Abstract
The Latvian government did not include climate change on the national agenda until 2018. The country’s energy balance, decades-long societal support for nature preservation, significant numbers of eco-friendly government policies and geographical location all resulted in a country not seeing climate change as an immediate problem. The increasing political and social popularity of climate change issues, both in the EU and globally, finally caught up with Latvia only after Prime Minister Krisjanis Karins demonstrated personal political leadership on the matter.
