[^7]\n\nThe EEA Executive Director emphasized that resilience is now an urgent necessity rather than a future option, as all EU member states have national adaptation policies but implementation lags due to coordination, financing, and capacity issues. [^8]\n\nApproximately 72 countries with diplomatic representation in Oslo have been invited to attend the funeral. [^9]\n\nThe Norwegian Foreign Ministry expects a significant number of royals, heads of state, and other official representatives to attend the funeral.
