What stands out

Around 10,000 people marched through Stockholm calling for stronger climate action just weeks before Sweden’s election, and DW News captured how climate policy has climbed the ballot-box ladder. Large, visible protests are not just moral theater. They are a political signal that voters care enough to make climate a campaign issue, which tends to push politicians toward promises that have price tags and winners and losers. For investors, that makes an otherwise abstract policy debate suddenly relevant to corporate profits and regulation.
