Two open commons publications — the Nordic Charter for Women's Health 2040 (first edition December 2025, second edition May 2026) and its companion Implementation Playbook (May 2026) — were developed in partnership with the Copenhagen Institute for Futures Studies. The Charter was co-created by 136+ contributors across five Nordic countries; the full list is on the Charter page. The Playbook editorial team, alongside the cross-cutting roles spanning both publications, is listed below.
