Lindstrom said he understands China needs to balance economic growth with environmental protection, noting that his country has experience that might support China. Lindstrom said Sweden has some useful environmental technology but, more than that, it has developed a wide range of non-technical measures to fight global warming.

"These are not very hi-tech measures but ones that each nation has at its disposal," Lindstrom said.

"But that's not enough", he said. |
