Would collective Nordic climate policies make the goal of a sustainable Nordic region more attainable? And how do we ensure that the perspectives of children and youth, who will bear the brunt of climate change, are reflected in policymaking?

The Nordic countries have the collective ambition to become the most sustainable region in the world by 2030. Much has been achieved, but the road towards a green transition is still paved with major challenges. 

At present, the Nordic countries have differing climate strategies and targets. While Norway and Iceland aim for a 55% reduction in emissions (compared to 1990) by 2030, Denmark intends to cut emissions by 70%.

However, a study from 2021 revealed that the younger generations want increased Nordic cooperation on climate and environmental issues.

Participants:

  • Tinna Hallgrímsdóttir, Chair of the Icelandic Youth Environmentalists Association
  • Eva Dögg Davíðsdóttir, member of Nordic Youth Council
  • Hugi Ólafsson, Director of Department of Policy Coordination and International Affairs at the Ministry of the Environment, Energy and Climate
  • Bryndís Haraldsdóttir, Chairman of the Icelandic delegation to the Nordic Council

 

Moderator: Gunnar Dofri Ólafsson
