Abstract:

State of the Environment Norway ("http://www.environment.no/" provides the latest information about the state and development of the environment. The service presents environmental topics in a simple and easy-to-follow way and provides access to more detailed scientific presentations. SOE Norway contains information about legislation and international agreements, environmental targets, references and relevant links. In addition the latest data sets can be download. All information and all data in State of the Environment Norway have been quality checked. The Ministry of the Environment has assigned the production of State of the Environment Norway to the environmental authorities. The Norwegian Pollution Control Authority has the overall editorial responsibility. The content has been produced and quality checked by the respective environmental agencies. The Directorate for Nature Management is responsible for the topics on "biological diversity" and "outdoor recreation", while the Directorate for Cultural Heritage is responsible for the topic on "cultural heritage". The Norwegian Polar Institute has prepared the topic about "polar regions", and the Norwegian Pollution Control Authority is responsible for "water", "hazardous chemicals", "climate and ozone", "noise", "air pollution", "waste" and "international co-operation". The Norwegian Mapping Authority has provided most of the maps. GRID-Arendal has assisted in the development of State of the Environment Norway. Statistics Norway, the Norwegian Institute for Water Research, the Norwegian Institute for Air Research, the Norwegian Institute for Nature Research and the Norwegian Institute for Cultural Heritage Research have supplied the service with data. Data includes: Air polloution - acid rain - ground level ozone - local air pollution Biological Diversity - animal and plant biodiversity - nature and land use Climate and Ozone - ozone layer - global mean temperature - GHG emissions - impacts Cultural Heritage - archaeological sites - arcitectural heritage - cultural environment - world heritage Hazardous Chemicals - dangerous substances (over 3000 cataloged) - endocrine disruption - regulations Noise Pollution Outdoor Recreation Polar Regions - polar climate - pollution - wildlife - Svalbard - geology, landscape, protected areas Waste - hazardous waste - waste and recycling - imports and exports Water Pollution - eutrophication - hazardous chemicals in coastal waters - ocean pollution - petroleum activities The SOE Norway data is available from "http://www.environment.no/"
