Media, myndigheter och civilsamhällets omställning under corona har visat att vi kan göra snabba förändringar - om vi verkligen vill. [Summary in English below]. Men för att det ska ske behöver människor bli medvetna. Frågan är enkel: Vill vi fortsätta leva i förnekelse eller vill vi #FaceTheClimateEmergency och kräva tillräcklig information så att vi tillsammans kan agera på riktigt? Tänk dig en corona-pandemi UTAN regelbundna presskonferenser och utan de breda samarbeten som uppstått för att lösa krisen. Som vi sett i flera länder är det enkelt att konstatera hur förnekelse aldrig är lösningen och att få skulle tolerera stora åtgärder utan att förstå varför. Förnekelse är heller inte lösningen för den mycket mer omfattande klimat- och hållbarhetskrisen. Det är dags för förändring. Var tredje svensk vill ha mer information om klimat och hållbarhet [2]. Vi vill därför att regeringen och berörda myndigheter börjar med regelbundna presskonferenser om klimat och hållbarhet. Tryck Agree om du håller med. [Summary in English] The transformation of media, authorities and civil society during the pandemic has shown that we can make rapid changes - if we want to and understand why. The same goes to the climate- and sustainability crisis. We need to #FaceTheClimateEmergency and demand enough information so that we can act together for real. We therefore want the Swedish government to start with regular press conferences on climate and sustainability, just like they have done during the pandemic.

More and more airlines offer ”flights to nowhere” where you take off and land in the same place. Singapore Airlines, Taiwan's Eva Air, Brunei Airways, and Japan Airlines, they all do it! Emitting enormous amounts of co2 for nothing. But the airline Qantas is the worst one. They are not just melting the ice in the Antarctic. They are actually selling sightseeing flights to go there and back watching it melt! 12-hour flights to nowhere emitting around 2-ton co2 emissions that melts about 6 m2 of ice per passenger! This must stop. It is insane! We need ecocide laws now!

My local Coop store that brags about being an ” environmentally friendly store” sells fresh meat from the other side of the world. You could choose from meat imported from Canada or Australia, described as something extraordinary, a premium product packed by Coop Sweden. Seriously Coop. Why do we need to transport meat from the other side of the world? What is wrong with selling meat from the same country or at least from the same continent?

Not only is beef very unsustainable to raise, exporting it fresh overseas means it has to be sent by plane producing even more emissions for just a single meal! It’s crazy!

The current level of meat consumption is totally unsustainable. If a Northern country has meat demand so high that to meet it at volume and low financial price they must import from Oceania - destroying forests there and polluting the atmosphere as well - then that country should reduce meat consumption to a more sustainable level.

In the middle of the climate crisis and COP 25 in Madrid (international climate conference), we are confronted here in Sweden with the fact that Swedish company Igrene has applied for extraction permit of fossil gas/natural gas here in our country, a first time ever phenomenon. Yet the Swedish government, in collaboration with several other political parties, have made an agrement to write a new a law that will prohibit any fossil extraction on Swedish land territory (extraction from the sea is already prohibited) by 2022. If Igrene is given permission before the new law goes into effect they will be able to pollute and increase emissions by burning natural gas for decades. If Sweden really is to become a climate leader we must inspire and walk the talk by innovation and good example and can obviously not allow ANY fossil extraction in our country! We urge the Swedish government to take action before it is too late, the climate and our future is at stake!

Establishment of a local e-waste recycling facility in Kenya. IDEA BY-:) Patrick Kiarie Nyokabi, Entrepreneur-Thika,Kenya pakinyok@gmail.com Kevin Njeru Mount Kenya University IT LECTURER. njerukevin@gmail.com Introduction The production and use of Electrical and Electronic Equipment (EEE) continues to grow in both developing and developed countries (Purnomo & Lee, 2010). This has led to an increase in the amount of Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) at its End-of-Life (EoL). According to the United Nations Environmental Programme (UNEP), the world produces as much as 50 million tons of electronic and electrical waste (e-waste) a year, weighing more than all of the commercial airliners ever made. Consider this, the UN for example argues that The U.N. says that while the world’s 7 billion people have 4.5 billion toilets, they also have over 6 billion phones (MINISTRY OF ENVIRONMENT AND FORESTRY NATIONAL E-WASTE MANAGEMENT STRATEGY **** REVISED DRAFT ****, 2019). Only less than 20% of e-waste is formally recycled, with 80% either ending up in landfill or being informally recycled – much of it by hand in developing countries, exposing workers to hazardous and carcinogenic substances such as mercury, lead and cadmium (Asiimwe, n.d.). E-waste in landfill contaminates soil and groundwater, putting food supply systems and water sources at risk.. The agency further opines that Global e-waste production is on track to reach 120 million tons per year by 2050 if current trends continue(Liza, 2015). Many electronic gadgets, including cell phones, computers, televisions, HiFi systems, refrigerators, and a host of other electronic appliances are manufactured using a variety of harmful substances including lead, hexavalent chromium, phthalates and brominated flame retardants. Yet these substances are so critical to the devices that they cannot function without them. Lead, for instance, is effective as a solder while flame retardants keep computers from bursting into flames as we type. But for all their usefulness, they come with serious health implications. The fact that electronic waste is non-biodegradable presents another serious challenge for disposal of electronic waste to global governments(UNEP & Our Planet, 2013). The most detailed study of the used electronics issue was performed in 2009 by the UN Environment Programme, which found that Ghana imported 215,000 metric tons of “electric and electronic equipment” that year. Thirty percent of that total was new equipment. Of the 70 percent that constituted used goods, 20 percent needed repairs and 15 percent—or roughly 22,575 tons—was unsellable and bound for the dump. The Stockholm Convention is a global treaty designed to protect human health and the environment from chemicals that remain intact in the environment for long periods of time, that become widely distributed geographically, that accumulate in the fatty tissues of humans and wildlife, and that have harmful impacts on human health or on the environment. There are several persistent organic pollutants present in E-waste, and the listing of E-waste requires parties of the Stockholm Convention to take appropriate measures to eliminate the release of these pollutants from stockpiles and wastes. According to Samwel Matonda, a chemist and the director of the Kenya Association of Manufacturers, warns that some of the discarded electronic gadgets have radioactive elements that are hazardous to the environment and health. “The heavy metals or chemicals can cause diseases such as cancers and skin irritation in people who get into contact with them. Also, the chemicals can leak into rivers whose waters are used for irrigation, posing further challenges, Problem statement A research conducted in 2014 UNEP titled Solving the E-waste Problem” indicated that Kenya generates more than 44,000 tonnes of e-waste annually, with experts noting that irresponsible disposal of electronics has contributed significantly to environmental degradation and an increase in poor health among citizens (www.unep.org). Much of this e-waste is disposed off in compost heaps or stays isolated in offices and work areas for lack of better formal ways of disposing it. In most cases, citizens have turned to burning electronic waste as a way of disposal thereby endangering their health and the health of those in the society as these harmful gases are released into the environment. Even more destructive is the harm that these gases cause to the environment. It is important to note that in the emerging field of research on green information Technology (green IT), disposal of electronic waste has for long been argued (Otieno & Omwenga, 2016). One option that some people have already taken in developing economies has been the use of informal e-waste recycling. Those involved in the trade collect the gadgets, separate the plastic, motherboards, batteries and copper wire for sale and then burn those that are of no value to them. But there are concerns that such primitive recycling techniques of burning the materials such as cables to extract copper expose those involved to toxic fumes, which can lead to respiratory illnesses. Proposed solution There is need to refocus the global environmental conservation efforts to Africa. As much as Africa's contribution to global Greenhouse gas (GhG) emissions remains low (estimated at just 7.1%), all indications are that the carbon footprint of Africa is expected to grow tremendously over the next decade. For long, African economies have been heavily reliant on imports from Western economies and Asia, yet in the last few years the GDP of African countries has consistently grown owing to improvement in infrastructure, transport, construction and real estate, focus on manufacturing and shift to ICT.Needless to note that these are the key industries that have the highest carbon footprint with the construction sector for example estimated to have contributed about 39% of energy and process related Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions in 2018 alone. This points to the fact that as Africa gears up to industrialization, a steep rise in its carbon footprint is expected, this does not sound any good for our environment. But perhaps there is hope; this is because Africa offers an opportunity to integrate a green culture in its development road map; from green transportation, green energy, green construction, green cities, green manufacturing, green supply chain, green ICT and green buildings. This can directly translate to a healthier environment, more productive businesses and a healthier people. Needless to point that going green involves a complete change of our lifestyle to what we would call a "green lifestyle" in which all our economic and social activities are driven by a desire for a healthier and safer environment. In the case of electrical and electronics for example, African is put in a catch 22 situation. This is because their economic disadvantage has created a loophole where developed countries have turned to dumping their obsolete devices to the continent. And whereas African countries have seen this as a benefit owing to the cheap cost of these devices, some of them which actually come as donations, these devices have a short economic life and thus in a few months or years of usage, the burden of disposing these devices had been left on the shoulders of these economies to bear. And with no proper disposal mechanisms for electronic devices to use,most users have developed bizarre and dangerous disposal mechanisms that have not only endangered our environment but even risked the lives of the same people we should be protecting this environment for. This project therefore aims to develop a local recycling center for used electronic devices that would assist in the repair of used electronic devices and giving them out for free in order to extend their end use cycle as well as acting as a collection center for devices that have grown obsolete and transporting them to the only accredited ewaste facility, East African Compliant Recycling (EACR) in Machakos. This will also involve an extensive public awareness campaign for small the communities living within the county with the aim of enlightening them o the dangers of continued environmental pollution as well as how electronic waste affects the environment and human welfare in the society. Thank you and Kind Regards Patrick Kiarie Nyokabi. +254-723-240-736 pakinyok@gmail.com

Thanks for making the idea to reach level 2,we can make it reach level 3.... well I may like to add this-:) Prior research has shown that as at 2007, computing contributes 2-3% of the global environmental pollution. This, has been projected to grow by 2025 to about 8%. With the continued adoption of computers and mobile device usage, the carbon footprint from these devices is also expected to grow. The good news is that most electronic companies have developed mechanisms to manufacture environmental friendly devices(energy star), yet still the challenge of use of fossil fuels especially in Africa to power these devices and the question of how to dispose obsolete computing devices has not been fully addressed. For example, it was estimated that by switching off computers overnight in London, the amount of environmental saving was equivalent to taking 40,000 cars of the road. Research has shown that most companies are aware of the benefits of going green, however the question of the cost of transitioning to a green business has in so many ways kept organizations from making the all important shift. A report carried out by UNEP in 2013 (business case for green economy clearly highlighted the benefits of making this transition and the challenges that organizations faced. For this, it is important to pride businesses with cost effective approaches to greening their operations. In the same way, more efforts need to be directed towards eliminating the carbon footprint of computing and finding innovative ways in which computers can be used to eliminate the carbon footprint caused by other in computing factors such as construction, transport and the likes. Our world needs to breath, we all need to come together and ensure we do the best for our children so that we can leave a better world for the future generations.

The Swedish government is facing a major climate decision: Will they allow Swedish oil company, Preem, to increase their carbon emissions by a whopping one million tonnes a year, or act to protect our children’s futures? Oil company, Preem is looking to expand their Preemraff facility, making it Sweden’s single biggest emitter of CO2. If the government gives the go-ahead to this expansion, it would both add to wrecking the climate, and seriously undermine Sweden’s international reputation as a climate leader. This expansion is unacceptable. Every tonne of carbon emitted is adding to our children's climate burden. We cannot expand fossil fuel infrastructure anywhere, if we are to completely decarbonise our societies and meet the Paris agreement. Local resistance near Preemraff is building, along with national pressure on the government to say no to the expansion. Now, we need international pressure to stop this madness. As parents we cannot stand idly by, while companies and governments are putting profits before the children we love! Sweden has a track record of being an international climate leader. Now is the time to act boldly to break free from the old, and invest in the new. Please click ‘agree’ to tell the Swedish government that they must stop the expansion of Preemraff.

Too Good To Go is not only an app to fight food waste, but rather a movement trying to change the perception of food and the huge amount of food we waste today. A big part of fighting food waste is education. This is why I was happy to find out that Too Good To Go offers free educational material for different ages, from age 10 to university students. And the best part of it: Everything is free! More teachers and schools should know about this and include the material in their curriculum on a regular basis. For example: "The Banana Journey" for ages 10-13 which in a fun way illustrates the chain of events happening before we have the banana in our stores and kitchens. Spread this to your teachers and schools to keep educating people about food waste and how fighting food waste helps us accelerating the climate transition.

The oil industry was hit with oil prices falling to a record low this week. For a while, so low that suppliers paid to get rid of the oil. Particularly affected is the US oil companies engaged in fracking. In order for the extraction to be profitable, a high oil price is required, and if the crisis continues many oil companies are at risk of going out of business. That is if the market forces were to determine their faith. Unfortunately, that is not the case when it comes to the oil industry, which has close ties to the Trump administration. If we are to build a sustainable future, we need to keep it in the ground. This applies to both coal and oil!

This campaign aims to convince Swedish courts and politicians to follow the agreed Climate law and Paris agreement and stop the expansion of Preem refinary in Lysekil. In times where we know we quickly have to phase out our dependence of fossil fuels and heavily reduce our emissions of carbon dioxide, it seems irrational, ill-advised and irresponsible to give a Saudi oil company permission to double its carbon dioxide emissions and further detain us in this destructive direction. In November 2018, Swedish Land and Environment court authorized Preem to expand their refinery in Lysekil, Sweden, thereby doubling the plant’s already heavy carbon dioxide emissions to a shocking 3,5 billion tons a year without a time limit. This decision was taken after Sweden signed the Paris agreement, after Sweden instituted a new climate law and just a few weeks after IPCC’s report was released. In short, Swedish authorities knows that we must heavily reduce our carbon dioxide emissions and phase out our dependence on fossil fuels in order to limit the impact of climate change. So, why did Preem get a permission from Swedish authorities? Are the laws that toothless or are we not following the laws? A private company’s investment of 15 billions in fossil fuels should, in the light of what we know about climate change, be both unprofitable and impossible in 2019. Companies and states should have to invest all available resources in the development in alternatives to fossil fuels instead of expanding an infrastructure that further captures us in the dependence on them. Stopping the expansion of Preem refinery in Lysekil is an important issue in many ways, first of all to prevent the actual increased emissions of carbon dioxide, and not only that, approving this expansion also legitimizes continued investments in fossil fuels, despite the fact that all the world's research shows that we must move quickly in the opposite direction! This means that this is a symbolical issue and a crossroad: will Sweden continue to deny the implications of climate change or should we follow the ambitious goals and visions formulated in the agreed climate law? In March 19th 2019 the Swedish Climate Policy Council handed its report to the Swedish Government, proposing that " the Government should introduce legislation that, in addition to the usual permit examination under the Environmental Code and the Industrial Emissions Directive, gives the government the opportunity to test new activities that may affect the climate". One of the Climate Policy Council's points in the report is to introduce legislation that gives the government the right to test the establishment of activities that counteract the possibilities of achieving the national climate goals. This is obviously highly relevant in the case of Preem refinery in Lysekil. The institutions of society should protect common interest, not the interests of companies and private organizations. And today this means that the institutions and laws created over the last century is out of date and no longer can protect us, so they need to change. And good news! Institutions and laws are socially constructed and formed by us, together, and they can only be legitimate as long as we continue to give them legitimacy. It has become time for us to radically change the system, and it has been done before. History lets us remember the brave women and men in politics and in courts that has changed laws and institutions and thereby changed the paths of mankind. This is why we urge Mark- och miljööverdomstolen to be brave, to have the guts to choose to interpret the climate law as binding and therefore rule against the expansion of the Preem refinery in Lysekil. We believe it is time to demand that the climate law and the Paris agreement is respected by our politicians and institutions. Because soon it may be too late for warnings. Our generation has a time-limited opportunity to limit climate change and stop a total disaster.
