Nordic cooperation for Environment and Climate
The Nordic region has long tradition of political cooperation through the Nordic Council of Ministers. The vision 2030 seeks to make the Nordic region will become the most sustainable and integrated region in the world in 2030.
Environment and climate ministers from Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, and Sweden assemble in the Council of Ministers for the Environment and Climate.
The Council of Ministers for the Environment and Climate have approved a new governing document for the work 2025–2030. The cooperation assumes that the Nordic region will continue to be a leader in the green transition and a globally competitive and socially sustainable region. Three goals based on what the UN calls the ”triple crisis” – climate, biodiversity and pollution – point out the political direction and ambition. 12 underlying targets focus on international processes, as well as area-specific and cross-cutting perspectives and solutions.
The Swedish Environmental Protection Agency participates in the Nordic cooperation regarding
- Climate and Air
- Nature (Biodiversity and Nature-based Solutions)
- Plastic Pollution
- Environmental Economics
