The places, politics and ethics of the fossil-free society
Researchers from Linköping University study how a fair climate transition can take shape in dialogue between decision-makers, companies and civil society. Their study is conducted in three cities – Lysekil, Slite and Luleå – all of which are heavily dependent on fossil-intensive industries for local jobs and tax revenue. The study aims to understand how the fossil-free transition shapes people’s stories about their city, their living conditions and future path choices.
Politics and background
In 2017, the Swedish Parliament adopted a climate policy framework that aims to transform Sweden into a fossil-free welfare state. The ambition is for Sweden’s climate transition to be fair and broadly anchored in society.
