Romina Pourmokhtari: Facing the Toughest Job in Sweden Amid Climate Goal Challenges
Sweden is missing all its climate targets, and a united opposition is demanding her resignation. Now, Romina Pourmokhtari speaks out on the popular TikTok channel: – I have the toughest job in Sweden, she says on 'Career Ladder'.
A united opposition is calling for her resignation. The reason is that the government is missing most of the set climate goals.
But right now, Climate Minister Romina Pourmokhtari is on the other side of the Atlantic to participate in the opening of the UN General Assembly's 80th session in New York.
And outside the UN headquarters, she gives an interview atop a ladder.
It is creator and YouTuber Max Klymenko who runs the video series 'Career Ladder', where he guesses what people do for a living.
"Toughest Job"
Romina Pourmokhtari, who was recently accused by the opposition of manipulating climate statistics, says about her mission:
– I have the toughest job in Sweden right now.
Pourmokhtari is asked what dish her job would be if it were a dish.
– Fish and lots of vegetables.
No Plans to Resign
Max Klymenko is surprised by the young age of the climate minister, 29 years, and wonders if it's even legal.
– I don't fit the stereotype, do I? she responds in the interview, which has received hundreds of thousands of views.
The climate minister has no plans to resign, she says in an interview with Aftonbladet. There, she claims that the climate work, despite the series of missed targets, "is actually moving in the right direction."
– I have said that Sweden will work to achieve all climate goals, including the EU's climate goals. Hope is not lost, Pourmokhtari tells the newspaper.
