In Tromso, Norway on this day, October 3, 1993, we the duly authorized representatives for the member regions of The Northern Forum, hereby pledge to present for adoption in our regional home governments, the goals and plans for future action in the North, adopted here at the conclusion of the 1st Northern Forum Conference. It is the intention of The Northern Forum to outline clearly our role regarding the Northern and Arctic regions in connection with the sustainable development strategies being developed under the United Nations Agenda 21 process. This statement shall be known as the Tromso Declaration. It is based on the belief that the people of the North, through joint knowledge and efforts, are essential partners on the local, national and international level in both the protection of the Northern environment and the sustainable development, as defined in the Brundtland Commission Report, of our regions. We are determined to shape a better future for our regions together.
