Norway plans to buy greenhouse gas quotas for public officials when they fly aboard to help curb global warming, Associated Press reports.
“We want to set an example,” Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg said. “If only a few do this, it means little. If many join in, it can mean a great deal.”
NTB estimated the cost of buying emission quotas for public employees on foreign flights would be roughly $400,000 (2.5 million kroner) per year.
