A sustainable Haninge
The climate is the key issue of our time. Haninge is growing. It has the opportunity to grow sustainably and set an example in climate action and environmental stewardship. We want to make Haninge one of the first fossil-free municipalities in Sweden.
Many of Haninge's residents have already started to make conscious choices to live climate-smart lives, for a sustainable Haninge and a sustainable world. Policy must take responsibility and lead the way towards and present the opportunities offered by a sustainable society. The Swedish Green Party's policies are centred on making it easy to do the right thing. We want to create a future to look forward to!
All development begins with the individual's conviction and commitment.
Considerate and dedicated people change the world. You make a difference!
