Inter-municipal political council for Lofoten
Lofoten Green Islands 2030 is the name of the growth strategy leading up to 2030. The strategy highlights the six defined program areas for development in and around Lofoten as a region. The goal of Lofoten Council is to make cooperation between the municipalities stronger to achieve net zero emissions development in the Lofoten region. The roadmap is governed by the premise that it provides opportunities and support for the Green Shift, i.e. green restructuring and local green value creation, through coordinated efforts and cooperation. It aims to minimize the barriers that slow down the Green Shift, making it easier to choose green solutions for the future.
