What is Climate Talks?
Conversation about climate and transition is a two-year project run by Leader Bergslagen in connection with the association being accepted as a Climate Pact Partner within the EU in 2026.
The aim of the project is to protect nature and the environment in Bergslagen by creating conversations about climate and the transition. The goal of the project is to carry out 15 lectures/workshops about the climate transition, a study trip to Abisko with the youth association Growth Power Ludvika, as well as producing short films with the character Ken Stern.
