A new policy brief by Nordregio addresses the challenges and opportunities of the green transition in Nordic rural areas, emphasising the need for more fair approaches.
The brief underlines the significance of involving local communities in green projects to encourage a sense of ownership and fairness. It calls for early community involvement, clear communication, inclusive compensation strategies, recognition of non-monetary benefits, and using the flexibility of rural municipalities to their advantage.
The publication is an output of the recent ‘Just Green Transition in rural areas’ project, led by Nordregio, a leading Nordic research institute within the fields of regional development, policy and planning, and an official research entity of Eurostat.
