INFORSE-Europe and its partners, including Ecohome NGO, dig into a new project ‘Sufficiency as Climate Action and for Sustainable Lifestyles in Nordic & Baltic Countries and Belarus 2025-26‘.
This project aims to stabilise global temperatures, we need additional climate action, and the purpose of the project is to work for inclusion of a new category of climate action, in the form of sufficiency policies with the objective of having these policies included in climate actions in the Nordic-Baltic countries.
The sufficiency policies include policies for reductions of consumption for instance of transport, housing, and goods as well as policies for replacement of more resource-consuming consumption, as replacing car travel with bicycling for shorter distances.
The project will collect sufficiency policies and practices, including from environmental and consumer organisations. This will be used to develop concrete proposals how sufficiency policies could attract and mobilize consumers. The project will also organize dialogues with environmental and youth CSOs, develop national and a regional policy proposals, present for Nordic parliamentarians, and organize outreach including a youth camp in Latvia and a Nordic-Baltic seminar.
The partners of the NGO cooperation Project are:
- INFORSE-Europe (coordinator) in Denmark

- The Norwegian Society for the Conservation of Nature — Norges Naturvernforbundet in Norway
