Natur og Ungdom (NU) which translates to Nature and Youth, also known in English as Young Friends of the Earth Norway, is a Norwegian youth environment protecting organisation. It is the only environmentalist youth organisation in Norway. 7,000 members, in 80 local groups, work on environmental issues throughout the country. Officially, NU is the youth branch of the Norwegian Society for the Conservation of Nature. The organisation is led by Gina Gylver.

The main issues the organisation works with include petroleum, public transport, energy, and nature conservation. In addition to local groups, there is a central board with 14 members that works on national issues and an administration; both are located in Oslo.

Natur og Ungdom is a member of Friends of the Earth International, and publishes the magazine Putsj.

In 2024, Natur og Ungdom won the WIN WIN Youth Award for their unwavering commitment, transformative leadership, and cross-border alliances advancing a more sustainable future. The award was presented by the WIN WIN Gothenburg Sustainability Award.
