The Northern Dimension concept covers a broad and diverse geographic area, stretching from the arctic and sub-arctic to the southern shores of the Baltic, and from North-West Russia in the East to Iceland and Greenland in the West. The Northern Dimension aims at addressing the special regional development challenges of northern Europe. These include harsh climatic conditions, long distances, wide disparities in standards-of-living, environmental challenges includings problems with nuclear waste and waste water management, and insufficient transport and border crossing facilities. The Northern Dimension is also intended to take advantage of the rich potential of the region, for example in terms of natural resources, economic dynamism and a rich cultural heritage.
