Norway carbon profile

Norway emits roughly 37 Mt of CO₂ per year — about 0.10% of global emissions, ranking #63 worldwide. At 6.7 tonnes per person (#27 per capita), its footprint is above the global average of ~4.7 t.

Emissions have declined steadily over the past five years (-13%) and declined steadily over the decade (-17%). The sustained downward trajectory suggests structural decarbonization rather than a one-off dip.

Renewables supply about 99% of electricity. The power sector is largely decarbonized, so remaining emissions come mostly from transport, industry and heating.

If the current pace holds, Norway could cut another ~13% by 2030. Maintaining clean growth while industrializing is the key challenge.
