Kvarken Council’s strategy 2030
Green transition
Actions
Our ongoing actions in the Green Transition focus area are as follows:
Working Committee for Energy
The Kvarken Council’s board can appoint necessary committees within the framework of the Kvarken Council’s activities. The working committees carry out concrete activities and initiatives that contribute to regional development. Their work ensures that collaboration continues even when there are no active projects bringing the stakeholders together. Establishing working committees is a concrete example of how we implement our organisation form, the EGTC.
