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.
The Haga Initiative (Sweden) together with Climate Leadership Coalition (CLC) (Finland) and Skift Business Climate Leadership (Norway) organized a webinar on the topic of “Climate and security – how to navigate in the new geopolitical context” on the 14 on June 2022. The webinar is part of a bigger project, Climate Neutral Nordics, funded by the Nordic Council of Ministers.
Questions discussed during the webinar:
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?
