The green transition is the opportunity of a lifetime. As long as we get to action — a letter from Staffan & Joe

Here comes an update-heavy love letter which we're very excited about! We're inviting you to a hackathon on democracy and youth as well as a discussion on the world's largest climate perception survey featuring Sverker Jagers. AT continues to collaborate with Hyper Island, this time on an exciting H&M brief... and a lot more, let's dive into it!

Can you believe this is our 50th love letter? Anyone here who's been with us since we released the first one back in 2020? We're excited to present you this edition in a revamped design! Our curation team brings you Patagonia's bold move and an announcement from our partner Sverker. We also feature two articles about clean energy projects in the US and the summer of climate disasters.

How was your summer break? We hope you had a good and relaxing time. As our team returns from summer vacation, we checked in to find out what they've been up to, and more about what's next for the rest of this year. Read to the end for an interesting piece on how traditional farming practices can also have a significant part in combatting climate change!

This week, we dive into our process behind bringing Utopia Lab from start to finish. We also share about how the war in Ukraine is affecting climate change efforts and a podcast recommendation for all of you who'd like to learn about the innovative solutions to climate change that have emerged globally.

This week, the long-awaited Utopia Lab hackathon finally happened at H22 City Expo in Helsingborg. We also have an exciting announcement regarding a new client. Last but not least, we highlight some updates on key climate legislation from the European Parliament. Enjoy! 

This week, we feature Sverker's amazing achievement, welcome our latest addition to the team from Canada, and share two pieces on renewable energy transition and the energy-intensive fast-fashion industry. Enjoy!

Have you ever wondered what determines public opinion about climate change taxes and laws? We’re proud to announce that Sverker Jagers, one of Sweden’s leading climate researchers (and our friend and partner!) had his article recently published in Nature Climate Change.

Are you up for hacking some of our biggest challenges? Then Utopia Lab is just the right place for you - scroll down to learn more! We've also curated some reading material highlighting Stanford's new school focused on climate change and sustainability, as well as another interesting read about Mother's Day. Enjoy!

This week's love letter is short and sweet but we promise you we'll be back with an exciting update around Utopia Lab in the next edition (and potentially some more news, stay tuned 👀 ). Nevertheless, we got some great reading recommendations for you so don't miss out! 

Happy Easter! This love letter is all about innovation. Our CEO Staffan explains how to build an innovative culture and we talk about fostering internal innovation in a global organisation, electronic repair subsidies in Austria, and the sixth IPCC report.

How are you? It looks like the snow is back again in Stockholm and it's not even April yet! Today, we have an exciting announcement about Business and Climate Change. We also discuss France's most valuable start-up (hint: circular economy) and the future of cars and clothing.
