Short-term climate impacts and health effects of measures to reduce emissions of climate forcers in Norway

The Norwegian Environment Agency was commissioned by the Ministry of Climate and Environment to assess the short-term climate impacts and health effects of measures to reduce emissions of climate forcers in Norway, with a special focus on reductions in emissions of black carbon (BC) and methane. In all, the analysis included 39 measures to reduce non-ETS emissions. The long-term climate impacts of 34 of these measures were assessed in the report drawn up in connection with the white paper on Norway’s climate strategy for 2030. The remaining five measures concern woodburning stoves; these were assessed in 2013 and re-assessed in 2017.
