About us

The Eco Agents is the children's own environmental organization, with members from every corner of Norway. We strive to raise children's voices in the national and global conversations on climate change, and create lasting commitments to the environmental cause.

Children are the future. The Eco Agents make sure the voices of children are heard today, while preparing them for environmental leadership tomorrow. We work to give children greater belief in themselves and their future, and to demonstrate that everyone can make a difference.

The Eco Agents want to nourish a long lasting and solution-oriented passion for the environmental cause, on the children's own terms. We emphasize optimism and a positive outlook in our activities. In our fight to live within the boundaries of our planet, the Eco Agents choose to face challenges with enthusiasm, creativity, and inclusive action.

Our fundamental goals

That our members discover our wonderful nature and explore the connections between humans and nature.
To help children believe in themselves, in the democratic process, and in the importance of taking action. Eco Agents have the right to speak up!
To work for a safer society where humans know what nature can tolerate and act accordingly.
To support our Eco Agents in the development of a life-long passion for the climate and environment.

Our organization

The Eco Agents, or "Miljøagentene", was founded in 2006, growing out of the popular children’s movement “Inky’s Environmental Detectives”. Today, we have local groups in all parts of Norway and approximately 10 000 registered members. All children in Norway can become eco agents, and we are a non-governmental organization with no affiliation to political parties. However, we get involved in political topics of our time, and do what we can to convince political parties to take better care of our planet.

The Eco Agents is a democratic organization where the members decide what issues we work with, and what activities we organize. This can include school campaigns, political campaigns, nature clean-up days, recycling drives and excursions. We also publish the Eco Agent's Report, our members magazine, five times a year.

The Children's Panel on Climate Change

Each year, the members of the Eco Agents elect a Children’s Panel on Climate Change. This Children’s Panel act as a voice for Norwegian children in meetings with politicians and other decision makers, and write the annual Children's Climate and Environment Report. The panel usually takes part in the annual UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s Conference of the Parties Summit – also known as the COP meetings.

The Children’s Panel on Climate Change has gathered input from hundreds of thousands of Norwegian children since its inception in 2015. This input has been voiced by the panel to representatives of the Norwegian Parliament, government ministers and other policymakers. The Children’s Panel on Climate Change has also brought the input of Norwegian children to the international arena, participating in the UN COP climate summits in Paris, Marrakech, Bonn, Katowice, Glasgow, Sharm el-Sheikh, Dubai, Baku and Belém.

In November 2025, the panel attended COP 30 in Brazil, presenting policymakers with the Eco Agents’ eleventh annual report. The report, titled NOW!, compiles input collected over the past year from over 18 000 Norwegian children. It also draws insight from a national survey on children attitudes towards climate change and the environment.
