Greening Mobility - Can Sweden Take The Lead?

In most advanced economies, transport is the largest or second largest contributor to climate change emissions, while at the same time accounting for a large share of premature deaths due to local air pollution. Can Sweden take the lead in the move to greener, more sustainable mobility? The competition is fierce, as shown by this second article from the 2030-secretariat.
Paris is about transports
After the ratification of the Paris Climate Agreement, a rapid move towards more sustainable modes of transport has started taking place. This is partially due to the fact that the countries in the process of determining their Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC) require large and quick emission reductions from the transport sector – but also that there is now a competition for leadership in finding, showing and promoting green transport solutions.

Riding the Waves of Culture
Dr Fons Trompenaars is co-founder of the consultancy firm Trompenaars HampdenTurner, and is the author of the book Riding the Waves of Culture. This book, now in its third edition, has sold over 120,000 copies and has been translated into 16 languages. Two central themes in the book are the definitions of cultural norms and values, and how they translate into seven cultural dimensions (please see the companion article on page 12 – 13). Swedish Press spoke to Dr Trompenaars and his Australian business partner Sean Williams, co-founder and Commercial Director of Mundus International. Sean is currently living in Sweden and advises foreign diplomats and business executives on how to interpret Swedish culture, traditions and institutions.
