organisation profile
The Norwegian Environment Agency is the largest agency under the Ministry of Environment, established on 1 July 2013 as a result of the merging of the Norwegian Climate and Pollution Agency and the Norwegian Directorate for Nature Management.
The Norwegian Environment Agency plays a key role in preserving nature, reducing pollution, and shaping Norwegian environmental policy. The functions are to monitor the state of the environment, convey environment-related information, exercise authority, oversee and guide regional and municipal authorities, collaborate with the authorities of relevant sectors, act as an expert advisor, and assist in international environmental efforts.
The sections primarily responsible for nature management are located in Trondheim, while the sections mainly responsible for climate and pollution issues are located in Oslo.
