Sweden and California deepen cooperation on green transition
Sweden and California are taking concrete steps to strengthen their collaboration on climate action, sustainability, and innovation. Yesterday, government representatives from both regions met in Sacramento and online to kick off the implementation of the Letter of Cooperation on the Green Transition, signed in February 2024 by Sweden’s Minister for Trade Johan [name] and California Governor Gavin [name]. The meeting brought together 16 agencies and organizations to discuss joint initiatives in clean energy and sustainable transportation.
In February 2024, Sweden’s Minister for Trade Johan Forsell and California Governor Gavin Newsom signed a Letter of Cooperation on the Green Transition, recognizing the long-standing leadership of both Sweden and California in climate action, sustainability, and innovation. The agreement also emphasized that today’s challenges — from climate change to the energy transition — require collaboration across borders, sectors, and disciplines.
This week, eight Swedish and eight Californian government agencies and organizations met in Sacramento and online to launch the implementation phase of the agreement.
The session opened with remarks from Lisette Lindahl, Acting Consul General of Sweden in San Francisco, and Livia Shmavonian, Senior Advisor to Governor Newsom. Following introductions from all participating organizations, the group engaged in two parallel policy workshops focused on:
- Electrification, sustainability, and safety of the transportation sector
- Clean energy transition
Future Mobility was pleased to participate in this important kick-off workshop. A heartfelt thank-you to everyone who contributed to such a productive and inspiring meeting. The Letter of Cooperation has already proven to be a valuable platform for deepening transatlantic ties — and after this week’s discussions, it’s clear that many new collaborations are emerging to make those ties even stronger.
