Goal 1: Art and cultural actors in the Nordic Region must have suitable conditions to pursue environmentally friendly forms of artistic and cultural production, dissemination and distribution

A Green Nordic Region

Art, culture and knowledge of cultural heritage provide different perspectives and help us understand how we can manage climate change, biodiversity loss and pollution, both on land and at sea. Art and culture have a role to play in the transition towards more sustainable lifestyles. Nordic initiatives within the cultural arena must contribute towards removing barriers to the green transition and they must facilitate the exchange of experiences and new models for more future-focused and climate-neutral practices in the production, dissemination and distribution of art and culture.

The Nordic Green Roadmap for Cultural Institutions is an example of a trans-Nordic initiative for a green transition of the cultural sector.

The cultural and creative industries play an important role in this. Cultural co-operation must place focus on vulnerable cultural heritage in line with international conventions.
