Summary:
This paper explores the process of including climate adaptation on the Swedish forestry policy agenda. By studying the policy process, insights in socio-political barriers and opportunities for climate adaptation in the forestry sector are gained. The analysis shows that the interest in climate adaptation has increased in the forestry domain. However, barriers for further policy integration remain such as the general focus on short-term productivity coupled with uncertainty with regard to the effects of climate change.

Mistra-SWECIA Science seminar: The effects of different energy sources and technological progress on climate change
Fossil energy and technological progress are two important factors that potentially influence climate change. Today, the main source of energy is fossil energy, and its use generates CO2-emissions with global warming as result. Technological progress can however improve the energy efficiency and potentially lead to the implementation of alternative clean energy sources that may partially or fully...
