“All should be proud of what this statue represents; it stands as an enduring tribute to those who – at great risk to themselves - fought against tyranny and oppression”

This week Her Royal Highness The Princess Royal and Norwegian Foreign Minister Espen Barth Eide unveiled the statue “Coastwatchers” at Normandieplassen in Oslo, commemorating the close cooperation between British and Norwegian intelligence services during WW2.

The statue was created at the initiative of the Anglo Norwegian Resistance Commemoration Project (ANRCP), of which Her Royal Highness is a Patron, which seeks to increase awareness and recognition of the cooperation between Special Operations Executive (SOE), Secret Intelligence Service (SIS) and the many Norwegian resistance fighters who worked to liberate Norway from German occupation.

17 Goals. Many voices. One shared future. 🌍

What do the Sustainable Development Goals mean to us?

On SDG Flag Day, 17 colleagues from British embassies and posts across the Nordic region, Netherlands and Ireland each share a personal reflection on one of the 17 Goals. Together, their voices highlight a shared vision for a fairer, greener and more sustainable future.

From ensuring no one is left behind and creating opportunities for women and girls, to protecting our oceans, safeguarding biodiversity and building peaceful societies based on trust and justice, every goal matters.

Achieving them will take action, commitment and strong partnerships across borders. Because when we work together, we achieve more.

What do the SDGs mean to you?
