About this event

++ הכנס באנגלית וילווה בתרגום סימולטני לעברית ++

The Embassy of Sweden in Tel Aviv is organizing an online session with Swedish and Israeli decision makers and industry representatives, on Sweden’s climate policies and financing tools and the opportunities for adoption to Israel.

Sweden has passed a law to become fossil-free by 2045 and has created elaborate strategies to achieve this goal.

A plethora of policy and market mechanisms have been formed of which a special interest lies in the "green bonds" – a financing tool adopted widely across municipalities in Sweden, enabling large-scale investments in renewable energies and energy efficiency projects – mostly in Sweden, but also abroad.

With these mechanisms, Sweden is a leader in demonstrating a positive link between going fossil-free and a country’s prosperity and therefore increases the incentive to exit the fossil economy to move to a low-carbon economy.

Event Moderator: Avi Blau, Director of the Afeka Institute of Circular Engineering and Economy
