High North – regional civil preparedness cooperation
The civil preparedness efforts in the two northernmost regions of Finland, Sweden, and Norway are united under the High North Cooperation. The aim is to strengthen and expand this unique cooperation. Therefore, we exchange information and experiences, identify common risks, and organise joint events and train together.
Today’s geopolitical situation in the High North highlights that close cooperation is needed now more than ever. The inclusion of all nations in NATO has further strengthened cooperation and highlighted its necessity.
Together we are stronger in facing crises.
Our webinar series concludes in May with a high-profile final session featuring Martha Turnbull, Director of the Hybrid Influence Community of Interest at the European Centre of Excellence for Countering Hybrid Threats.
A Swedish delegation of military leaders, civilian authorities from all regions, and Sweden’s Ambassador to Norway visited Bodø in March.
The High North Cooperation (HNC) has released its annual report for 2025.
