Nordic-Russian call for use of scientific, traditional and local knowledge to support communities and their livelihoods in the Arctic – feasibility study for co-production between researchers and local indigenous communities
Nordic countries are at the forefront of the green transition and are leading the way in the development of a more sustainable economy. But some regions succeed better than others. Why is this so, and how can other regions learn from them?
The Nordic countries have committed themselves to ambitious climate goals towards 2050 in terms of developing energy efficient and low-carbon societies. To achieve these goals, extensive green transitions are needed in all areas of the Nordic societies and economies, facilitated by promoting green economic growth, sustainability and competitiveness in both the public and the private sectors.
