Norway Gives Tanzania $100 Mln For Forests

Norway will give Tanzania $100 million over five years to cut deforestation in the east African country and try to reduce carbon emissions blamed for climate change, according to a deal signed on Monday. Norway, the world's number five oil exporter, plans to make its economy "carbon Neutral" by 2030, partly by buying emissions quotas abroad to offset its own greenhouse gas production.
