Description
Summary:This report is a co-production of an expert group set up by the Prime Ministers of Norway, Sweden and Finland in April 2014. Norway, Sweden and Finland share common economic, environmental and social interests in the Scandinavian Arctic. This report defines four drivers of growth and offers four instruments for the Governments of Norway, Sweden and Finland to use to secure sustainable economic growth in the North. Four drivers: 1) LNG (Liquefied Natural Gas) and renewables, 2) greener mining solutions, 3) increased tourism, and 4) ice and cold climate solutions. Four instruments: 1) one regulatory framework, 2) one pool of talent and labour, 3) one long-term transport and infrastructure plan, and 4) one voice in Arctic matters.
