Quotes

  • “The Nordic countries have the opportunity to take the lead in global climate efforts. We're ready to take on this role. We know that it's difficult to prioritize, but we must accept our responsibility. We have to show people, and not least the younger generations, that we mean what we say, and that we practice what we preach.”
  • “It has been complicated for the past four years (2017–2021) and it will continue to be complicated. But maybe it is also healthy having to work with people who don't agree with you on everything.”
