Carbon reduction through less need for commuting and heating of buildings and factories. At a meeting with the social democratic SDP's party board, Marin said that there is reason to start experimenting with shorter working hours, reports Yle. She says that in the long term the party wants the growth to benefit workers to a greater extent. The Prime Minister refers to the fact that many people suffer from exhaustion and that the number of sick leave is alarming. - We want employees to have the right to genuine leisure time without the pressure of being available to their employer at any given moment. Sanna Marin has previously said that it would be desirable to have shorter working weeks, but then in a less official way in a role as infrastructure minister. SDP's vice-chairman Matias Mäkynen suggests trying four-day weeks during the next term. The party, which leads a broad government, currently holds 40 of the 200 seats in the Finnish Riksdag. https://www.nyteknik.se/karriar/marins-drag-i-finland-vill-testa-kortare-arbetsdagar/2015329?utm_source=rule&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=de%20vill%20kapa%20tv%C3%A5%20tons%20vikt%20fr%C3%A5n%20lastbilssl%C3%A4p%20%E2%80%93%20med%20st%C3%A5lorigami%20%E2%80%A2%C2%A0M%C3%A5nga%20%C3%A5r%20av%20forskning%20%E2%80%93%20nu%20%C3%A4r%20%E2%80%9Dgr%C3%B6na%E2%80%9D%20frigoliters%C3%A4ttaren%20h%C3%A4r&utm_custom[rm]=240987515

Climate Minister Romina Pourmokhtari (Liberals) defends the investments in climate compensation in Ghana. The government wants to invest heavily in climate compensation in other countries. But the measures must not be used to reach the EU's emission targets, DN can tell. - Sweden should follow the EU here, says climate scientist Kevin Anderson. The government invests SEK 450 million in emission reductions in other countries such as Ghana, the Dominican Republic and Nepal to compensate for Sweden's emissions - something that has met with harsh criticism from researchers that DN spoke to. Now DN can tell you that the investments in climate compensation cannot be used to reach Sweden's part of the EU's climate goals. When the Union set the climate targets for 2030, the possibility of using so-called supplementary measures was removed. The abolition of climate compensation is a major change that has taken place in the EU's climate work. Until 2020, it was allowed for the member states to make use of supplementary measures, mainly through climate investments in other countries, to reach the goals. Among others, Germany made extensive investments in climate measures abroad to meet the EU's emissions requirements by 2020. But from 2020, that possibility has been removed. The reason is above all the extensive criticism that has occurred against climate compensation in other countries, where research has questioned whether they really do the climate benefit that is claimed. The EU's own experts also pointed out that the climate investments in other countries have created subsidies for, for example, renewable energy in countries such as China, India and Brazil – countries that directly compete with the EU on the global market. Above all, however, the EU made the assessment that the Union needs to implement extensive emission reductions within the Union to do its fair share for the world to reach the goals of the Paris Agreement. - The EU's climate law is clear when it comes to the EU's climate goals after 2020 being reached within the region, says Malin Kanth, climate analyst at the Environmental Protection Agency. However, Sweden has two climate targets to deal with – partly our part of the EU's climate targets, and partly the national Swedish climate targets. And Sweden has chosen a different path than the EU. To achieve our national climate goals, complementary measures, such as the investments in Ghana through Article 6 of the Paris Agreement, are permitted. By 2045, 15 percent of Sweden's emissions may be supplemented through this type of investment. This means that the investments can be used to reach the Swedish goals - but not to reach the EU goals. Climate Minister Romina Pourmokhtari (L) nevertheless defends the Swedish investments, which she believes can contribute to improving the entire global system for supplementary measures. - Our firm assessment is that we see an opportunity for Sweden to contribute to the system being designed in a wise way. Then maybe the EU will also be interested in using supplementary measures in this way, she says. Is it effective climate policy to invest in measures that do not help to reach the climate goals within the EU? - According to our national targets, we are allowed to credit ourselves with supplementary measures of up to 15 percent. These types of measures are included there and it helps to reduce emissions globally quickly and cost-effectively. But that does not mean that you can lower your level of ambition nationally. Climate researcher Kevin Anderson, who has reviewed both Sweden's and the EU's climate policies, points out that both the EU's and Sweden's climate goals are insufficient to be in line with the Paris Agreement. As far as the supplementary measures are concerned, however, the EU is more in line with the research, he believes. - If Sweden were to base its climate goals on what the research says, there is no place for supplementary measures at all. It is good that Sweden invests in other countries to contribute to climate work, but to use it as an excuse to reach its own is bordering on embarrassing, he says. What do you think the government should do? - If we are serious about staying within the tight emissions budget that remains, no country in the world will be able to compensate for its fossil emissions elsewhere. We need to stop thinking that way altogether. Facts. This is how the EU's and Sweden's views on the Ghana project differ The EU has set itself the goal of reducing emissions in the Union by 55 percent by 2030, compared to 1990. In that goal, so-called supplementary measures, such as the Swedish projects in Ghana, Nepal and the Dominican Republic, are not permitted. However, to a certain extent there are opportunities for EU countries to buy emissions space from each other. Sweden's national climate targets allow supplementary measures. This means that Sweden can pay for emission reductions in other countries and credit them. Other complementary measures are increased absorption of greenhouse gases in forests and land, for example through the establishment of wetlands, or bio-CCS, i.e. burning biofuels and capturing and storing the carbon dioxide. Here are the Swedish climate goals: ■ 2030: Emissions must be reduced by 63 percent compared to 1990. Of the reduction, 8 percent must be supplementary measures. ■ 2040: Emissions must be reduced by 75 percent compared to 1990. 2 percent may be supplementary measures. ■ 2045: Emissions must be down to net zero. 15 percent may be supplementary measures. The milestone targets for 2030 and 2040 do not include emissions within the EU's emissions trading system. The target for 2045 includes all emissions. https://www.dn.se/sverige/regeringens-klimatplaner-far-inte-anvandas-for-att-na-eu-kraven/

The supplementary measures should not give a country permission to continue releasing emissions but help the specific country to lower its emission also.

The University of Barcelona (UB) has decided not to renew the Repsol Foundation's Chair of Energy Transition, which began in 2019. If you don't know who Repsol is you can check how they caused this massive oil spill in Peru last year: https://app.wedonthavetime.org/posts/e5f508ef-6ee7-4347-89d2-9d48bbcc417c According to the activist group End Fossil Barcelona, no professor wanted to take over from the previous director, Mariano Marzo, who was an emeritus professor at UB and also held a position on the board of Repsol, (conflict of interests much?) receiving an annual remuneration of €309,074 since 2017. The reason for this lack of replacement is believed to be the student resistance to this sponsorship of Repsol, which is the leading CO2 emitter in Spain, in university research, which they consider a form of greenwashing. The multinational energy company reportedly paid €35,000 per year to UB for this collaboration. The victory in not renewing the Repsol Foundation's Chair of Energy Transition can be largely attributed to the climate activists' efforts, particularly those from End Fossil Barcelona. The group organized protests and occupation of the historic building of the UB to denounce the presence of private companies and banks in the city's educational centers, arguing that their presence does not guarantee the independence of studies and links the public university to the private interests of companies contributing to the climate crisis. End Fossil Occupy is planning a global movement of University occupation in May, check it out: http://endfossil.com/ The University of Barcelona is moving forward but Repsol Foundation has other university chairs, such as those at the Polytechnic University of Madrid, Comillas University, the University of Navarra, and the University of the Basque Country and the Spanish multinational energy company seeks to position itself as a leader in the energy transition in the academic field. However, according to the Observatory of Sustainability, in 2021, Repsol was the company that emitted the most greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, releasing 10.7 million tons of CO2 equivalent. Let's remove these greenwashers from our universities! https://www.climatica.lamarea.com/ub-no-renueva-catedra-repsol/

Deforestation in the Brazilian Amazon rose 150 percent in December from the previous year, according to government figures released Friday, a final bleak report for far-right ex-president Jair Bolsonaro in his last month in office. Satellite monitoring detected 218.4 square kilometers (84.3 square miles) of forest cover destroyed in Brazil's share of the world's biggest rainforest last month, according to the national space agency's DETER surveillance program. The area—nearly four times the size of Manhattan—was up more than 150 percent from the 87.2 square kilometers destroyed in December 2021, according to the agency, INPE.

Rishi Sunak and UK's Conservative government approved the U.K.’s first new coal mine in three decades. Cabinet Minister Michael Gove decided the mine in the Cumbria area of northwest England would have “an overall neutral effect on climate change and is thus consistent with government policies for meeting the challenge of climate change," the government said 🤡 The Woodhouse Colliery mine project was unveiled in 2014 and has been criticized by the British government's independent climate advisory panel, as well as the opposition Labour Party, NGOs and activists. The mine will extract coking coal, the type used in steelmaking, from under the Irish Sea and process it on the site of a shuttered chemical plant in Whitehaven, a town 550 kilometres northwest of London. The project is expected to create around 500 jobs. The mine would take two years to build, and cost around 165 million pounds /€191 million. It is proposed to be in operation for 50 years. (!!) Imagine all the investments in green energy that could be done with this money. This decision came some hours after Rishi Sunak announced the lift of the ban on building windfarms on British soil, but one wonders what's the point if his next move is taking a massive step back into fossil fuel extraction. The mine is a major blow to the U.K.’s status as a world leader in replacing polluting fossil fuels with clean renewable energy. They argue it will undermine global efforts to phase out coal and make it harder for Britain to meet its goals of generating 100% of electricity from clean energy sources by 2035 and reaching net-zero carbon emissions by 2050. John Gummer, a Conservative politician who heads the Climate Change Committee, a government advisory body, said the decision “sends entirely the wrong signal to other countries about the U.K.’s climate priorities” https://www.dw.com/en/uk-approves-controversial-new-coal-mine-sparking-criticism/a-64023473

While COP15 is going on in Montreal, EU fisheries ministers are negotiating fishing rules on a large number of species in the EU's Atlantic waters. One of these species is the endangered eel. The fish is acutely threatened, compared to 1950, only about 1–5% of the stock remains. The eel's complicated life cycle and long journeys across large parts of the world make it extra vulnerable. Overfishing is one cause of its extinction, but pollution and destroyed habitats have also had a major impact. The eel has existed on Earth for 70 million years - but in less than half a decade it has almost completely disappeared. The EU has proposed an extended ban period for eel fishing: from three to six months. The Swedish government is refusing this new rule. Minister for Rural Affairs Peter Kullgren (KD) justifies it by saying that eel fishing is a cultural heritage that should be protected. The Climate and Environment Minister Romina Pourmokhtari (L) also agrees with this decision from the government, to "preserve the fishing industry and businesses that work with eel fishing". How are you supposed to have a cultural heritage if it disappears? The fact that a few privileged people can eat eel for Christmas is not a good argument to lead to the extinction of a species. Time for the government to start caring about biodiversity. https://www.wwf.se/djur/alar/#hot https://supermiljobloggen.se/nyheter/halvtid-i-cop15-nytt-ramverk-langt-ifran-fardigt/

The Senedd, the Welsh Parliament, has approved legislation to ban selling unnecessary, disposable products to consumers making Wales the first part of the UK to legislate against a thorough list of single-use plastics. It will take effect in autumn 2023 and give local authorities the power to enforce the offence of supplying or offering to supply the commonly littered items – even when they are free. Wales is currently ranked as the world’s third-best domestic recycler and the new law demonstrates how the Welsh Government is continuing to take ambitious steps to tackle the climate and nature emergencies. Moreover, the Bill allows the Welsh Government, working with the Senedd, to revise the current list of banned or restricted products meaning Ministers will be able to ban other types of environmentally harmful single-use plastic products in the future, by passing regulations. “Now is the time for all of us to think differently and change our habits to avoid leaving a legacy of plastic waste for future generations," said Climate Change Minister, Julie James. https://www.denbighshirefreepress.co.uk/news/23174508.wales-first-uk-nation-ban-single-use-plastics/ https://gov.wales/environmental-protection-single-use-plastic-products-wales-bill

In a historic vote, the Los Angeles City Council voted on December 2 to immediately phase out all oil drilling in L.A. and ban new wells. This is an extraordinary decision in a city built by a once-booming petroleum industry and whose residents have suffered decades of environmental consequences as a result. In a 12-0 vote, the council approved a new ordinance that immediately bans new oil and gas extraction and requires that all existing oil and gas extractions stop production within 20 years. According to the city’s planning department, Los Angeles has 26 oil and gas fields and more than 5,000 oil and gas wells. Some of the wells are active, while others are idle. Great job Los Angeles!

The European Union struck a deal on Thursday on a law to effectively ban the sale of new petrol and diesel cars from 2035, aiming to speed up the switch to electric vehicles and combat climate change. Negotiators from the EU countries and the European Parliament, as well as the European Commission, agreed that carmakers must achieve a 100% cut in CO2 emissions by 2035, which would make it impossible to sell new fossil fuel-powered vehicles in the 27-country bloc. "This deal is good news for car drivers... new zero-emission cars will become cheaper, making them more affordable and more accessible to everyone," Parliament's lead negotiator Jan Huitema said. EU climate policy chief Frans Timmermans said the agreement sent a strong signal to industry and consumers. "Europe is embracing the shift to zero-emission mobility," he said. The deal also included a 55% cut in CO2 emissions for new cars sold from 2030 versus 2021 levels, much higher than the existing target of a 37.5% reduction by then. New vans must comply with a 100% CO2 cut by 2035, and a 50% cut by 2030 compared with 2021 levels. 👏👏👏

Rishi Sunak will not attend the Cop27 climate summit, Downing Street has said, despite the new British prime minister having promised this week to prioritise the environment. 🤡 His predecessor, Liz Truss, had reportedly planned to go to at least one day of the summit, but Sunak’s spokesperson said he had “other pressing domestic commitments”. Some people had been hoping Sunak would take the climate crisis more seriously than Truss and were even optimistic after he announced he would uphold the ban on fracking, a commitment made in the 2019 Tory manifesto. The spokesperson said the autumn budget was among Sunak’s top priorities, but the government remained “committed to net zero and to leading international and domestic action to tackle climate change”. The wrong message to send to a burning world and after Britain has dealt with one of the warmest summers in its history. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2022/oct/27/rishi-sunak-will-not-attend-cop27-climate-summit

For the first time, wind and solar generated more of Chile’s electricity than coal over an entire 12-month period, from August 2021 to September 2022, shows a report produced by EMBER in partnership with Chile Sustentable and ACERA, la Asociación Chilena de Energías Renovables y Almacenamiento. 3 main points: 01: Solar and wind generated 27.5% of Chile’s electricity over the 12 months from October 2021 to September 2022, they are the largest source of electricity, overtaking coal power (26.5%), then hydro (21.8%) and gas (18.9%). The increase in wind and solar generation meant that fossil fuels generated less than half of Chile’s electricity in the last 12 months; which is the first time this has happened since 2007. Before that, Chile’s electricity system was dominated by hydro and gas, before coal became the predominant fuel used to cover new electricity demand. 02: Wind and solar doubled since 2018: In just three years, Chile’s solar and wind electricity generation doubled from 9 TWh (12%) in 2018 to 18 TWh (22%) in 2021. 03: Demand grows, but emissions do not: Since 2016, Chile’s rise in electricity demand has been met entirely by wind and solar. Annual emissions dropped by 6% from 2016 to 2021, despite overall electricity demand rising 11% in the same period Chile’s rapid transition from coal power to wind and solar while growing its electricity demand provides inspiration for other emerging economies according to EMBER. https://ember-climate.org/insights/research/wind-and-solar-overtake-coal-in-chile/ .

There is a fair chance that throughout her Zoom conversation with Björk Guðmundsdóttir, Greta Thunberg will be doing embroidery. It is a Thursday afternoon in Stockholm, after class, in what is Thunberg’s last year of secondary school. Doing cross-stitch does not affect her concentration – in fact it helps her to focus; she stitches in many important meetings, and in lessons, as long as she’s not required to take notes. Thunberg is 19 but took a year out – she was also absent on many Fridays, striking alone at first in 2018 and then as part of what became an international movement, Fridays for Future. Today, it turns out that the thing she’s twiddling like worry beads at the bottom of her Zoom screen is just the lead from her headphones. Björk pipes in from Reykjavik: a face-to-face meeting of the pair would create a carbon footprint of around 0.59 tonnes. https://www.newstatesman.com/environment/2022/10/greta-thunberg-bjork-guomundsdottir-interview-climate-change

On Tuesday, Gabriel Boric's Government announced that, through the Ministry of the Environment, it had transformed three coastal wetlands in the province of Chiloé, into Nature Sanctuaries. The Bahía de Curaco de Vélez wetlands, Quinchao Wetland and Putemún Wetland. These zones are key for many resident and migratory bird species that visit the wetlands to feed during the non-breeding season. Resident species include the black-necked swan, a charismatic species for the community of Curaco de Vélez, endemic to South America. Migratory species include the Chilean flamingo and Hudsonian godwit. With 149 hectares, Putemún wetland is one of the most important wetlands for migratory birds and for science from an archaeological point of view. With this measure, Chile added 311.5 hectares in protected territory since the decrees were already published in the Official Gazette. The new sanctuaries are part of the National Wetland Protection Plan and of a portfolio located on the Isla Grande of Chiloé designed to protect the biodiversity and ecosystem services of that area. Environment Minister, Maisa Rojas pointed out that "this declaration will allow Chile to contribute to the fulfilment of Chile's commitments within the framework of the Nationally Determined Contributions and the Climate Long-Term Strategy, instruments recognized in the Framework Law on Climate Change”. "It is essential that we continue to advance in the protection and care of our ecosystems that are key to mitigating and adapting to climate change," she added. When updating its NDC, Chile committed to protecting at least 20 coastal wetlands by 2025 and adding another ten by 2030. https://www.biobiochile.cl/especial/aqui-tierra/noticias/2022/07/26/chiloe-gobierno-transforma-3-humedales-costeros-en-santuarios-de-la-naturaleza.shtml

On September 28, Greenpeace Chile launched the documentary, “Por Aquí No” (“Not Here”). The new documentary stars well-known actors Benjamín Vicuña and Carolina Arregui as they visit the Kawésqar National Reserve in the Magallanes Region in Chilean Patagonia. The NGO said the new film is meant to raise awareness of the need to protect the area from development by the salmon-farming industry. “Hopefully, with this campaign, people will become aware and we will be able to prohibit the installation of salmon farming in the waters of the Kawésqar National Reserve," Arregui said in a Greenpeace release. "It is important that these wonderful seas are protected so that there are no more salmon projects in a place that houses a wonderful habitat of species unique in the world."

Do you remember the mountain of clothing in the Atacama desert in Chile? The company EcoFibra in Chile has developed a solution to reuse these wasted resources, transforming textile waste into thermal and acoustic insulation panels for low-cost housing construction specially destined for social housing. To date, EcoFibra has recycled around 4% of the discarded clothes on the mountain and has big goals to continue on. EcoFibra’s strategic base has a triple impact — it’s an environmentally sustainable, economically competitive company with a social aim. "Our products are helping the environment, cleaning the desert, contributing to a circular economy, and helping people who need it. The most beautiful thing about a sustainable economy is to help people who need it the most" —Franklin Zepeda, Eco Fibra CEO The company created in 2018, by the engineer Franklin Zepeda, operates in Chile in a factory in Alto Hospicio in the Iquique region. Ecofibra's products are manufactured as mats, blankets, sheets and bulk, with different densities, thicknesses and insulating capacities, allowing an efficient shelter for all types of buildings, new houses or renovated. By mixing wood with the insulating mat, Ecofibra also commercializes finished ecological panels. These products have fireproof properties and the same insulation coefficient as the traditional panels available on the market in Chile while being less expensive. Win-win for the planet and people!

In a bit less than a month, Brazil will vote to elect its President. The two main candidates are current President Jair Bolsonaro facing former President Lula da Silva. And one option is (obviously) better news for the protection of the Amazon and indigenous people than the other. At a recent press conference, Lula presented some measures he would take if elected to contain the destruction of the Amazonian ecosystems. Lula mentioned he would create an Indigenous Peoples Ministry and reestablish the environmental institutions erased by Bolsonaro during his presidency. To contain the deforestation of the Amazon basin he will also go against illegal mining in Brazil. Lula said and pledged to work to stop the destruction of the Amazon rainforest, which has accelerated due to President Jair Bolsonaro's pro-market policies. “We don’t need to cut down even one more tree to plant soybeans. We don’t need to cut down one more tree to plant corn. We don’t need to cut down a single tree to plant sugarcane or raise cattle,” said the leftist candidate. To reduce deforestation, Lula will also implement public programs to provide farmers with credit at low-interest rates to encourage crops that regenerate the soil and capture carbon. The Amazon is on the brink of collapsing with large parts not able to recover from fires and would not withstand another Bolsonaro’s term. Lula has all the conditions to modernize the practice and make a new administration much better than the previous ones in the environmental area. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/aug/22/brazil-election-lula-da-silva-protect-amazon-president

Around 35% of the world’s mangroves have been destroyed in the last 20 years alone. To turn this around, Restore Blue is bringing together individuals, communities and landholders to turn degraded landscapes into thriving blue carbon ecosystems. Their goal? Restoring 10,000 hectares of lost blue carbon wetlands by 2030! Here are the different steps of their work: They start by identifying degraded land that is ideally suited to the creation of blue carbon ecosystems usually sites that are typically agriculturally and environmentally degraded producing poor-quality runoff. They go through a process of establishing equitable, long-term access to the site before completing all necessary engineering designs and obtaining the approvals required to undertake the restoration work. With the help of different partners working with coastal wetland rehabilitation, the restoration process begins by re-introducing tidal flows onto drained and degraded low-lying coastal areas. As soon as tidal flows are introduced into a site, water quality improves and a new wetland ecosystem begins to form. The newly created blue carbon ecosystem keeps evolving and maturing over decades, creating ever-growing stocks of blue carbon, productive natural fisheries and rich biodiversity. The last step is creating carbon credits: Ecosystem recovery is initiated as soon as tidal flows are re-introduced to the degraded site, with blue carbon and associated credits accruing on the site over time. Not a big fan of carbon offsetting but if it can be a way to motivate companies and other stakeholders to restore key ecosystems like wetlands I think it can be worth it and it's a bit different from growing trees at least! https://restoreblue.org/

In an effort to reduce the consumption of meat and the greenhouse gas emissions it produces, the Dutch city of Haarlem located to the west of Amsterdam will become the world’s first to ban advertisements for meat in public spaces. Haarlem added meat to a list of goods that were determined to contribute to the climate crisis and as a result, advertisements for meat will be prohibited in the city of about 160,000 beginning in 2024. The wait is due to current contracts with the products’ companies. The legislation also includes a ban on advertisements for fossil fuels, fossil fuel-powered cars and vacation flights “We can’t tell people there’s a climate crisis and encourage them to buy products that are part of the cause,” says Haarlem GroenLinks councillor Ziggy Klazes, who drafted the motion. No meat advertisements will be permitted on buses, shelters or screens in Haarlem’s public space. So now Stockholm, what are you waiting for? https://www.ecowatch.com/meat-advertising-ban-netherlands.html

I'm still a bit perplexed as if how meat advertising is causing a problem with climate? Sounds like some bullshit to me? People are not talking about the real problems, most of these.. honestly I believe is the agenda of elite.... kinda like the fake numbers of COVID suffers, and deaths,.. most is bullshit.. if you can't come up with a real climate issue? Better yet,..Ban your hooker , prostitution..that seems like a bigger Problem then banning meat advertising..what your trying to do, is indoctrinate your future children into believing eating meat is killing the world, we all know that's bullshit,..focus on bad energy company practice, the truth about nuclear plants,..real issues, waste our time with the bullshit, and Why not just pipe down, take a back seat and listen till you find one thing that's true to the matters , nobody would think ill of you cause you haven't found a real issue within your community, I actually would think better of you, that means your not kissing the elites ass, just to save face.

More than 220 companies in Sweden – together accounting for almost one-fifth of the country’s GDP – have undersigned an opinion piece urging Swedish politicians to focus on the great business opportunities of the climate transition instead of treating it as mainly a problem. With the general election in Sweden just four days away, a massive gathering of Swedish companies has just delivered a clear message to the political parties: Give us incentives and tougher regulations, to help us take advantage of the enormous business opportunities implied in the climate transition. The opinion piece was published on Wednesday, September 7, in Aftonbladet, Sweden's biggest daily newspaper with four million daily readers. The 227 companies have a combined turnover of 1000 billion SEK. This represents almost a fifth of Sweden’s GDP. Among the signatures are CEO:s and other high-level representatives from big companies like Ericsson, Telia, Skanska, Polestar and Postnord, as well as a large number of medium-sized and small companies from all business sectors. The list also includes the airline company Bra, Sweden’s largest fuel company Preem, and ICA, the country’s leading grocery retailer. To see the full list of signatures, scroll to the bottom of the original article. https://www.aftonbladet.se/debatt/a/9zl9Jl/227-foretag-politiker-sluta-bromsa-klimatomstallningen We Don’t Have Time was the initiator of this joint call to action, together with GoClimate and Exponential Roadmap Initiative. ”It is gratifying to see that so many companies want stronger climate regulation and also end the support for the fossil-fuel subsidies. We will never solve the climate crisis if we don’t start phasing out these destructive subsidies now. And we definitely don’t have time to increase them, which unfortunately is part of the election pledges of most Swedish parties”, says Ingmar Rentzhog, CEO and founder of We Don’t Have Time. The op-ed attracted huge media attention in Sweden. Within the first 24 hours, more than 25 media organizations had picked up the story, and it was widely spread in social media. The op-ed set the political agenda in the biggest news programs on national TV, and it was also picked up by media organizations in France, Australia, the US and many other countries. Here is a full translation of the opinion piece: POLITICIANS – WHY DON'T YOU SEE THE OPPORTUNITIES IN A GREEN TRANSITION A green transition has the potential to provide a wealth of new opportunities for Swedish businesses and their employees. So why is it that politicians often choose to view it as a necessary evil; something that should be postponed to a future date if possible? On 25 August, 1,944 researchers and employees of academic institutions signed an opinion piece in the Swedish daily newspaper Aftonbladet with the headline “Politicians, enough is enough – start taking the climate crisis seriously”. The researchers outlined the risks to our climate and environment that will be beyond our control if we don’t expedite a green transition. Naturally, we agree. The climate crisis poses an existential threat to all, and we need rapid change. By 2030 we need to have halved global CO2 emissions to be in line with the Paris agreement of restricting global warming to a maximum of 1.5°C. What worries us is that so many of you Swedish politicians only view the transition as a problem, and not the great opportunity it really is. In the same way that Sweden took the lead in digitalization thanks to political decisions and extensive investments, we now have the same opportunity to take the lead on the climate transition. The Swedish business sector’s transition to climate friendly operations alone will create a multitude of new jobs. This is where innovations will be developed and where the major export potential can be found. More than half of the world’s combined GDP already originates from companies and organizations that have voluntarily joined the UN’s Race To Zero initiative, thus committed to leaving fossil fuels behind. These operators are now starting to implement stronger, climate friendly demands on their subcontractors and partners. In political debates, one sometimes hears the question, “Why should Sweden take the lead in the climate transition?” For us, this question is puzzling. In the business world, taking the lead is a top priority. That’s how you stay relevant, that’s how you finetune your products and services, and that’s how you decide which investments to make. Simply put, becoming climate-conscious is really about future-proofing your business and continuing to stay competitive. The companies that take sustainability seriously today are those that will be best equipped to do business tomorrow. And with the climate crisis on everyone’s minds, you can’t attract investors, customers and talent without making this transition. For us, it’s a no-brainer. Companies that fail to do so will soon be faced with such stringent environmental requirements from nations, regions, customers and partners that they will be completely excluded from central markets. This is not some distant future scenario. This is a sweeping change that has already begun. Just look at the automotive market, where key nations and regions welcome investment in new technology with open arms, but will shut their door on new sales of fossil-based cars in just a few years. We, the undersigned, don’t want to come second. We want to remain at the forefront. We want to lead the way and show the rest of the world that change is not only possible, but also a recipe for business success. This is where you politicians come into the picture. Because we can’t do this alone. We need both incentives and tougher regulations from your side, because greener standards will make us perform even better. We need long-term rules and clear goals, because this gives us security when making our investments. Some of you might think that we’re already there. We’re not. Today’s extensive and expanding fossil subsidies are keeping yesterday’s technologies on artificial life support, while slowing down the expansion of companies that have invested heavily in taking the next transition step. In the same way, the proposed decrease in the greenhouse gas reduction mandate for diesel and petrol would pull the rug out from under those companies that have invested heavily in the production of fossil-free fuels. While support programs are obviously needed to deal with a rampant energy crisis, these must be both long-term and designed so that companies which make the transition become winners. In order to rapidly move forward, we now need courage and clear political decisions to accelerate the transition, not to hamper it. We see incredible potential in transitioning to a fossil-free world. We hope you do too. Let’s do this together! The clock is ticking. And we don’t have time to wait.

Great article! We were happy to sign since leaving dependency on fossil fuels behind and doing everything we can to reach the Paris Agreement and stay well within 1.5 degrees of global warming is crucial, not only for us as a company but for humanity, for us to be able to live a good life on this planet. Achieving this goal requires rapid change and legislation that force us in the right direction. /Elina & Thomas at Emerson
