OECD: Environmental Reviews of Norway

Citing Norway’s good record of environmental protection and sustainable development including: improved air and water quality, spearheading international initiatives on climate change, and doubling its environmental since 2006; the new review says that the country should now devise cost-effective policies to meet its ambitious environmental goals, including climate and biodiversity.

Specifics include inter alia: establishing a clear and realistic domestic target for reducing GHG emissions and applying a consistent price for carbon; strengthening protections of priority species and selected habitats; and removing exemptions to environment-related taxes and other subsidies.
