(Outline)
Norway is pushing for a more comprehensive and ambitious climate agreement to succeed the Kyoto Protocol. Norway will follow up their commitments and reduce emissions nationally and internationally.
They will propone Norway becoming a “carbon neutral” country to year 2030. Most of Norway’s 40% reduction will be in their domestic emissions. The rest will be fulfilled by financing emissions reductions abroad through market based mechanisms.

They include the following technical items

- Carbon Capture and Storage - Forests and Shipping - Energy Security A new energy is such as solar, wind, tide, thermal and bio-fuels, all combined with improvements in energy efficiency.
