The government’s coordination to achieve Norway’s climate goals is too weak – Latest news – news

11 June 2024 at 12:35 The National Audit Office: The government’s coordination to achieve Norway’s climate goals is too weak This is according to a report that the National Audit Office presented today. This is objectionable, says the National Audit Office in the report. – Climate change requires extensive restructuring in many areas. It is then crucial that the ministries cooperate, that the work is coordinated and that it is clear what the individual ministries are to contribute. Our investigation shows that this coordination is too weak. This increases the risk that Norway will not meet the climate targets, says Auditor General Karl Eirik Schjøtt-Pedersen. There is a lack of a plan showing which ministries are responsible for further developing measures, and when this should happen. And the work on the further development of means of action is partly not specified, according to the report. – The report shows that Støre has no control over climate policy. The government is criticized for a lack of overall management and a lack of transparency about the uncertainties linked to whether we achieve the targets or not. It is very serious. Ensuring that we avoid catastrophic climate change is the most important task of today’s politicians. Both this and previous governments have failed here, says parliamentary leader of MDG, Lan Marie Berg. – The government promised to count emissions like they count money, and to make climate the framework for all politics. The National Audit Office says their efforts are “worthy of criticism”. It is serious. One of the government’s most important responsibilities is to cut emissions in the face of a global climate crisis, but the implementation is failing, says secretary general of the WWF World Wide Fund for Nature, Karoline Andaur.
