Part 11/13:
The green agenda is a focal point, with Minister Linde responding to Greta Thunberg’s calls for reducing flights and high-carbon activities. While praising Greta’s influence, she clarifies that Sweden does not advocate banning flights altogether, citing the country’s geographical size and the importance of international cooperation.
She underscores that economic recovery packages present a rare opportunity to embed climate goals into stimulus investments. Swedes are investing heavily in green infrastructure and sustainable housing, aiming for a “build back better” approach that aligns economic growth with environmental sustainability.
