1. Support technological development in renewable energy, energy storage, and energy efficiency in Northern regions and set renewable energy targets that support sustainable economic growth in the ND area.

2. Work towards an effective, ambitious, durable international climate agreement in Paris in December 2015 that is applicable to all, with the determination to work to limit the increase in global average temperature to below two degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels.

3. Support the ND Environmental Partnership´s (NDEP) efforts on energy efficiency and environmental protection in the ND area.

4. Recognise the key role of the NDEP in successfully implementing projects with high cross-boundary environmental benefits in the ND region in its environmental and nuclear windows, contributing significantly to the health of the Baltic Sea and reducing the risk of nuclear hazards in the Barents region.

5. Support effective implementation of NDEP projects, noting that as NDEP projects have led to 98.5% of wastewaters in St Petersburg now being treated, the closest attention must be drawn to the swift completion of the Kaliningrad Wastewater Treatment Plant.

6. Take actions for the mitigation of black carbon emissions due to their detrimental impact on the Arctic ice shelf and consider utilizing NDEP experience for the implementation of concrete measures for cutting the black carbon emissions by modernization of heating facilities in the Barents region.

7. Call on International Financial Institutions to find solutions to continue with the financing of new projects with environmental cross-border effect in the whole region within the Northern Dimension Environmental Partnership.
