Abstract:
The world is
in need of increasingly more energy in order to achieve economic growth and get
people out of poverty. Expert estimates tell us that we will depend on fossil
fuels as a dominating part of the energy mix for decades to come. This implies
increased emissions of greenhouse gases. The challenge facing us is thus: how
can we secure energy supply and at the same time meet the climate challenge.
Norway firmly believes this is achievable. We combine the role of being a big producer of oil
and gas with ambitions and plans to meet the climate challenge.
