nature. The proposers argue that this right—which allows people to freely move through, stay in, and harvest from natural areas regardless of land ownership—should be protected in the Constitution to safeguard it for future generations and prevent privatization of natural spaces.
