Resume: Martin Lidegaard talked about his visions for a green future – including the 100 years’ perspective – and about the role of politics in creating sustainable societies. The minister aims to mobilize all areas of society to focus the efforts to exploit the big muscle power that the climate challenge holds. By making all parties cooperate, by making people aware of the challenges we face and the many possible solutions on local, national and global level, we will be able to change our way of thinking and living to meet the challenges.
