The recent EU election results are now influencing climate policies across Europe. To illustrate the impact, we will dive into the EU vote on the Baltic Sea herring fishing quotas for 2025—an example of how party stances are shaping environmental decisions. This case highlights broader issues around climate priorities, conservation efforts, and the role of the scientist.
Join us for a presentation by Dr. Magnus Blomgren, Associate Professor of Political Science at Umeå University, as he analyzes how the election outcomes affect legislative decisions, with insights into how these changes may shape the EU’s climate trajectory.
