Bank of North Dakota has released the report STAND (Sustain. Transform. Authenticate. North Dakota.), showcasing North Dakota’s proactive approach to balancing economic growth in energy and agriculture with sustainability goals. The report emphasizes the state’s reliance on its robust natural resources to meet both domestic and global food and energy demands while addressing challenges posed by global market-driven and political climate focused initiatives.

Commissioned by the 68th Legislative Assembly, the STAND report outlines North Dakota’s unique approach to sustainability. Through strategic public-private partnerships and reinvestment of coal, oil, and gas taxes, North Dakota is driving transformation in energy and agriculture. Instead of relying on regulations, the state is prioritizing innovation and conservation, offering a blueprint for sustainable growth in a world increasingly focused on carbon management.
