Tänk om Sverige skulle visa globalt ledarskap och bli första landet med egna konsumtionsmål? Vi vet att ni på Miljömålsberedningen jobbar hårt in i det sista med att lägga fram era etappmål, styrmedel och åtgärder för Sveriges klimatmål. Vårt erbjudande om att hjälpa till står kvar!

Vi har lagt fram förslag med bl.a. sektorspecifika mål. I rapporten “Mot nettonoll: så minskar vi konsumtionsutsläppen” hittar ni även konkreta förslag på styrmedel (länk i bio). Vi tar gärna ett möte med er, Amanda Palmstierna Palmstierna, Christofer Fjellner, Elin Segerlind, Joar Forsell, Kjell-Arne Ottoson, Magnus Manhammar, Marlene Burwick, Martin Kinnunen, Nina Lundström och Rickard Nordin. Vad säger ni?

Kunskap är första steget för att förvandla kli

Kunskap är första steget för att förvandla klimatångest till handling. Inom initiativet #Klimatagendan har vi tagit fram ett folkbildningspaket i samarbete med fack- och studieförbund. Materialet är fritt att använda och att sprida. Allt är tillgängligt online och ingen registrering krävs. Eftersom alla goda ting är 3️⃣ lanserar vi stolt idag:

- ”Klimatnyfiken” – ca. 60 minuter. Du kan göra den själv hemma, framför datorn eller i telefonen.
- ”Klimatsamtal” – online studiematerial för studiecirklar på fem tillfällen. Studiehandledning och ett nedladdningsbart kurskompendium finns.
- ”Klimatengagemang” – bokningsbara pass för fackföreningar och studieförbund som vill utbilda sina Klimatsambassadörer.

Läs mer om våra klimatkurser här på länk i bio. Har du 60 minuter över i helgen, varsågod och klicka dig vidare till ”Klimatnyfiken”.

Ett stort tack till Klimatagendans partners – inte minst Svenska Postkodstiftelsen och Union to Union, som finansierade utbildningspaketet. Och även till ST, Handelsanställdas förbund, IF Metall, LO, Byggnads, Svenska Transportarbetareförbundet, TCO Sverige, Unionen, Vision, ABF, Folkuniversitetet, Sensus, Studiefrämjandet, Studieförbundet Vuxenskolan samt Grade och Spilloteket, för att ni har varit med och tagit fram detta material.

Is there transparency on how the #2030Agenda is implemented locally? To which extent do the #SustainableDevelopmentGoals need to be aligned with public budget processes? How do we make sure that roles and responsibilities implementing the #SDGs are clear? These challenges were discussed in our #LocalisingSDGs seminar, as we launched our report on this topic. Our partners from #Belarus, #Georgia, #Sweden and #Ukraine contributed, and you can watch it now on our Youtube, too. 🇸🇪🇬🇪🇺🇦🇧🇾

Female social entrepreneurs face structural obstacles that span across sectors and geographies.

The Women Leaders anthology identifies challenges: less funding, discrimination, lower levels of ownership, and lack of role models. But it also focuses on solutions and ways forward.

🗣'It is important that women are enabled to add

🗣'It is important that women are enabled to address the issues they wish to through their enterprises as there are some issues that women understand better than men.’

👉In the last #WomenLeadersTalks for the year , together with @reachforchange and The Swedish Institute we talk with the strong Cecilia Fiaka - a social entrepreneur from Ghana, who has dedicated herself to empowering the youth, especially girls and young women in rural less privileged areas. This led her to establish the @nnekayouthfoundation where she offers youth development summer camps, Interactive workshops, social orientation seminars, educational and vocational training as well as career development clinics to youth, teenage mothers and the underprivileged in order to protect them from social vices. She also runs a scholarship and reintegration program for youths who have fallen into drug abuse and teenage pregnancy to help them get back into school, equip them with relevant vocational skills and settle back into society.

❓Why is gender equal distribution of investment capital an important issue?
It is important to give women equal chances and opportunities. It legitimizes female entrepreneurs and gives recognition to the ideas, business models and human worth that women have. It is important that women are enabled to address the issues they wish to through their enterprises as there are some issues that women understand better than men. Therefore, female entrepreneurs need to be given the same financial opportunities as male.

❓What can be done to obtain a gender equal business sector and ensure economic inclusion for women? Who should lead the way?
There is a need for extensive and equal education for both girls and boys to change mindsets from an early age. Advocacy work is a cornerstone in promoting role models and endorsing female entrepreneurs. Women have to lead the way as women work together and create networking spaces for themselves. The government has a part to play in creating an enabling environment, but real change also has to come from the grassroots working towards the top.
