The Standing Committee on Scrutiny and Constitutional Affairs presents the Office of the Auditor General's investigation into Norway's climate adaptation aid to developing countries between 2015 and 2025. The audit concludes that the Foreign Ministry and Norad have failed to ensure accurate information about the aid, paid insufficient attention to climate adaptation in planning and monitoring agreements, and that results are difficult to document. The committee endorses the audit's finding that management is 'unsatisfactory' and recommends improvements in how aid is categorized, how progress is tracked, how results are systematized, and how findings are reported to the Storting.
