Nordic Co-operation on Sustainable Consumption and Production

In the autumn of 2010 the Nordic prime ministers collectively called for a global shift towards green growth. The Nordic countries will together create the conditions for saving the climate while also creating economic growth and new green jobs. A common borderless electricity market, energy-efficient innovative solutions in construction, and a continued focus on green R&D are priorities. The Nordic countries should also exploit their environmental technologies to enhance competitiveness while reducing oil imports and CO2 emissions.
