As our team is enjoying a well deserved Summer break and probably out hiking in the Austrian Alps, sailing somewhere on the Swedish west coast or relaxing in Gotland, we put together a love letter filled with recommendations for the Summer holidays. We hope you enjoy it and we will be back here very soon.

What to listen to this Summer

Outrage + Optimism. Founded by former UN Chief Christiana Figueres and the team who brought you the Paris Agreement, this podcast dives into politics, climate policies and news with a lot of interesting guests from scientists to activists and business leaders.
'The Interview' by The Daily. A conversation with marine biologist, writer and policy expert Dr. Ayana Elizabeth Johnson about how to overcome climate denial. Also make sure to put her upcoming book "What if We Get It Right?" - a collection of interviews with leaders from various fields about promising climate possibilities - on your reading list.
Volts. We've recommended this one before as it's one of Brianne's favourites so why not put it in here again. Volts is a podcast about leaving fossil fuels behind and the founder, David Roberts, talks to politicians, analysts, innovators, and activists about the latest progress in the fight against climate change.
Listen to 30 years of climate change transformed into haunting music. The geoscientist and musician Hirota Nagai turns satellite data collected from the Arctic and Antarctic into a haunting six-minute piece that asks listeners to feel, rather than intellectually understand, the ways that human activity are affecting the planet.

Industrins klimatomställning börjar ta fart. Industrin står för en tredjedel av Sveriges territoriella utsläpp av växthusgaser. Utsläppen kommer framför allt från större industrianläggningar inom järn- och stålindustri, mineralindustri, kemi-och raffinaderiindustri, gruvor och övrig metallindustri. Det är en stor utmaning att minska utsläppen från dessa anläggningar, men mycket är på gång. Naturvårdsverket har tagit fram ett antal indikatorer för industrins klimatomställning, som baseras på samtal med representanter från de största industrierna och offentlig information.
Obsession with growth is enriching elites and killing the planet. We need an economy based on human rights. In this article, Olivier De Schutter, a UN Special Rapporteur on extreme poverty and human rights, argues that the ongoing quest for growth is pushing our planet way beyond its limits. "Six of the nine 'planetary boundaries' – Earth’s life-support systems – have already been crossed. For too long, the health of our planet has been sacrificed for inequitable material gain." He also offers an alternative.
