Stockholm is set to implement a stringent ban on gas- and diesel-powered cars in parts of its city center starting in 2025. The initiative, spearheaded by Sweden’s Vice Mayor for Transport and Urban Environment, Lars Strömgren, aims to enhance air quality and reduce traffic-related noise pollution. A 20-block environmental zone, encompassing some of the city's most expensive real estate, will be affected by the prohibition. Electric vehicles (EVs) will be the primary permitted vehicles in this class-three environmental zone, with some exceptions for larger plug-in hybrid vans, emergency service vehicles, and those with documented disabilities. The move by Stockholm is seen as a step toward encouraging the adoption of EVs and addressing critical public health concerns related to air quality. This move by Stockholm is a significant step toward prioritizing environmental sustainability. It is a response to the alarming health effects of air pollution, particularly affecting vulnerable groups like babies and the elderly. The city's decision is more stringent than similar bans in cities like Athens, Paris, and Madrid, and it underscores the urgency to transition to cleaner transportation options. While some transportation companies have called for a greater focus on expanding electric charging infrastructure, the new regulation represents a notable commitment to pushing forward with stricter environmental standards, with the hope of setting an example for other urban areas looking to improve their air quality and promote electrification. https://www.cnbc.com/2023/10/17/stockholm-bans-diesel-and-gas-cars-from-driving-downtown-starting-2025.html#:~:text=Climate-,Stockholm%20bans%20diesel%2D%20and%20gas%2Dpowered%20cars,from%20driving%20downtown%20starting%202025&text=Sweden's%20capital%20city%20plans%20to,to%20reduce%20traffic%20and%20pollution.
Stockholm bans diesel- and gas-powered cars from driving downtown starting 2025
The Swedish capital plans to negotiate an expansion of the ban in the first half of 2025.

Can reduce the global energy consumption and carbon footprint of data centers by 27 percent per year. According to a new report from the research firm Atlantic Ventures, next-generation HCI architecture has the potential to reduce the global energy consumption and carbon footprint of data centers by 27 percent per year. In the entire EMEA region, this corresponds to reduced energy consumption by 56.7 TWh and reduced emissions by 14.2 million tonnes of carbon dioxide during the period 2022-2025. In response to the global climate crisis and the recent energy crisis, Nutanix has sponsored an in-depth report to help decision makers not only minimize energy costs but also radically reduce the carbon footprint of their data centers. The savings can be significant. As an example, a full transition to HCI in all UK data centers by 2025 could potentially save 8.1 TWh of energy and 1.8 million tonnes of CO2 emissions, which is roughly equivalent to taking 400,000 cars off the road.

The most effective way to reduce waste is to not create it in the first place. Making a new product emits greenhouse gases that contribute to climate change and requires a lot of materials and energy - raw materials must be extracted from the earth, and the product must be fabricated then transported to wherever it will be sold. As a result, reduction and reuse are the most effective ways you can save natural resources, protect the environment and save money. https://www.brightvibes.com/waste-not-want-not-sweden-is-using-tax-incentives-to-encourage-repairs/
Waste not, want not: Sweden is using tax incentives to encourage repairs
Swedish government tackles 'throwaway culture' by slashing tax on fixing everything from clothing and footwear to bicycles and washing machines.

This is a great way for Sweden to reduce waste and its environmental impact. By offering tax incentives to individuals and businesses who repair products instead of buying new ones, Sweden is taking a proactive approach to reducing waste and helping the environment.

It is generally assumed that heavy battery electric freight trucks are unlikely to play a significant role in decarbonization strategies, due to a number of limitations. However, this article argues that this assumption is incorrect and that, with fast charging technology, the prospect of electrifying these vehicles becomes significantly more realistic. Making heavy trucks battery electric is very difficult, especially when it comes to ensuring that their range matches that of diesel trucks. Decarbonizing road freight using heavy battery electric freight trucks is generally found to be of limited feasibility as a means of combating climate change, due to the high costs and low gravimetric specific energy of batteries. Reviews of decarbonization strategies thus generally conclude that, as a result of these technical limitations, heavy battery electric freight trucks are likely to play a rather small role. The authors of this paper, however, challenge this argument. They posit that, if electric trucks can be fast-charged in the same way as personal electric vehicles, the required range is dramatically reduced and electrification becomes much more realistic. In this article, they demonstrate that the competitiveness of battery electric trucks compared to diesel trucks can actually improve with larger trucks if fast charging becomes available. They also note that conclusions on electric trucks are sensitive to technology improvements; since battery technology is improving quickly, the assumptions about battery cost and lifetime on which previous findings were based are changing, meaning that the feasibility of heavy battery electric trucks is also changing fast. With shorter range and more frequent charging, savings from electrification scale faster than the costs of electrification and the negative impact on load capacity do. Focusing analysis on economic competitiveness instead of technical parity indicates that current battery technology is close to a threshold where electric trucks become feasible. Future research and policymaking on how to reduce carbon emission from trucks need to consider battery electric options closer. Nykvist, B. and Olsson, O. (2021).

The 1972 United Nations Conference on the Human Environment in Stockholm began a new era of global cooperation on environmental issues. It paved the way for the concept of sustainable development and led to the birth of the United Nations Environment Programme. What lessons does it hold as we face mounting global crises? Key Messages • The 1972 United Nations Conference on the Human Environment in Stockholm, Sweden, was the first-ever UN conference with the word “environment” in the title. • The Stockholm Declaration provided the first global set of principles for future international cooperation on environmental issues. • The Conference led to the establishment of the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP). • The Conference was the first UN event that supported civil society participation. • Stockholm began a new era of global cooperation to search for solutions to reconcile economic development and environmental management and paved the way for the concept of sustainable development.

There is a recent proposal in Oslo that cyclists should be able to repair their bicycles free of charge to make it easier for people to avoid public transportation, reducing the spread of covid-19. This would be a great initiative in general, to make it easier for people to choose the bicycle and to keep the wheels spinning. For too long the car has been the norm and prioritized in the community building. That needs to change! Encourage people to 🚲!

Preschools in Enskede-Årsta-Vantör (southern district of Stockholm city, Sweden) are at the forefront when it comes to preparing tasty lunches with low climate impact. The responsible dietest and head chef Ann-Kristin Svensson set the climate goals according to the UN Agenda 2030 and WWF's One planet plate, a guide and labeling of sustainable meals. The goal was to halve greenhouse gas emissions, and with the help of the climate module, existing recipes were adjusted. - I calculated how much greenhouse gases each portion would give rise to. But the nutritional content always goes first, kids should get all the minerals and vitamins they need. - Today, a preschool lunch gives rise to 0.44 kilos per serving. WWF's recommendation is 0.5 kilos per serving, so we achieve the goal with a good margin, Ann-Kristin continues. The benefits of a diet coordinator are several. - Together with the chefs, I produce the season's food package that I calculate nutrition and cost. The amount of greenhouse gases is also checked, when this is complete, the food voucher is sent to the preschool kitchen. - Since recipes and food vouchers are planned centrally, time for the chefs is freed up, now they can spend more time on the actual cooking, concludes Ann-Kristin.
