Abstract

Norway is set to mandate bomb shelters in all new buildings to enhance civil defense preparedness following Russia's invasion of Ukraine. The decision aims to reverse a 1998 ruling that suspended the requirement for buildings over 1,000 square meters, resulting in a lack of new bomb shelters in the country. This move aligns with a broader regional trend of countries, including Finland, Denmark, and Sweden, preparing for various crises, such as military threats, natural disasters, and cyberattacks. Additionally, Norway plans to tighten regulations on foreign investments in strategic industries and consider changes to property ownership rules near critical infrastructure to increase transparency and security.
