An inclusive, sustainable, innovative, secure and open Nordic region.
This is the starting point for when Sweden assumes the Presidency of the Nordic Council of Ministers in 2018. Digitalisation is a recurrent theme. In 2018, four projects will be launched which are linked to the Swedish presidency programme in areas where they see a clear added value in stepping up Nordic co-operation and exchange of experiences. These involve solutions for remote health care and e-Prescriptions across borders, measures to promote young people’s social inclusion and democratic participation, climate-smart mobility in cities, and wooden construction and sustainable design.
Climate-smart mobility
All Nordic countries need to adapt their transport sectors to become fossil-free. Co-operation is necessary to facilitate sustainable cross-border transportation between our countries. The third Swedish presidency project will promote climate-smart mobility in Nordic cities. The aim is to contribute to sustainable urban development by supporting the transition to fossil-free transport in Nordic cities and urban regions.
Climate-smart mobility in Nordic cities includes five sub-projects:
- Launch of the Presidency project and final conference on sustainable cities focusing on climate-friendly travel and transport.
- Compile good examples and make recommendations on the possibility of increasing zero emissions vehicles in cities.
- Dialogue meetings, exchange of experiences and recommendations on creating conditions for attractive and climate-friendly transport in cities.
- Exchange of experience, best practices and find solutions for charging electric vehicles in cities.
- Development of a database with information on charging stations for electric vehicles.
