A talk by Prof. Thomas Sterner (University of Gothenburg). This event is part of the Sustainability Colloquium hosted by the Center for Sustainability

Join us for a colloquium with Thomas Sterner, a leading environmental economist, who will examine how climate policy can be both economically efficient and socially fair. While carbon pricing is widely regarded as a cornerstone of effective climate policy, it remains politically contested and unevenly implemented.

Drawing on Sweden’s three decades of experience with carbon taxation, this talk explores why pricing emissions works, how it shapes innovation and behavior across sectors, and what determines public acceptance. The Swedish case offers concrete lessons for countries seeking to align ambitious climate targets with economic competitiveness, political feasibility, and social justice.

Following the presentation, there will be time for discussion and questions, and the event will conclude with an aperitivo, offering an opportunity for informal exchange.
