Making the future – not waiting for it Swedish municipalities in the frontline of sustainability
July 7-9 this year, the G8 summit will be held in Toyako, Hokkaido, northern Japan. The Japanese Government has announced that it will put climate change and other global environmental issues at the top of the agenda. As members of the global community we encourage the G8 governments to make ambitious agreements, but wonder who will carry the responsibility of implementation. The answer to such a rhetorical question is of course the world community: all of us. In politics, isn’t it actually the municipalities who are closest to us, representing us in making policies and implementing them. Many Swedish citizens and municipalities came to this conclusion years ago. Not waiting for the rest of the world to move, they began taking their own steps towards a more sustainable development.
