Wednesday July 5: Leader or Laggard? Reviewing Sweden’s climate and sustainability agenda
9.30-10.30 in Studentcentrum/HUS D, Uppsala University Campus

What does a nation such as Sweden need to deliver if it is to make its fair contribution to the Paris agreement on climate change? And how are we doing so far? Are there tradeoffs between adressing climate change and other sustainable development goals? or perhaps synnergies?
