The aim of the Nordic Council of Ministers’ Arctic Cooperation Programme 2018–2021 is to create sustainable and constructive development in the Arctic and for its people based on the four P’s: planet, peoples, prosperity and partnerships.

It is central to the Nordic Council of Ministers’ Arctic Cooperation Programme 2018–2021 that specific needs of the Arctic will be accommodated and that the programme will contribute to the region’s sustainable development. In this context, the Agenda 2030 and the 17 global sustainable development goals adopted by the UN General Assembly in 2015 play a significant role.

In 2020 the Nordic Council of Ministers funded 20 different projects through the Arctic Cooperation Programme for a total amount of 6.767.000 DKK. Among the various project teams and consortiums are different leading institutions in Arctic affairs, newly established Arctic youth organisations, NGOs, artists, universities, associations of indigenous people and entrepreneurs from the Nordic region and beyond.
