Nordic Council of Ministers
@nordenorg.bsky.social
The Nordic Council of Ministers is the official body for inter-governmental co-operation in the Nordic Region. Our vision is to make the Nordic Region the most sustainable and integrated region in the world by 2030. www.norden.org/nordic-council-ministers
A strong NGO sector is essential for any democracy. NGOs defend rights, give voice to communities and help societies face new challenges. In the Nordic‑Baltic region, civil society is a strategic strength. As Eugenija Kovaliova says, NGOs are our backbone.
Nordic–Baltic cooperation has been central since 1991, supporting Estonia’s democratic renewal and regional ties. As the Nordic Council of Ministers’ Office marks 35 years, Madis Kanarbik looks back. Learn more about the Nordic-Baltic collaboration: www.norden.org/en/nordic-co...
Different names, same purpose: Nordic–Baltic summer festivals bring people together to shape the future. Founder of the Lampa conversation festival, Ieva Morica, reminds us that democracy is something we must actively work for.
A new report highlights growing risks to Nordic energy security — from cyber threats to supply‑chain vulnerabilities. As demand surges, deeper Nordic cooperation is key to building resilience. Thoughts? Report: www.norden.org/sv/news/ny-r...
