Sammanfattning

The current political actions towards sustainability are insufficient and not in line with the urgency of the intertwined climate crisis and biodiversity loss. Instead of far-reaching future objectives, which shift the responsibility away from the current decision-makers, actions need to be implemented right now. We immediately need to:
- Shift away from economic values and business-as-usual practices
- Prioritize multi-stakeholder inclusion in decision-making and policies
- Define terms and clarify the objectives within legal and political systems
- Prevent lobbying of polluting companies
- Regulate overconsumption and improve citizens’ education
- Improve the independence of environmental agencies
- Reinforce inspection authorities in charge of monitoring and enforcing regulations
