At the same time, the Barents region will face the impacts of a changing climate, particularly if the Paris Agreement will not be effective in limiting global greenhouse gas emissions. The transformation to a sustainable, low-carbon society will create both pressure for businesses to adapt to changing conditions and also offer a number of new opportunities and markets. Enhanced policy action is necessary to achieve the ambitious goals of the Paris Agreement and realize the opportunities in each sector. Political action is needed on national, regional, and municipal level, but these levels should work together and complement each other.

This study explores opportunities how the most important economic sectors in the Barents region could contribute to the mitigation action. In addition, we explore possible benefits, threats, and risks that climate change and and climate change mitigation poses to these sectors in the Barents region.
