Measures to reduce carbon emissions
To keep our planet’s temperature below breaking point, various measures to reduce carbon emissions have been taken nationally and internationally and include the creation of compliance and voluntary environmental markets.
- Their aim is to reduce the amount of carbon emissions and other greenhouse gas emissions by creating economic incentives for emission reduction measures.
- Statkraft has signed the Climate Neutral Now pledge, an initiative launched by UN Climate Change. As part of this, emission reduction targets have been set and unavoidable emissions are offset through certified emission reductions.
