🇳🇴 Norway’s Greenhouse Gas Emissions

Population 5.58 Million, Europe.

Key Messages

• Emissions: Norway emitted around 57.2 megatonnes CO₂e in 2024, about 0.1% of the global total.
• Per person: Norway emitted around 10.3 tonnes per person per year in 2024, rated extremely high on a scale where any level above zero adds warming.
• Trend: Emissions fell by around 1.09% a year over the ten years to 2024, slower than the 4% yearly decline the world needs to achieve Net Zero in 2050 and limit warming to around 1.7 °C.
• What drives it: CO₂ makes up around 76% of emissions, methane 14%, nitrous oxide 7.3% and F-gases 2.3%.
• Historic responsibility: Since 1851, Norway’s emissions have produced around 5,330 megatonnes CO₂e of warming impact, 0.14% of the global total. This averaged around 9.8 tonnes per person per year, rated very high.
