Relevant Context
Norway, though not an EU member state, is preparing for collective delivery of the 40% emissions reductions commitment. The 28 Member States of the European Union submitted an NDC on behalf of Latvia and the European Commission. They are committed to the agreement from the Paris Conference in December 2015 in line with the below 2°C objective. The main sectors under coverage for the EU’s NDC are energy, industrial processes and product use, agriculture, waste, and, land use, land-use change and forestry (set out in Decision 529/2013/EU).
Process for Developing NDC
The EU NDC has been prepared through consultation and dialogue with the Government’s Advisory and Technical Committees, which include a range of stakeholders including line ministries, Planning Commission, technical departments, professionals, experts, and the private sector. The EU and its Member States note a commitment to a binding target of an at least 40% domestic reduction in GHGs by 2030 compared to 1990, to be fulfilled jointly, as set out in the conclusions by the European Council of October 2014. Policy on how to include Land Use, Land Use Change and Forestry into the 2030 greenhouse gas mitigation framework will be established as soon as technical conditions allow and in any case before 2020.

Process for Developing NDC
Norway's parliament approved the emissions reduction target in 2015, and adopted it in 2017. In regard to the enhanced target, “the government has communicated to the Parliament that it intends to update and enhance its climate target for 2030.”
Description of Monitoring and/or Implementation Mechanism
Parliament approved a strategy for implementation approved on April 26, 2018. Various taxing schemes, policies and measures are also in place to aid in successful implementation of the updated NDC.
Summary of Gender Reference
The section on planning processes refers to the 2018 Equality and Anti-Discrimination Act. The Act's purpose is to promote gender equality and provide protection against discrimination on the basis of gender, pregnancy, leave in connection with birth or adoption and care responsibilities. Women and men are to be given equal opportunities in education and work, and in their cultural and professional development.
