This report presents the findings of a study of the various approaches taken by the Nordic countries to involve the private sector in national strategies to achieve climate targets. As part of their climate mitigation strategies, each Nordic country has engaged the private sector in climate action through specific government-led public-private collaboration initiatives. The report’s primary objective was to analyze and compare the diverse strategies adopted by Nordic governments to seek input from the business and industry sectors in the form of roadmaps developed in coordination with public authorities. In all the Nordic countries such sector roadmaps are viewed as important components of public policies to achieve national climate targets.
