Sweden's parliamentary election: Can climate protection still win elections?
Climate protection is playing a major role in Sweden's election campaign. However, the euphoria has also subsided in the country where Fridays for Future originated, ahead of the elections on September 13.
Greta Thunberg has joined around 10,000 people in Stockholm to demonstrate for stronger climate action in Sweden. The demonstrations come ahead of the September 13 parliamentary election, in which climate protection is expected to play a significant role. According to a study, 93 percent of Swedes believe they will be affected by the climate crisis now or in the future.
The ruling Tidö coalition, led by Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson, has rolled back many climate protection measures, leading to disappointment among many Swedes, with some parties, including the Social Democrats, led by Magdalena Andersson, and the Miljöpartiet, calling for stronger climate action.
