Title Climate and energy strategy for the county of Norrbotten 2020–2024 Photographs Johnér, Mostphotos Authors Ylva Sardén, Ida Heintz, Paulina Henriksson Contact person Sophie Forsberg Johansson County Administrative Board of Norrbotten County, 971 86 Luleå Contact information +46 (0)10-225 50 00, [email protected] www.lansstyrelsen.se Report number 7/2019 ISSN 0283-9636 2 Foreword Climate change is one of the greatest challenges of our time. 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.

    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.

High mountain environment has specific features defined by Carl Troll. The presence of timberline (upper tree line) and a glacial origin of landforms are considered as the most important features of high mountains. The Scandianavian Mountains and Tatra Mountains comply with the above definition of the high mountain environment. Both mountain chains were glaciated in Pleistocene : the Fennos- candian Ice Sheet covered the northern part of Europe including the Scandinavian Peninsula while mountain glaciers occurred in the highest part of the Carpathian Mountains.
