He was chairman of Friends of the Earth Norway from 2005[1] to 2016[2] after having been deputy chairman from 2003 to 2005. Haltbrekken was also chairman of Natur og Ungdom in 1995 and 1996. In between the two leadership roles, he worked primarily trying to prevent natural gas power plants in Norway, and was chairman of Fellesaksjonen mot gasskraftverk (lit. The common action against gas power plants). He grew up in Trondheim.

Haltbrekken was elected to the Storting in 2017 and was re-elected in 2021.[3]

Party politics

In February 2023, ahead of the party convention, the Socialist Party committee was divided on whether to designate Haltbrekken or Marian Hussein as deputy leader succeeding Kirsti Bergstø who was the sole candidate to succeed outgoing leader Audun Lysbakken.[4] Despite being considered the favourite to become deputy leader, he lost against Hussein with 101 to 114 votes.[5]
