Oslo, Norway, monitors and protects the city’s blue-green infrastructure to ensure that forests, large trees, watersheds and other natural elements are maintained and enhanced.
Part of Oslo’s climate strategy is to protect and enhance the natural “carbon-banks” found in the city’s forests. Oslo has set requirements for monitoring and protecting the city’s blue-green infrastructure to ensure that forests, large trees, watersheds and other natural elements are maintained and enhanced. The city is committed to ensuring that the public procurement process is driving a global transition to more sustainable production and consumption. As such, all of the city’s procurements will contribute to its goal to become a zero-emission city. Through using a life-cycle approach, where climate and environmental consequences are assessed from production through use and retirement, we will drive more sustainable supply chains for food and materials, and address key drivers of tropical deforestation. Oslo will not purchase tropical timber or wood unless the products can be certified as coming from sustainable and legal sources.
