1. THE STATUS AND VISION OF SUSTAINABILITY
Before the Covid-19 pandemic, sustainability was the main global talking point. The
main news concerned discussions and decisions regarding sustainability. This was the case
also in the East-Nordic countries, that is Sweden and Finland. Still, the current pandemic has
changed the situation. Naturally, people, states and other actors in society at large will have
other problems to tackle if the pandemic is not kept under control. The same applies to the
media. There is no longer sufficient space or perhaps even the same need for news regarding
climate change and sustainability compared to the pandemic. However, despite this global
Covid- 
topics as soon as this global crisis gives way to other news
too. It is now clear that sustainability seems to have survived a global crisis. There seems to
be a need to promote sustainability even in the future when the pandemic hopefully will
just be a thing of the past and when life reverts to normal again.
Therefore, there are good grounds to claim that sustainability is currently one of the
most important goals also in the East-Nordic societies. If this trend and these developments
continue to evolve as strongly in the future, it is possible that sustainability will become the
phenomenon that shapes the East-Nordic legal culture in a rather radical way. It is the case
that it lies in the mentality and culture of the East-Nordic region to follow norms and standards
very carefully. There is a very strong sense of duty in the East-Nordic countries.

The current Covid-19 pandemic may even strengthen this development in practice.
Due to the pandemic many temporary changes have been made also to court proceedings. This
means that technology and different types of electronical solutions are now widely used to
organize court sessions and to otherwise contact courts and other authorities. This leads to
sustainability put into practice when those involved do not need to travel to the courts. It saves
resources, not only natural resources but also time and human energy. Some of these changes
will remain also after the pandemic because they have been found to be practical. That is why
it is held that court proceedings will become more sustainable in the future as far as these
practicalities are concerned.
