The Nordic Report 01

The Nordic Report 01, produced in 2018, introduces the purpose and scope of the SUSTAINORDIC network. The report highlights good examples of sustainable production and consumption from across the Nordic region – ranging from urban development to material choices and design processes. It is intended to inspire decision-makers, academia and the public sector.

SUSTAINORDIC ↗ is a Nordic platform and network for sustainable consumption and production. It was established in 2015 through a joint initiative by ArkDes and Form/Design Center ↗ in collaboration with five other Nordic architecture and design organisations. The network operates in accordance with the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goal 12 ↗ in Agenda 2030, and is based on a shared Nordic manifesto with twelve sub-targets linked to ongoing projects that address sustainability in the built environment.

The project is financed by the Nordic Council of Ministers ↗ and primarily targets policymakers, politicians and academia. ArkDes and Form/Design Center ↗ initiated and co-owned the project, with ArkDes serving as the administrative body until 2020. Since 2021, the platform has been managed and developed by Form/Design Center ↗.
