How Finland’s comprehensive security model became Europe’s new standard
Poland
"– A few years back no one even mentioned civilian protection or civil defence... and now it’s becoming the headline. We talk about civilians, we talk about protecting civilians, we talk about engaging society, this whole-of-society approach, said Czub."
Sweden
"Like in Finland, conscription and civil service has been reintroduced. In case of exceptional circumstances, all Swedish residents must contribute to total defence from the age of 16 to 70. While some have undertaken military training and joined the army reserves, the government also launched a civilian service for the municipal rescue service and the electricity supply sector. Those with the necessary basic skills can be enrolled and deployed on civilian duty, ensuring the resilience of the country’s critical infrastructure."
