February 05, 2020 Sweden in Transition #10 - Thomas Sterner on Carbon Tax
Thomas STERNER is a renowned environmental economist, he was involved in the IPCC as one of the authors in charge of the chapters on policy design. He has published hundreds of scientific articles and more than a dozen books on various topics such as energy, climate, transport, resource management and carbon pricing. Thomas shared his vision of the current climate situation as well as key outputs from the latest IPCC report. He then explained why Carbon Tax is the best tool at our disposal, how it works and also how it could ultimately be used to systematically integrate externalities in prices. We also discussed its acceptance, comparing the case of France with the yellow vests crisis, with Sweden, where Carbon Tax has been created as early as 1991! That lead us on various topics such as energy transition, inequalities in revenue but also inequalities between cities and rural areas and of course on politics, and how the risks could escalate if we have bad policies on top of the environnemental crisis.
Thomas shared all that and more with his warmth and humour, providing us with insights and hope!!

August 07, 2019 Sweden in Transition #4 - Elin Aronsen Beis, Zero food waste
Foodloopz is a food waste marketplace B2B, so companies, organizations and the public sector with surpluses and wastage can meet other parties with needs. No company should destroy edible foods because they lack time, alternative customers or because of cannibalism of their own market. Instead the entire chain should buy, sell, donate or call for parties with good food that risk becoming shrinking and finding new ways in a cost-effective way, that is what Foodloopz does!

Jörgen is a regenerative farmer and Founder of the Savory Institute Nordic Hub. To feed our global population and meet our climate emission reduction targets, we know we have to reduce our meat consumption. But livestock integration can play an important role in regenerative agriculture, such as building soil health to sequester carbon. Today, we will talk about regenerative agriculture and understand what holistic management means. We will discuss about the specific experience of Mountain Grazing in the North of Sweden, but also more generally on food & transition.
