FUTURE KEEPERS OF THE HIGH NORTH

Future Keepers of the High North is an editorially independent series produced by a dedicated JONAA editorial team on both sides of the North Atlantic. The series is made with initial support, in part, from non-profit JONAA INITIATIVE Inc. and NORA (Nordic Atlantic Cooperation).

Nora is an intergovernmental organization under the regional cooperation program of the Nordic Council of Ministers that brings together Greenland, Iceland, the Faroe Islands, and coastal Norway, as stated on the organization’s webpage. The organization traces its roots to 1981 and the establishment of cooperation in the west Nordic area. It adopted the name NORA when coastal Norway joined in 1996. The NORA constituents are interlinked by their location, shared traits, and common challenges, in addition to multiple historical, institutional, and cultural ties.
NORA contributes to reinforcing regional cooperation to make the North Atlantic a strong and dynamic part of the Nordic region that is defined by its robust, sustainable economic development. NORA’s initiatives include strengthening cross-border collaboration between the private sector and research and development bodies. The NORA offices are based in Torshavn, the Faroe Islands.
