The Subgroup on Hot Spots Exclusion of the Barents Euro-Arctic Council's Working Group on Environment serves as the central driving force and coordinator in the work. The operative work for exclusion of the environmental Hot Spots from the list requires thorough effort from regional authorities and other stakeholders. The Nordic Environment Finance Corporation (Nefco) conducts pre-feasibility studies, in order to develop modernization projects excluding the hot spots.
