The goal is for Norway to become a low-emission society by 2050. By low-emission society is meant a society where greenhouse gas emissions, based on the best scientific basis, emission developments globally and national circumstances, are reduced to counteract the harmful effects of global warming as described in the Paris Agreement 12 December 2015 Article 2 (1) (a).

The goal is for greenhouse gas emissions in 2050 to be reduced by around 90 to 95 per cent from the emission level in the reference year 1990.
