Analys: ”Klimatmedborgarråd måste välja – öka förståelse mellan meningsmotståndare eller stötta en viss politik”
Debate article
2025-09-16
Dagens medborgarråd försöker kombinera två svårförenliga syften: att möjliggöra samtalsdemokrati och vässa klimatambitionerna. I stället bör råden renodlas så att de antingen stöttar genomförandet av klimatpolitiken eller dämpar polarisering mellan meningsmotståndare genom goda samtal. Det skriver Alexander Hellquist, Martin Westin, Camilo Calderon och René van der Wal, alla aktiva inom Mistra Environmental Communication.

“Industriella storsatsningar och gruvprojekt kritiseras från många håll och uttrycket ”den gröna omställningen” har fått en besk bismak. Men varför heter det ens så? Är det en omställning och är den verkligen grön? Genom att blicka tillbaka på hur begreppet använts tidigare kan vi få insikter om framtiden”, skriver fyra forskare inom Mistra Environmental Communication i en debattartikel i Dagens Nyheter. Anke Fischer, professor i miljökommunikation vid Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet (SLU), Sofie Joosse, docent vid SLU och programchef för Mistra Environmental Communication och Nora Förell och Kornelia Johansson, doktorander i miljökommunikation vid SLU.

Anticipating airpocalypse: Air quality apps and implicit modes of anticipatory practices
Scientific paper
2025-07-09
Carin Graminius and Jutta Haider writes in the journal Futures.
This paper explores the anticipatory assemblages of air quality apps as well as users’ interactions with these apps and their implicit anticipatory practices. They argue that the assemblage of human and non-human actors that constitutes air quality apps presents air pollution as divorced from human action. Furthermore, proposed actions against air pollution accounted for in air quality apps may not be attuned to the diverse contexts of the users, such as less affluent actors. Moreover, apps have world-making powers, as users follow the advice and actions the apps provide, implicitly contributing to the vision of the future the apps present.

Joe Rogan & Other Top Podcasts Spread Climate Disinfo, Research Finds
News article
2025-05-09
Elisa Tattersall Wallin is interviewed by the newspaper Sentient.
Podcast channels that spread disinformation often use emotionally charged language in their titles and episode descriptions, unlike factual podcast channels that have the intention to inform or entertain. We are often not as good at thinking critically about sources when we feel strong emotions like anger or sadness, it’s therefore a clever trick as a way to spread disinformation and conspiracy theories. As a listener of podcasts or a consumer of social media in general, it might be worth thinking about how information is packaged by the sender, Elisa explains.

Can Conflict Be Planned Away? A Critical Assessment of Participatory Land Use Planning in Swedish Forest Governance
Scientific paper
2025-01-27
A widespread governance response to land use conflict is to seek improved communication through the employment of dialogue-based instruments. In this paper, we interrogate the guiding presupposition that conflict can be planned away through a case study on the Reindeer Husbandry Plan (Renbruksplan), a tool used to address land use conflicts between industrial forestry and Indigenous Sámi reindeer herding.
