Rune Nyström is an Ordennyan politician, currently due to serve as Euclean Commissioner for Climate Change and Energy, previously serving as Vice President of Ordennya, Green Party leader, and PGNM co-leader. He began life as a high school Politics teacher, a job he used to pay for his Ph.D. Upon attaining his Ph.D in Economics, he became a Professor of Economics at the Vastdal School of Politics & Public Administration, where he wrote the widely-acclaimed book "Seeing Green". In 1992, he became the first elected Green Party MP for Oured North, before being elected Party leader in 1995. In each election that he led the Greens into, they increased their vote share and seat count, until he was appointed Vice President of Ordennya in the coalition government after the 2015 election. Following the death of his eldest child, he resigned as Vice President and Green Party leader, stepping away from frontline politics, before joining the Euclean Parliament in early 2018, as a replacement for another Green Party MEP. He was later elected as co-leader of the PGNM group, and will be the first Green politician to serve as a Euclean Commissioner.
