Nordic webinar 14th June 2022: Climate and Security – how to navigate in the new geopolitical context?

The world is changing fast, and a state of crisis seems to be the new normal. The covid-19 pandemic was not yet over when the geopolitical conflict struck at the heart of Europe. Drastic measures have been taken in response already, but there is no clear end in sight.

When: 14th June 2022
Where: Webinar (link will be sent out after registration)
Time: 09.00-11.30 CET.
Organiser: Haga Initiative (Sweden), Climate Leadership Coalition (CLC) (Finland) and Skift Business Climate Leadership (Norway) and part of a bigger project, Climate Neutral Nordics, funded by the Nordic Council of Ministers.

What can we learn from previous global crises? What are the opportunities and challenges for business regarding climate transformation in the new geopolitical context? How can we strengthen the Nordic collaboration and resilience? How do we secure climate transformation in the value chain?
