Børge Brende, a notable figure associated with various international institutions, has recently been removed from the official websites of both the China Council for International Cooperation on Environment and Development (CCICED) and the Harvard International Negotiation Program (INP). Brende had been serving as a 'council member' at CCICED since 2005, where he contributed to providing policy recommendations to the Chinese government alongside a diverse group of international members. His removal raises questions regarding his current involvement and status within these organizations.

The CCICED is a significant body that aims to facilitate dialogue between China and the international community on environmental issues, while the INP focuses on conflict resolution and negotiation strategies. Brende's roles in these institutions had placed him in key positions of influence, particularly in fostering international cooperation and understanding on pressing global matters. His absence may signal a shift in dynamics or priorities within these organizations, although further information is needed to ascertain the reasons behind his removal.

As of now, the timeline and motives for Brende's removal from these prestigious organizations remain unclear. It highlights a lack of transparency within international bodies and leaves observers speculating about the implications for Norway's role in global diplomacy and environmental governance. Stakeholders and analysts will be keenly monitoring any developments or statements from either Brende or the organizations involved that could shed light on this situation.
