Results from policy and practice development during the Icelandic presidency of the Nordic Council of Ministers 2023.

A rural scene in Iceland. There are two small buildings, both with white roofs, situated on a grassy and rocky landscape with hills in the background. In front of the building on the right, there is a flagpole with the Icelandic flag flying. A black vehicle is parked between the buildings. The sky is overcast with clouds, adding to the rugged and remote atmosphere of the location.
