How can ambitious climate action gain broad public support while ensuring a fair transition?

The Swedish research programme Fairtrans brings together researchers, trade unions, environmental organisations and other civil society actors to develop effective and equitable climate policies. Through four years of collaboration, organisations with around five million members have agreed on 24 concrete policy proposals for accelerating the climate transition while addressing concerns about jobs, livelihoods and social justice.

This session presents the report’s key findings as well as experiences from the collaboration, exploring how research and co-production of knowledge and policy can help bridge political divides and turn climate ambitions into action.

Representatives from trade unions, environmental organisations, business and politics will discuss lessons from Sweden and their relevance for climate governance internationally.

Moderator:

Mikael Karlsson, Associate Professor, Uppsala University

Speakers and panellists:

Johan Hall, Research Officer, The Swedish Trade Union Confederation (LO)
Karin Lexén, Secretary General, Swedish Society for Nature Conservation
José Perez Johansson, International Secretary, The Swedish Confederation of Professional Employees (TCO)
