The Role of Nordic Countries in Fighting Against Climate Change: A Case Study of Sweden

Abstract

Climate Change is one of the hot potatoes in global politics. The effects of global warming, increasing populations and corporation are changing our climate and atmosphere. Also, global warming changes overall pattern of the weather, causing heat waves and floods. The carbon gas emissions are also increasing. There are many other drivers of climate change which includes population and many more. It is causing serious threats to nature and environment. However, there are some countries/regions which are facing pretty heavy barriers in order to tackle climate change, but Scandinavian countries (Nordic region) remain quite successful in fighting against climate change. The role of Nordic/Scandinavian countries cannot be neglected in challenging climate change. They are taking this issue very seriously and working on it by following a sustainable approach. Sweden is leading in this role and nowadays considered as one of the most sustainable countries, (Naylor, 2019). Thus, this research will tend to find out why this above-mentioned region is playing a good role in climate change by focusing on the role of Sweden.
