Activism & Opinion 

I first marched for climate in 2014. Since then I've been increasingly drawn to speak out on what climate and sustainability research implies for society. I strongly support the democratically agreed political goals in the Paris Climate Agreement and the Sustainable Development Goals. I believe I have a special responsibility as a scientist to both communicate the urgency of the science, and to walk the talk. 

Swedish climate researchers support Greta's school strike

Picture
I was one of 20 scientists in Sweden who contributed to writing the text for an op-ed (debattartikel) supporting the school strike for climate on 15 March 2019 (signed by over 270 scientists and counting). 

Climate law must guide transport planning

Proposed Stockholm road expansion will lead to more emissions- we need to rethink transport from a climate perspective, we argue in this op-ed (in Swedish).

LUCSUS research: Evidence to inform action
