Environment Commissioner-designate Jessika Roswall has not yet gained any experience in her area of responsibility; the 51-year-old lawyer’s CV has no direct links to environmental issues. Roswall has been a Moderate member of the Swedish parliament for the Uppsala constituency since 2010 and has worked on consumer and transport policy issues. She has been an EU minister since 2022, during which time she held the Swedish Council Presidency. In the new Commission, she will now be responsible for the environment, water resilience and a competitive circular economy.
