MAPPING OF GREEN ENERGY TEST FACILITIES AND DEMONSTRATION SITES
“The Nordic Region – leading in green growth” is the Nordic Prime Ministers’
shared green growth initiative under the auspices of the Nordic Council of
Ministers.
Green growth is a key priority for Nordic co-operation in the next few years
and Nordic partnerships in this field has the potential to create a larger
regional market, give a political lead in the EU, improve joint infrastructures
and provide critical mass for future developments.
The Nordic Prime Ministers’ green growth initiative is a vision based on the
joint utilization of Nordic strengths in a number of areas including:
• Energy efficiency and climate
• Waste treatment and food waste
• Sustainable building and ecodesign
• Investment in innovation and research
• Green public procurement and green investments
This exhibition highlights aims and results from the following projects under
“The Nordic Region – leading in green growth”:
1. Developing Nordic test centres for green solutions
2. Working together on education, training and research for green growth
3. Promoting flexible consumption of electricity
4. Working together on green-technology norms and standards
5. Working together on green procurement in the public sector
6. Developing techniques and methods for waste treatment
7. Promoting the integration of environmental and climate
considerations into development aid
8. Co-ordinating and improving funding for green investment
and companies.
