I wrote a short piece for @theconversation.com explaining my research on Sweden's fossil fuel exploration+extraction ban, and how other non-producers can learn from it – and how this connects to the Santa Marta conference on the transition away from fossil fuels: theconversation.com/why-swedens-...
