Carbon emissions Norway

Climate change represents one of the most complex challenges of our time. Governments worldwide are adopting ambitious goals for net-zero emissions by mid-century. Achieving these goals will, however, require more than individual policy instruments like carbon taxes to deal with multiple goals and interests; they require comprehensive "policy portfolios"- carefully designed combinations of policies to ensure effectiveness, fairness, and public support. 

The AVIATE (Aviation in a low-carbon society) project will provide better understanding of the climate impact of aviation, both for Norway and globally, and explore options for reducing that impact.

The international community has agreed that the increase in global temperature must be limited to 2°C above the pre-industrial levels. Meeting this ambitious goal requires a large-scale shift away from the fossil economy towards one based on renewable materials and energy like biomass.
