The Norwegian government and the Storting (the Norwegian Parliament) determine the ambitions of our environmental policy. The environmental policy has been divided into various fields, each with specific national objectives.
The Norwegian Environment Agency has been assigned key tasks with a view to achieving the national objectives in the following fields:
a stable climate and strengthened adaptability
biodiverse forests
unspoilt mountain landscapes
rich and varied wetlands
an unpolluted environment
an active outdoor life
well managed cultural landscapes
living seas and coasts
healthy rivers and lakes
effective waste management and recycling
clean air and less noise pollution
