‘Master plan’ for climate draws flak
January 8, 2021
The Norwegian government rolled out its new “master plan” for meeting climate goals on Friday, just a day after state meteorologists confirmed that last year was Norway’s warmest ever. The plan for cutting the emissions blamed for climate change met an immediate storm of criticism, but also some praise.
Norwegian governments over the years have been harshly criticized for not doing enough to halt climate change, mainly because of a reluctance to rein in Norway’s oil industry.

Norway’s Supreme Court has overwhelmingly rejected a challenge from anti-Arctic oil campaigners. The environmental groups are considering an appeal.
Environmental groups were hoping to reverse the award of 10 oil licenses in the Barents Sea, by having them ruled unconstitutional on environmental grounds.
The groups referred to the Paris Agreement, arguing that the licenses violated article 112 of Norway s constitution, which guarantees the right to a healthy environment. A recent report revealed that Norway can expect more rainfall, flooding, landslides and power outages in the future because of the changing climate.
