According to the Swedish Climate Act, climate policy work must be based on science.

This is one reason why Agenda has also invited nine researchers with high scientific credibility to the program.

Most of them are experts in calculating the effects of policy instruments.

One topic in the program is Industry / Gadgets.

The industry accounts for almost a third of Swedish emissions according to the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency.

Consumption of gadgets such as clothing and electronics mainly causes large emissions abroad, as most are imported.

One of our researchers in this area is Karin Bradley, associate professor at the Royal Institute of Technology (KTH) in Stockholm.

She is the program manager for sustainable consumption at the state research council Mistra and has conducted a state investigation into the sharing economy.

She has been a non-political member of the green think tank Cogito, and worked for the non-profit organizations Fairtrade and Swedwatch.

Researchers in the field of energy

The other researcher on this issue is Göran Finnveden, professor of environmental strategic analysis at KTH, who researches how both industry and consumers can reduce their climate emissions.

According to the Swedish Energy Agency and Svenska Kraftnät, the green transition can lead to twice as much electricity being used in Sweden.

One of our experts on how to get more energy is Lennart Söder, professor of electric power systems at KTH.

Söder has conducted a government investigation into the electricity grid.

The other expert is Lisa Göransson, a researcher at Chalmers.

Her research group is counting on future models of the Swedish electricity grid.

Transport experts

The third researcher in the field of energy is also from Chalmers, Christian Ekberg, who is a professor of nuclear chemistry and industrial recycling.

Ekberg follows the international development of new nuclear power reactors.

Transport accounts for 30 percent of Swedish greenhouse gas emissions.

Here we have invited Anders Roth to IVL Swedish Environmental Institute who is a mobility and traffic expert.

IVL is an independent research institute funded by both the state and the business community.

Anders Roth was a traffic expert at the Swedish Society for Nature Conservation 1993-1998.

Our other expert on transport is Jörgen Larsson, associate professor at Chalmers University of Technology, who researches sustainable long-distance travel, and investigates consumption-based climate goals for the Riksdag's parliamentary environmental goal preparation.

During 1995-1997, Jörgen Larsson was a politically appointed official for the Green Party.

Researchers in food

About 14 percent of emissions in Sweden come from agriculture.

Swedes' imports of food cause equally large emissions in other countries.

The one researcher we interview about food is Elin Röös, researcher in environmental system analysis for food at the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences in Uppsala.

Röös has commissioned government agencies such as the National Food Administration, international organizations such as the World Wide Fund for Nature and companies such as Oatley and Danone.

The other expert on food is Therese Lindahl, researcher at the Stockholm Resilience Center at Stockholm University.

She is also an expert on behavioral change in the Expert Group for Studies in Public Economics, has investigated sustainable consumption for the Swedish Consumer Agency and is a member of the green, liberal think tank Fores' Science Council.
