Norway’s capital city Oslo, home to over 670,000 people, is pushing forward with a range of measures to improve air quality for the city’s inhabitants.
Oslo is one of 42 cities who take part in Breathe Life, a campaign led by the WHO, UN Environment and the Climate & Clean Air Coalition that inspires cities and individuals to protect our health and planet from the effects of air pollution.
Zero-emission vehicles play a key part in the city’s strategy to reduce carbon dioxide equivalents by 95 per cent in 2030.
All public transport in Oslo and neighbouring Akershus county is to be powered exclusively by renewable energy by 2020.
Since 2012, electric vehicles have contributed to a 35 per cent decrease in carbon dioxide emissions in the city, improving air quality and public health. Oslo now has the highest number of electric vehicles in the world per capita.
