"Spotlight on, focus area “Transformation”"

“Spotlight on” is a feature that introduces new work done by Mistra Environmental Communication researchers, outlining the key issues and challenges explored, and their societal relevance to sustainability transitions. In this feature, we get to know more about the focus area “Co-creating transformations through environmental communication” led by researcher Sara Holmgren. This focus area centers around emerging, locally anchored land-use narratives as communicative acts that seek to reconnect people and nature to foster meaningful and responsible practices.

"Renewed Passion and Broader Perspectives: My Time as a Communicator-in-Residence"

During October and November 2023, I had the honour of being part of the Mistra Environmental Communication (Mistra EC) programme as a Communicator-in-Residence. What’s that? Well, neither the programme nor I really knew before.

"Reflections on four years of Mistra Environmental Communication"

After four years of research, exploration, and collaboration, the first phase of MISTRA Environmental Communication – Reframing communication for sustainability, with its core of researchers from seven universities in four countries, associated partners from even more countries and universities, and key societal partners, is coming to an end. The end of such a process lends itself to taking a step back and reflecting on where we find ourselves today, four years later. What have we learned? Have we met the goals we set for these first years? Has the programme made the kind of contribution we envisaged, to research and to fields of practice outside academia?

"Co-creation for ecosystem restoration – a reflection from Mosquitia"

Arriving on the Misquito coast in eastern Honduras provides a sobering reminder of the tremendous challenge of healing ecosystems that lie ahead of us. The once forest-covered area has largely lost its trees, and the continuous fires ensure they won’t return anytime soon. As a result, the ecosystem in parts of La Mosquitia is moving from forest to grassland.

"Snufkin’s trousers: The making of the sustainable consumer"

“- I think it would be better if the trousers got older here, Snufkin said. They aren’t my shape yet. – Oh dear, said the old lady. What a pity! But perhaps you’d like a new hat? However this idea only filled Snufkin with alarm, and he pulled his old green hat down farther down over his ears and said: – Thank you, but I was just thinking how dangerous it is to load yourself up with belongings.” Tove Jansson, Comet in Moominland (Kometen kommer)*
