The climate effects affect us globally and politically in terms of energy, food, water and migration. It is a question of cross-border challenges and in order to meet them, cross-border research is needed. Mistra Geopolitics is composed to cope with this.
Björn-Ola Linnér
Programme Director Mistra Geopolitics and Professor at the Centre for Climate Science and Policy Research at Linköping University, Sweden
This unique research programme will enable us to carry out advanced studies of complex challenges and identify opportunities for Swedish actors to contribute to welfare and global development.
