Timeline

1967

Ola Elvestuen (born 9 October 1967) is a Norwegian politician for the Liberal Party who served as Minister of Climate and the Environment from 2018 to 2020.

2001

Prior to this, he served as a deputy representative to the Storting from Oslo from 2001 to 2013.

2003

On the local level Elvestuen was a member of Oslo city council from 2003 to 2015, and served as city commissioner for public transport and environmental affairs from 2011 until his election to Parliament in 2013.

2008

He was also the party's deputy leader from 2008 to 2020 (2008–2012 as second deputy and 2012–2020 as first deputy), and has been an MP for Oslo since 2013.

He is married to Greta Elvestuen.

He is a younger brother of illustrator Per Elvestuen.

In 2008, he became second deputy leader of his party, and then first deputy in 2012, which he was until 2020.

2013

Elvestuen was a member of the Storting from Oslo in 2013, and served as leader of the Energy and the Environment Committee since 2013.

He has been re-elected to Parliament since.

2018

After the Liberal Party entered the Solberg Cabinet, Elvestuen was appointed minister of climate and the environment on 17 January 2018, succeeding the Conservatives' Vidar Helgesen.

In April 2018, he announced that the government would be adding 2 million NOK to the "Fishing for litter" scheme for 2018, in response to plastic being discovered at a bird mountain in Runde.

In June, he announced that the government would approve the establishment of Lofotodden National Park in Nordland, which had been proposed by the municipalities of Moskenes and Flakstad.

In October, he praised Mattvett and Findus' advertisements at the Oslo train station, which showed that 335 000 tons of food is wasted a year.

He notably praised them for raising awareness of food wasting and called on consumers to help reduce food waste.

2019

In May 2019, Elvestuen expressed his disagreement with his Brazilian counterpart, Ricardo Salles, who had stated that Norway's billion contribution to the Amazon rain forest fund was futile.

Elvestuen stated: "The fund as a whole has certainly contributed to reduced deforestation. Norway's cooperation with Brazil is results-based. All Norwegian funds are a reward for reducing deforestation".

2020

Elvestuen was among the non-Progress Party ministers to be dismissed on 24 January 2020 alongside the Progress Party ministers, who stepped down as a result of their party withdrawing from government.

He was succeeded by fellow Liberal Party member Sveinung Rotevatn.

In her self biography released in 2021 after her resignation, Siv Jensen described Elvestuen as the "most active cabinet member who wanted to tear down the coalition's cooperation".

She also said that he demanded many postponed government conferences "by many hours" and "never gave up".

Elvestuen refused to comment Jensen's recollection of him, but notes that there was hard fighting for many issues such as climate change, nature and drug reform.
