Societal Security is top of mind for all Nordic Governments, especially in these uncertain times. The Nordic Council of Ministers serves as a platform to drive shared political priorities & to create added Nordic value to national preparedness work.
The Nordic region strives to become a more integrated region, and many of the challenges we face, both known and still unknown, extend across national borders and sectors of society. In the Nordic region, we share a common responsibility for addressing these challenges.
Work on societal security spans a wide range of areas, from the supply of food, energy and medicines to secure access to infrastructure. At the same time, we place democratic values and trust at the centre, as they form the foundation of a resilient society.
Energy redundancy and flexibility are absolutely critical factors for resilience, preparedness, and supply.
Our goal is to: Keep developing an even more efficient and innovative Nordic electricity market and ensure high energy supply security for Nordic consumers and businesses.
The Nordic-Baltic region promotes a human-centered digital transformation to ensure resilient societies.
Our goal is to: Promote cooperation between Nordic-Baltic actors on Cyber-and Information Security
As frontrunners, with secure exchange of health data and data driven research and innovation, we want to strengthen our health systems, our research, our resiliens and develop the welfare system for the common good.
Our goal is to: Strengthen resilience and sustainability for a secure welfare system
We stand united in improving robustness, and resilience in our food supply chains.
Our goal is to: Step up cooperation to bolster our common knowledge and understanding of how to uphold the food supply in the Nordic countries
Several ministerial declarations have touched upon Societal Security in recent years
