Rising levels of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere have upset the balance of the Earth's climate system, leading to a rapidly rising global average temperature. The year 2023 was the warmest year on record on Earth, and climate change is leading to increasingly significant environmental, social and economic consequences around the world. However, these consequences can be limited through large and lasting emission reductions.
At the same time, Sweden's government pursues a climate policy that increases emissions and means that we will neither reach Sweden's climate goals nor the EU commitments we are bound to (until the year 2030). This is shown by several reports by the independent expert body as well as the authority Climate Policy Council, which evaluates the government's policy on a scientific basis based on the climate goals that the Riksdag and the government have decided on.
How does the Climate Policy Council work? How has its role changed in step with politics and how does the council incorporate a global justice perspective in its work? What changes does the authority see in Sweden's emissions of greenhouse gases, and in the policy being pursued to curb climate change? How has the EU's climate policy developed, and what does it mean for Sweden?
We will discuss these questions, and the Climate Policy Council's latest evaluation report, at the breakfast seminar Rising temperature – reduced climate ambition with Eva Mineur, investigator and deputy head of office at the Climate Policy Council's office. The call is led by Lennart Wohlgemuth, board member of FUF, and Matilda Hald, policy advisor for environmental and climate justice at CONCORD Sweden.
The last day to register is May 14 at 15.00 p.m.
