Scaling up best Nordic low-carbon solutions to reduce emissions globally

How much emissions could be reduced, if best Nordic low-carbon solutions were scaled up globally? This high-level event presents the flagship report Nordic Green to Scale developed jointly with distinguished partners in all five Nordic countries. The report demonstrates that we already have many tools available to cut emissions, covering 15 best practice Nordic low-carbon solutions and their scalability and emissions savings potential.

The results of the Nordic Green to Scale study are presented by Sitra’s Senior Advisor Oras Tynkkynen, who has already been to 17 COPs since Kyoto in 1997. Other speakers contributing to the dialogue on green growth include

H.E. Mr Kimmo Tiilikainen, Minister of Agriculture and the Environment of Finland
Mr Ólafur Ragnar Grímsson, Former President of Iceland
Mr Dagfinn Høybråten, Secretary General, the Nordic Council of Ministers
Mr Jens Joel, Member of the Parliament of Denmark
Mrs Mari Pantsar, Director, the Finnish Innovation Fund Sitra
Representative of the Kingdom of Morocco (TBC)
