About PECC

The Programme for Environment and Climate Co-operation (PECC), managed by the Nordic Environment Finance Corporation (NEFCO), provides grant financing, with co-financing requirements, to encourage and promote Nordic-Russian non-commercial co-operation projects addressing environment and climate at regional and local levels in Northwest Russia.

The purpose is to improve environment and climate in Northwest Russia and indirectly lead to improvements in the Nordic and Baltic countries and the whole Barents Region.

The programme forms part of the Nordic Council of Ministers’ (NCM) latest efforts to co-operate with Russia, as adopted by the Ministers for Nordic Co-operation at the start of 2016.
