What was once true of yesterday is not the case today and especially not tomorrow. Therefore, we must be responsive, alert and flexible so that we dare to prioritise, also when conditions change, and we shall adapt the society to the future. The climate issue is of course extensive and complicated, but it also presents opportunities to develop solutions for energy and climate change adaptation that can contribute to both sustainable development and economic growth. In addition, we have the opportunity to discuss and coordinate on issues that have often been seen as opposites. At the same time, the climate goal has a deadline and must be prio- ritised since the reality is that the problem is rapidly reaching a point where the effects of emissions will be of a lasting or irreversible nature. This means that if we take too long discussing and coordina- ting without getting down to action, stopping all forms of emissions will no longer make a difference. The aim of Norrbotten’s climate and energy strategy is to keep the increase of the earth’s average temperature to well below two degrees. To achieve this, we are adopting the same goal set at national level - to have no net greenhouse gas emissions by 2045, everything else would mean shifting the responsibility to someone else. There are great opportunities to change society’s energy supply and to use the earth’s resources both more efficiently and sustainably in the long-term. An important objective of Norrbotten’s climate and energy strategy is to identify and make the most of Norrbotten’s unique conditions in order to contribute to the transformation of the energy system and to the reduction of climate emissions through sustainable business development. Another tool in this work consists of the Global Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and Agenda 2030. The global goals balance the three dimensions of sustainable development: the economic dimension, the social dimension and the environmental dimension. In 2018, the County Administrative Board of Norrbotten County signed a declaration of intent in which, together with Region Norrbotten and the county’s municipalities, it undertakes to inform, promote and contribute to the implementation of Agenda 2030. September 30th, 2019, Luleå Björn O. Nilsson Nils-Olov Lindfors Country Governor of Norrbotten County Regional Council, Region Norrbotten (C) Vision 2045 Norrbotten is a competitive, sustainable and attractive county where resource-efficient goods and services form the basis for growth. The activities in the county do not contribute to the increase in global temperatures and the energy supply is based on renewable sources. 3 Table of Contents Foreword .................................................................................................................................................3 Summary .................................................................................................................................................6 Introduction ...........................................................................................................................................8 Zero must mean zero ................................................................................................................................................8 Collaboration for effective joint work ..................................................................................................................9 Limitations .....................................................................................................................................................................9 Norrbotten: part of the world ....................................................................................................... 11 Agenda 2030 and the Global Sustainable Development Goals ...............................................................11 Goals for the Swedish climate and energy policy .........................................................................................12 National and regional strategies and plans .....................................................................................................12 The situation in Norrbotten ........................................................................................................... 14 The level of knowledge about climate change ..............................................................................................14 The development of greenhouse gas emissions, energy production and energy use...........................14 What have we arrived at? ............................................................................................................... 18 Strategic orientations ..............................................................................................................................................19 Focus and policy areas ............................................................................................................................................20 Appendices .......................................................................................................................................... 34 Appendix 1: Method description ........................................................................................................................34 Appendix 2: Summary of results from the workshops ................................................................................36 Appendix 3: Environmental quality, climate and energy goals ...............................................................38 Appendix 4: National and regional strategies/plans ....................................................................................40 Appendix 5: Different principles for resource use .........................................................................................44 4 Summary The climate and energy strategy shall serve as guidance and support in order to develop and implement measures to achieve Sweden’s climate and energy goals. It shall also serve as a platform for coopera- tion in energy and climate issues between the county’s actors and highlight a common direction for the work. Furthermore, the strategy shall contribute to the alignment of measures and plans towards the same goals as well as provide support for priorities. The strategy shall be a tool for integrating climate and energy issues into the regional development and growth work, in environmental impact assessments, environmental inspection work, community planning and in the work on an infrastructure that promotes sustainability. The aim of Norrbotten’s climate and energy strategy to keep the increase of the earth’s average tempe- rature to well below two degrees. To achieve this, the same goal that applies at national level has been adopted - no net greenhouse gas emissions by 2045. Norrbotten has also adopted the national level goals in terms of energy usage. Energy use shall be 50 percent more efficient by 2030 compared to 2005, and the county’s electricity production shall be 100 percent renewable by 2040. Strategic orientations and focus and policy areas Focus and priorities are required in order for the work aimed at achieving the climate and energy goals to be effective and effectual. One way to achieve this is to firstly prioritise efforts that reduce energy use, then efforts that improve the efficiency of energy use and, finally, efforts that ensure that the energy used comes from renewable sources. The dialogues and discussions that form the basis of the strategy have clarified a large number of areas that need to be covered and highlighted in order for Norrbotten to be in a position to contribute to meeting the national and international climate and energy goals. The starting point for the work and focus areas has consisted of the five sectors that together form part of the Swedish Energy Agency’s long-term efforts to achieve resource-efficient energy use. Specific policy areas have been identified for Norrbotten on the basis of these, see below. In addition to the policy areas below, important strategic orientations have been identified, such as stan- dardisation in relation to the need for flexibility and the need to find ways to communicate sustainability. Fossil-free transport • To promote the use and development of coordinated transport in order to streamline the overall need for transport. • To work to create nodes for mixed loading, intermodality and community service. • To promote the development of fossil-free fuels from regional residue resources. • To promote the use of fossil fuel for aviation. • To promote investment in railway infrastructure, e.g. Norrbotniabanan. • To promote the opportunities for shipping to operate as an attractive means of transport. • To promote investment in pedestrian, bicycle and public transport. • To create a countywide infrastructure for renewable fuels and charging points.

  • Destination Management Organizations
    Destination Management Organizations And Their Effect on Japanese Tourism to Norrbotten County Department of Business Administration International Business Bachelor thesis Spring 2014 Markus Jansson 880614-7511 Håkan Jernberg 900323-5778 Tutor: Inge Ivarsson Abstract The purpose of this thesis is to study the work of destination management organizations, henceforth called DMOs, in Norrbotten, Sweden’s northernmost county. Specifically, the thesis examines how the work of these organizations has affected the Japanese tourism to the region, which has been growing in the last few years. To accomplish this, previous research on destination development, DMOs, and factors for attracting Japanese tourism to rural regions was turned into a model for DMO success. The model consists of three categories of activities that DMOs should work with: Marketing, Cooperation and Development. The thesis takes on a qualitative approach and the empirical data gathered was based on semi-structured interviews undertaken with representatives from four DMOs that all had an outspoken focus on the Japanese market. The questions concerned these categories, and factors within them aimed at the Japanese market. The empirical data collected in these interviews was complemented with bed night statistics from Statistics Sweden, henceforth known as SCB, and previous studies and reports that were relevant to the research. The data show that the DMOs engaged in work that fitted into all three of the model’s categories. The DMOs worked with jointly marketing their destinations, ensuring cooperation between a range of actors and each other, and supporting the development of their destinations in a variety of ways. For the Japanese market, the DMOs promoted the attributes that, according to theory, are considered attractive by Japanese tourists, worked directly with Japanese actors at the destination and in Japan, maintained contacts with these actors, and aided in the development of the destination for the Japanese market by upgrading human resources for work towards the Japanese market.

  • The National Minority Languages in Sweden – Their Status in Legislation and in Practice
    Lena Ekberg The national minority languages in Sweden – their status in legislation and in practice Abstract: De nationella minoritetsspråken i Sverige – deras status i lagstiftning och i praktiken År 2000 blev finska, jiddisch, meänkieli, romani chib och samiska nationella minoritetsspråk i Sverige, i samband med att regeringen undertecknade Europarådets minoritetsspråkskonvention. Finska, meänkieli och samiska identifierades som territoriella språk och fick en högre skyddsgrad än de icke-territoriella språken jiddisch och romani chib. Det finns betydande skillnader mellan de fem nationella minoritets- språken vad gäller inte bara laglig status utan också beträffande antal talare och attityder från majoritets- befolkningen. Finska, som är det i särklass största minoritetsspråket och det andra största språket i Sverige, har en stabil position i det svenska samhället men har samtidigt blivit i viss mån “osynligt”. Meänkieli och samiska, särskilt sydsamiska, är de språk som är akut mest utrotningshotade. Jiddisch har mycket få modersmålstalare, men den judiska minoriteten utgör å andra sidan en välorganiserad grupp. Lägst status i majoritetssamhället har (fortfarande) den romska gruppen och det romska språket. In year 2000 Sweden ratified the European Charter for Regional and Minority Lan- guages. Five languages were officially recognised as national minority languages, namely Finnish, Meänkieli (Tornedalian Finnish), Yiddish, Romany and Sami. Com- mon for these languages is that they have been spoken in Sweden for hundreds of years. Sami, Meänkieli and Finnish were identified as regional languages, in contrast to Yiddish and Romany. Sami, Meänkieli and Finnish are historically spoken in the Norrbotten County. Finnish is also spoken in industrial districts along the coast of Norrbotten, in Stockholm and the district of Mälardalen and in the big cities in general.

  • OECD Mining Regions and Cities Case Study: Västerbotten and Norrbotten, Sweden
    Policy Highlights OECD Mining Regions and Cities Case Study: Västerbotten and Norrbotten, Sweden @OECD_local 1 Introduction These policy highlights provide a summary of the OECD Mining Regions and Cities Case Study of Västerbotten and Norrbotten. Together both sub-regions form the larger region of Upper Norrland in Sweden. This study is part of an OECD project that has built a platform for knowledge sharing and co-operation on increasing productivity and enhancing the well- being of cities and regions with a specialisation in mining and extractive industries. Sweden's most northern region, Upper Norrland, is one of the most important mining regions in Europe. It is the largest producer of iron ore in Europe providing roughly 90% of the European Union's iron (EU) and also has the largest mineral reserves in the country, containing 9 of the country's 12 active mines. Amongst the two sub-regions, Västerbotten is more densely populated and has a more diversified economy, while Norrbotten is larger in terms of land surface and more specialised in mining, concentrating most of the active mines and production volumes in Sweden. Upper Norrland has the potential to become a global leader in environmentally conscious mining due to a range of competitive advantages. These include: 1) a pool of large mining companies that work closely with research centres and universities on reducing emissions and waste production across the mining value chain; 2) a highly skilled labour force, 3) a stable supply of green energy from hydropower and 4) high quality broadband coverage. Unlocking this potential will allow Sweden and the region to contribute to global climate agendas and the EU's self-sufficiency strategy of raw materials.
