01 Strengthening the Power and Influence of the Young | |
Did you know that only two out of ten individuals between the age of 13-25 know how they can have an impact on the decisions being made in their municipality*? There seem to be no good solutions to involve young people in the traditional processes of local democracy. Until now.
Another Tomorrow is thrilled to announce that we’ll be going on another journey together with Youth 2030 Movement to strengthen the influence of young people in democratic processes in rural Sweden. In the upcoming year, we’ll be running ideation workshops, collaborative hackathons, and establishing platforms for and with local youth. They will be equipped with the right tools and methods to harness their creativity, ideas and solutions. One of the key success factors is that they then get to collaborate with the municipalities’ decision-makers to effect real change and improvements within their hometowns.
This cross-disciplinary collaboration led by Youth 2030 Movement will involve not only Another Tomorrow but also Glappet and the municipalities Munkfors, Falköping and Torsby, and will be supported by Sweden’s innovation agency Vinnova. Our ambition is to first test and then scale the existing methods developed by Youth 2030 and Another Tomorrow, in order to create better conditions for youth’s democratic influence in Sweden, and their hometowns.
"At Another Tomorrow we’re used to navigating complex matters and facilitating long-term change processes in a sustainable and scalable way. Prototyping enables us to shorten the learning process and opens up for more perspectives to participate. Having the chance to establish forums for young people from different backgrounds and age groups, and empower their unique perspectives and ideas, makes us very proud. We're looking forward to applying our methods and knowledge in order to give youth the ability to use their power to create their own future" — Karin Wåhlberg, Head of Business Design

02 Calling All Climate Committed (Again)
|
|
In Love Letter #30 we asked you to share what you would like to know about the upcoming Climate Change Conference (COP26) in Glasgow, and even though we already have a great collection of questions, here's another chance for you to share with us what you'd like to know.
Next week we'll be talking to climate researchers Åsa von Ekensteen and Sverker Jagers to get a better understanding of the conference, what it means for us as individuals and companies, and what we need to do in order to reach these goals.
This year's climate goals are:
1. Secure global net zero by mid-century and keep 1.5 degrees within reach
2. Adapt to protect communities and natural habitats
3. Mobilise finance
4. Work together to deliver

03 Curated by Another Tomorrow

> The clothing industry stands for about 10% of global greenhouse gas emissions. To say the least, that's a lot. What inspired us this week was when we stumbled upon American fashion brand Reformation's Climate Positive Roadmap. Take a look here.
> On the topic of doing things right (and wrong) and how to be brutally honest about it, Vogue Business has looked into different brands and their sustainability work and communications around it. Some good findings in there, click here to find out for yourselves.
