SEI Research Director and Deputy Director Åsa Persson spoke about the newly launched Stockholm+50: Unlocking a Better Future scientific report, which SEI has written together with the Indian think tank Council on Energy, Environment and Water (CEEW). The report provides a scientific basis for the UN commemorative conference Stockholm+50 on 2–3 June 2022.
“We are going to see very high prices for food, for electricity. If we make the switch to renewable energy, the quality of life is going to improve, we are going to see less polluted air and that is the key,” said Persson.
