Positive trends - with important exceptions

Economic growth and increasing consumption are often considered the main causes of adverse environmental development. The Norwegian economy has grown considerably in the last decade, but there are still several positive aspects concerning the state of the environment: Discharges of plant nutrients to the North Sea have been reduced, the deposition of acidifying substances is lower and waste treatment and disposal methods have been improved. On the other hand, emissions of greenhouse gases have increased, as well as discharges of oil from petroleum activities.
