How fast will you be able to travel from Oslo to Stockholm by train in the future? How close are we to battery-powered planes? The Nordic Region is electrifying all kinds of transport in its push for carbon neutrality.

Monocle’s “The Foreign Desk” has teamed up with the Nordic Council of Ministers for a new series of five special episodes that delve deeper into sustainability issues and other topics of global importance from the region.


This episode looks at green transport. Tune in to discover how the Nordics are electrifying everything from ferries to planes, and hear how a certain Swedish environmental campaigner has persuaded her compatriots to shift to long-distance trains.
