Norway attains to be carbon neutral country by 2030. It might be a bit contradictive because while Norway is among one of the world's biggest polluters per capita and a huge exporter of dirty fuels, it is still very famous for fresh air and advanced eco-friendly technologies. The country defines itself to be home to a green-minded people and government. Hence, in order to make the country cleaner and greener, the government launched public outreach initiative called Klimal?tet.
Klimal?tet is a national governmental campaign for public awareness on climate change and how to act on CO2 ( reduce carbon emissions).
The Campaign is organised as a partnership with stakeholders from the NGOs, climatescience- and research institutions, businesses and representative groups from civil society.It is run by the Norwegian Ministry of Environment.
