Climate fatigue is creeping in across the Nordic Region, according to the experts, and the concern is that the Nordic countries will not reach the targets we have set ourselves. Some people are tired of being shamed, others have switched their attention to new crises, some are stuck in old habits despite new attitudes, and others have lost hope. Luckily, others still have full focus on how the Nordic Region can turbo-charge the green transition.
