Summary
The Norwegian government has recently produced the Norwegian Action Plan for Environment in Development Cooperation. The Action Plan fully supports the importance of developing countries setting their own priorities but also recognises that, as parties to a range of multilateral environmental agreements, donor countries have an obligation to support developing countries to meet their commitments under those agreements. Furthermore, the Action Plan covers the key environmental issues that one might expect - energy, water, climate change, hazardous waste - paying special attention to biodiversity conservation and sustainable management of natural resources. Like the majority of official development agencies, the overall purpose of Norway's development cooperation is to contribute to the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). Unlike many development agencies, however, Norway sees MDG 7 on ensuring environmental sustainability, as central to this success.
