Icelandic Environment and Energy Agency is responsible for measuring and reporting Iceland‘s emissions of greenhouse gases and carbon uptake by afforestation and other means. Here you can see numbers and trends.
The Environment Agency of Iceland was dissolved on December 31, 2024. On January 1, 2025, the Icelandic Environment and Energy Agency and the Nature Conservation Agency of Iceland commenced operations. More information. A pollution hazard at sea must be reported to the Icelandic Coast Guard, tel. 511-3333.
On January 1, 2025, the Icelandic Environment and Energy Agency and the Nature Conservation Agency of Iceland commenced operations. More information. A pollution hazard at sea must be reported to the Icelandic Coast Guard, tel. 511-3333. A pollution hazard on land must be reported to the police, tel. 112.
Iceland‘s emissions profile is in many ways unusual. Almost all heating and electricity generation is provided for by renewables – hydro and geothermal energy. Iceland has great potential for carbon uptake from the atmosphere by afforestation and revegetation, and to curb emissions from soils by reclaiming drained wetlands.
