Last year, The Norwegian Board of Technology recommended the introduction of climate footprint labelling of food products, similar to the scheme initiated by the British Carbon Trust. In the project KLIMAT, life cycle assessment methodology is further developed as a foundation for environmental and climate gas documentation of food, in order to influence the possible introduction of a climate footprint label.

In the last few years, Norges Fotballforbund (the Norwegian Soccer Association, NFF) has been a driving force regarding the construction of artificial grass soccer pitches in Norway. NFF is guiding the facility consultants about the establishment and operation of such facilities. The association now wishes to take on further responsibility regarding the construction and operation seen in a holistic, environmental perspective.
