The report “Comparison and analysis of national climate change adaptation policies in the Nordic region” was commissioned by the Nordic Working Group for Environment and Economy (NME) within the Nordic Council of Ministers. The work has been conducted by Western Norway Research Institute in collaboration with Stockholm Environment Institute, University of Helsinki, and the Technical University of Denmark, based on a review and analysis of policy documents and interviews with national adaptation experts.

The policy recommendations presented here are directly drawn from the final two chapters of the report. The full report can be accessed here.
