By 2040, we will have succeeded in making society completely fossil-free. The countries of the world finally realised what had to be done and took responsibility. In Sweden, investments in fossil-free steel and cement have also led to changes in the way we build and develop cities and communities. Biodiversity has been strengthened, both in cities and in rural areas. Forests are cared for and used in a sustainable way. We continue to drive, but without emissions and with reduced impact on nature and people. But it is not completely free of problems. Car accidents, congestion, road wear and more continue to be a burden. Health issues do only slowly get better. Joint action by the countries around the Baltic Sea is finally having an impact and we look to the future with some confidence.”
