Sammendrag
This thesis focuses on the economic concepts of weak and strong sustainable

development in relation to mitigating climate change. The overall research question is

how to move from weak towards strong sustainable development. The case studied is

Norwegian economic policy tools in relation to the petroleum industry.

In the mam part of the thesis, vanous aspects of weak and strong sustainable

development are analysed: methodology, ontology, ethics and historical background.

This part constructs the foundation for the following three papers, which all three

contribute to answer the overall research question.

Paper 1 uses circulation economics to illustrate the circular process of carbon capture

and storage (CCS). The research questions are regarding how circulation economics

and strong sustainable development can contribute to the preconditions for CCS. The

situation today remains however, generally speaking, a long way away from

recognizing strong sustainable development as an alternative to weak sustainable

development. A rare exception is the arena of paper 2, the Ethical Guidelines for the

Norwegian Government Pension Fund - Global. The income to the Fund originates

from the Norwegian petroleum industry, and the Fund is a potentially powerful policy

instrument, controlling a huge part of the world's financial assets. The research

questions of this paper analyse mitigating climate change in relation to the existing

ethical base of the Ethical Guidelines, overlapping consensus. Moreover, an alternative

base - discourse ethics - is suggested, to address mitigating climate change in a more

firm manner.

In paper 3, a theoretical model is constructed to make communication and cooperation

between weak and strong sustainable development more even, than is detected in

paper l and 2. The model is called reflexive sustainable development, and is to move

the situation of today towards strong sustainable development.
