Meld. St. 41 (2016–2017)
Norway’s Climate Strategy for 2030: a transformational approach within a European cooperation framework — Meld. St. 41 (2016–2017) Report to the Storting (white paper)
Recommendation of 16 June 2017 from the Ministry of Climate and Environment, approved in the Council of State the same day (white paper from the Solberg Government)
The Norwegian Government is working towards joint fulfilment of its Paris commitment together with the European Union (EU). Joint fulfilment will make it possible to achieve the 2030 reduction target for emissions that fall outside the scope of the EU Emissions Trading System (EU ETS) mainly through domestic emission reductions, and with the use of EU flexibility mechanisms as necessary. The main sources of non-ETS emissions are transport, agriculture, buildings and waste, but also manufacturing and the petroleum sector. The Government’s strategy for 2030 is intended to open the way for substantial domestic emission reductions.
