Sweden Boosts Crisis Preparedness

Published: 2024-11-23

In response to growing concerns over potential crises and conflicts, Swedish authorities have launched a new initiative to bolster national preparedness.

A brochure titled "If War Comes" has been distributed to households, highlighting the subtle yet significant threat of hybrid warfare tactics, particularly from Russia.

Meanwhile, Swedish farmers are receiving their own specialized guide to enhance resilience in the face of crises such as droughts, floods, and potential conflicts.

This initiative, a collaboration between the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences and the National Veterinary Institute, aims to safeguard Sweden's food production and self-sufficiency.

With climate change expected to increase the frequency of extreme weather events, the need for robust preparedness measures has never been more urgent.
