Adaptation decision-making in the Nordic countries: assessing the potential for joint action

This research paper examines the potential for the Nordic countries to cooperate on climate adaptation and the development of a regional adaptation strategy, noting the region's strong institutional capacity and relative resilience compared to other global regions.

• The Nordic region is considered relatively favorable in a global context due to its stronger resiliency to climate change impacts compared to other geo-political regions.
• Projected climatic changes for the region involve increases in precipitation and mean temperatures, though significant regional variations exist.
• The Nordic countries possess a strong capacity to adapt to climate change because of their robust economies and institutions, and while the need for adaptation remains substantial, progress has been made in most of the region.
