Development Metrics In Norway

Norway has paved the way as one of the world's foremost leaders in sustainability, both in their energy usage and in their sustainable development goals. Norway has recently come out with a 17 point sustainable development goal plan that they hope to achieve by 2030. This plan includes some high reaching goals including:

• eradicating extreme poverty
• promoting prosperity, peace, and environmental justice
• protecting planetary boundaries
• increasing high-school completion rates
• improving urban air quality
• halving food waste and reducing the "waste generation"
• reducing the impact of invasive species
• reducing emissions by 40% by 2030 
• compared to 1990 levels 

Norway has also been able to retain over a quarter of its land as wild forests. This is a testament on its own to Norway's commitment to sustainable development.
