Glasgow / Nannestad (Aftenboston): The United States and Norway have teamed up to invest in tropical forests over time. The difference is that the United States does the same domestically. Norway spends a few million.

Boreal northern coniferous forests in Norway absorb at least CO as rainforests grow and store more carbon in the forest floor.
