New Nordic Climate Solutions at COP21 – latest edition of “Green Growth the Nordic Way”

26.11.15 | News
COP21 in Paris will be a defining moment for the development of life and human activity on our planet. The Nordic Council of Ministers hosts a common Nordic pavilion at the COP negotiation venue under the heading “New Nordic Climate Solutions”. The aim is to contribute to the climate dialogue – from a Nordic perspective, but with a global outlook. This issue of “Green Growth the Nordic Way” zooms in on the Nordic participation at COP21.

Individually and collectively, the five Nordic countries have some of the most ambitious energy and climate policy agendas in the world, having set challenging targets and milestones along the road to creating a truly sustainable energy system.

Two of the four articles in this issue of “Green Growth the Nordic Way” deal with energy: the Nordic electricity market, the most integrated regional market of its kind worldwide, and Nordic energy cooperation as such, respectively.

The other two articles deal with issues of a more global nature, describing the contributions of the Nordic Council of Ministers to the work on fossil fuel subsidy reform and to the effort on climate financing via NAMA’s, nationally appropriate mitigation actions.
