Abstract: In spite of attempts at international climate agreements, climate change is a serious threat to our planet's population of drought and starvation that affects us all. The disasters will initially occur in the poorest countries in Asia and Africa, but then also in Southern Europe. This risk poses future serious conflicts as the number of climate refugees increases. Rising temperatures, increased rainfall and a humid climate already affect the construction industry in the Nordic region. How will construction and housing companies, the state and municipalities handle the environmental and energy issues in the most effective ways to make housing sustainable in the wider and warmer climate of the future? How do we value different energy supply systems and what skills need to change in the construction sector? The author describes the obstacles and opportunities and the preparedness and planning needed for sustainable social development in Sweden.
