The meeting will be held in the Danish city of Helsingør and this will be the first physical meeting for the new work group. The topic for this year will be Climate Change.
The first meeting within the new working group for the region of the Nordic countries and Balticum was held online on November 2, 2023. It was chaired by CTIF vice president Taina Hanhikoski, Finland.
There was also an informal preliminary meeting more or less a year ago in January 2023 in Lapland in Finland, where some of the ideas of the work group were laid down.
The meeting in Helsingør will be a historic one, since it is the first time this group meets physically in an official manner. The January 24- 26 meeting will be chaired by Peter Søe, Chair of the Danish CTIF National Committee and director of the fire services on Lolland-Falster, a region in Denmark.
