This year marks fifty years since the UN's first environmental conference took place in Stockholm. Sweden is once again hosting the conference, which starts in June. The goal is to increase the pace of the transition towards sustainable and green societies. The non-partisan organization Framtidens rösterer invites school classes to make the UN conference an occasion where children, young people, heads of state and UN delegates meet for real.
