The SDGs helped us to achieve that. If the municipality is to succeed in translating the global goals into local actions and practices, the SDGs must be integrated into all management, planning and governance. We do this through our strategic planning processes, as part of the ordinary measurement and manage- ment system and in the budget work. Asker is in the process of developing its own set of statistics. We use national and international indicators where available, and try to make them locally relevant. In 2020, the three municipalities Hurum, Røyken and Asker were merged, forming a new and large Management is crucial in order to succeed in the municipality named Asker.

I hope this will inspire continued efforts towards In this VLR, we have compiled an overview of what sustainable solutions, both locally and globally! we have done so far to make the 17 SDGs relevant to our municipality, and how we will work to achieve the goals going forward.

    The Permo-Carboniferous Oslo Rift Through Six Stages and 65 Million Years

    52 by Bjørn T. Larsen1, Snorre Olaussen2, Bjørn Sundvoll3, and Michel Heeremans4 The Permo-Carboniferous Oslo Rift through six stages and 65 million years 1 Det Norske Oljeselskp ASA, Norway. E-mail: [email protected] 2 Eni Norge AS. E-mail: [email protected] 3 NHM, UiO. E-mail: [email protected] 4 Inst. for Geofag, UiO. E-mail: [email protected] The Oslo Rift is the northernmost part of the Rotliegen- des basin system in Europe. The rift was formed by lithospheric stretching north of the Tornquist fault sys- tem and is related tectonically and in time to the last phase of the Variscan orogeny. The main graben form- ing period in the Oslo Region began in Late Carbonif- erous, culminating some 20–30 Ma later with extensive volcanism and rifting, and later with uplift and emplacement of major batholiths. It ended with a final termination of intrusions in the Early Triassic, some 65 Ma after the tectonic and magmatic onset. We divide the geological development of the rift into six stages. Sediments, even with marine incursions occur exclusively during the forerunner to rifting. The mag- matic products in the Oslo Rift vary in composition and are unevenly distributed through the six stages along the length of the structure. Introduction The Oslo Palaeorift (Figure 1) contributed to the onset of a pro- longed period of extensional faulting and volcanism in NW Europe, which lasted throughout the Late Palaeozoic and the Mesozoic eras. Widespread rifting and magmatism developed north of the foreland of the Variscan Orogen during the latest Carboniferous and contin- ued in some of the areas, like the Oslo Rift, all through the Permian period.

E-mail: [email protected] 1 Table of contents Appendix A Principal-agent model Appendix B Supplementary figures and tables Appendix C Data sources and measurement Appendix D RD analysis of changes in council majority 2 A Principal-agent model In this section, we formally analyze how political preference alignment between a principal (politician) and an agent (CMO) affects the agent's expected pay. Preference alignment is thereby understood as a similarity along relevant preference dimensions between prin- cipal and agent (see also below). We focus on two potential underlying mechanisms. First, preference alignment gives policy-motivated agents a direct stake in achieving the public output desired by the political principal (the political mission). This is equivalent to the assumptions on policy motivation by Besley and Ghatak (2005). Second, prefer- ence alignment works to streamline communication and facilitates cooperation between contracting partners, and thereby improves the productivity of a match. This notion of productivity in a match is central to the literature on the ally principle (Bendor, Glazer and Hammond 2001; Huber and Shipan 2008; Dahlstr¨omand Holmgren 2019), and its micro-foundations { including improved communication, cooperation and control { have been extensively debated in the foregoing literature (Peters and Pierre 2004; Kopecky et al.

    Ruter and the Municipality of Bærum Sign Micromobility Contract with TIER

    PRESS RELEASE 23 APRIL 2020 Ruter and the Municipality of Bærum sign micromobility contract with TIER TIER has been confirmed as the new supplier of micromobility solutions for the Municipality of Bærum. The municipality’s bike hire scheme will now be expanding to include electric scooters and electric bicycles. Ruter, the Public Transport Authority of Oslo and the former Akershus region, has entered into a public-public collaboration with the Municipality of Bærum. The purpose of the collaboration is to establish a wide range of mobility services for Bærum. The procurement process has now been concluded, with TIER GmbH being selected as the municipality’s supplier of micromobility solutions. – This will be the first time Ruter integrates micromobility solutions into our existing public transport system. Our collaboration with the municipality is working very well, and we believe this is going to be an important step towards the future of mobility services," says Endre Angelvik, director of mobility services at Ruter. The partnership’s plan is to integrate shared e-bikes and e-scooters into the existing public transport system – first in Lysaker, Sandvika and Fornebu in 2020, then in other parts of the municipality during springtime next year. Ruter and the municipality of Bærum intend for the new micromobility scheme to become a valuable and safe addition to the environments where they are introduced. To this end, the partnership will aim to keep in close touch with the municipality’s general population, for purposes of receiving feedback and making adjustments. Formally, the purpose of the contract is to develop a scheme that • complements existing public transport services by allowing travellers seamless movement from transport hubs all the way to their final destination • provides the aforementioned scheme to the city's inhabitants, visitors, businesses and municipal employees – Bærum is on the way towards becoming a climate-smart municipality.
