In 2009, Sweden is due to pass on the rotating presidency of the Nordic Council of Ministers to Iceland. At the Nordic Council Session, the Prime Minister of Iceland, Geir H. Haarde, presented the new presidency program called The Nordic Road Map. Iceland gives priority to cooperation in research and innovation, particularly emphasising energy issues, climate change and environment.
The four pinnacles of the program are: the Nordic Driving Force, the Nordic Strength, the Nordic Climate Challenge and a Globalised Region.
