Sweden is challenging the world to go fossil fuel-free | Åsa Romson

We are aiming to be one of the world's first welfare nations to show that living without fossil fuels is not only necessary, but also sought-after

Global warming threatens the very foundation of human wellbeing. Drought, flooding and a less predictable climate hit both agriculture and fisheries hard, thereby threatening access to food for the world's growing population. Global economic growth is under threat, along with years of work to eradicate poverty.
