The roadmaps describe what actions the sectors need to take and a list of policy proposals for the government to help them. The process is all voluntary and is based on the positive narrative of Sweden’s climate vision to become the first fossil free welfare nation in the world. That means industry should continue to use the business opportunities in the transformation and through innovation and export of products create jobs and increase prosperity – by achieving net-zero emissions.
What are the driving forces behind these strong actions by the sectors? And what are the pros and cons of having such a bottom-up policy development process?
The Swedish WEC member committee together with Fossil Free Sweden and the Royal Swedish Academy of Engineering Sciences arrange this seminar on the 20th of May between 13-14pm.
