Our roads, cities, power supplies were shaped by the energy choices of the past; which choices will we make in refiguring infrastructure fit for the 21stcentury and with the climate crises looming? In this talk, we’ll zoom in on the example of airport expansion plans in Sweden, and how climate change is pushing us to rethink societal connectivity, as well as planning and environmental law.
