National targets

Reduce greenhouse gas emissions
Norway will voluntarily strengthen its Kyoto commitment by 10 percentage points, which corresponds to cutting emissions to 9% below the 1990 level.

Reduced emissions by 2020
Norway will undertake to reduce global greenhouse gas emissions by the equivalent of 30% of its own 1990 emissions by 2020. The 2007 white paper on climate policy and the 2008 agreement between most of the political parties concluded that a realistic target is to reduce Norwegian emissions by 15-17 million tonnes CO2 equivalents relative to the reference scenario presented in the National Budget for 2007, when CO2 uptake by forest is included.

Carbon neutrality by 2030
If an ambitious global climate agreement is achieved in which other developed countries also take on extensive obligations, Norway will undertake to achieve carbon neutrality by 2030 at the latest. This means that Norway would have to reduce emissions by the equivalent of 100% of its own emissions by 2030.

Reduce deforestation and promote sustainable development
Efforts to reduce emissions from deforestation and forest degradation in developing countries (REDD) will promote sustainable development and help reduce poverty.

Strengthened adaptive capacity
Norwegian society will become less vulnerable to climate change, and Norway's adaptive capacity will be strengthened.
