The aim of the project was to support climate leadership and management work in the Barents region by sharing good practices and discussing with regional and municipal actors what would be needed for more impactful climate work.

As a result of the project, a set of support materials for climate management and sustainable procurement in municipalities was translated from Finnish into Swedish and English. The cooperation needs identified are summarized in the project overview.
