Four nations, four cities take 'climate neutral'(?) pledge

CN Net's founding members admitted facing unique problems on the road to "zero emissions" economies.

Norway's dominate challenge, for example, is curbing oil- and gas-related emissions, whereas for New Zealand, agriculture represents 50 percent of its current greenhouse gases.

New Zealand's tens of millions of livestock are major producers of methane, an even more potent greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide (CO2).

The country has said it will generate 90 percent of its electricity from renewable sources by 2025, and halve per capita transport emissions by 2040 through the use of electric cars and biofuels.

CN Net "signifies a major step forward in creating a coordinated global response to climate change," said Climate Change Minister David Parker.

Norway's goal is to become climate neutral by 2030, two decades ahead of a previously set deadline.

One third of that target will be achieved through carbon offsets, the investment in carbon-reducing projects around the globe, said Environment Minister Erik Solheim.
