Scandinavia - Kyoto Protocol
Have a look at these two graphs. Plenty to discuss here.
Norway was one of a number of countries who were allowed to increase their emissions as part of the Kyoto Protocol (the others included Sweden, Iceland and Australia). Although this decision was largely political (as they were dragging their feet over signing), Norway also made the point that as they already produce 42% of their energy from HEP they would find it very hard to cut emissions further - particularly as they were planning three new gas-fired power stations over the next few years. Detail about why their emissions have continued to rise can be found here.
Sweden was also allowed to increase emissions by 4%. This was due to their plans to decomission their nuclear reactors and hence would be relying more heavily on fossil-fuels. However, their overall emissions have fallen dramatically due to huge reduction in coal and oil use and an increase in biomass / biogas (Figure 13). There is plans for a huge incresase in wind power.
