The biggest test

The world is in the midst of an energy crisis –while the climate crisis is looming. Will we tackle both?

In the miniseries “The biggest test” four young people, who will all be 50 years old in 2050, will explore Equinor’s plan for net zero by 2050.

During the journey they will learn about the energy solutions of the future, debate with experts, and, finally, challenge the CEO, Anders Opedal.

Because is the plan really good enough? Will the world, Norway, and Equinor be sufficiently well-equipped to pass the biggest test?
