Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Policy coherence is crucial in the 2030 Agenda's transformative ambitions and heralded as of paramount importance to ensure the successful implementation of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals and climate policy targets. Despite political efforts to achieve policy coherence, apparent trade-offs and goal conflicts have emerged – even in a proclaimed ‘front-runner’ country like Sweden. This paper examines the role of ideas in proposing and legitimising policy options and achieving policy coherence in the light of the Swedish recovery debate in 2020 following the COVID-19 pandemic. Ideas of a green economic recovery put forward in the public debate are examined through thematic text and frame analysis. We show that ideas of a green transition, boosted by economic recovery spending, draw on a synergistic frame in combining social, environmental, and economic policy options, carrying a potential for coherency. However, the absence of a discussion on power, as in who stands to gain what under which circumstances, coupled with an inherent understanding of a temporal hierarchy of policy priorities does not only impact the ability to design coherent policies but may have considerable impacts on the prospects of achieving sustainability transformations.

Vem äger frågan? : Förutsättningar för kommunikation i svenskt miljömålsarbet
- 2005

Reports (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Ständiga förändringar i samhället ökar kraven på flexibilitet och nya strategier för att hantera miljöproblematiken och arbetet med att nå en hållbar utveckling.Det kan uppstå problem när samhället ska anpassa sig efter nya strukturer och nyuppkomna behov, exempelvis när det gäller miljöhot. De nya krav som kopplas till hållbar utveckling och dess ekologiska dimensionreser krav på förändrad politisk styrning. I Sverige har det beslutats attmiljöfrågor ska vara övergripande för alla politiska områden. Formulering avplaner och program för ekologisk hållbar utveckling införs därför i olika typerav styrningssystem som bygger på olika sorts logik vilket kan leda till intressekonflikter.Det övergripande målet för svensk miljöpolitik är att till nästa generation lämnaöver ett samhälle där de stora miljöproblemen är lösta och där mänskligpåverkan på miljön är långsiktigt hållbar. År 1999 fastställdes en ny struktur ihållbarhetsarbetet genom framtagandet av 15 nationella miljökvalitetsmål och inovember 2001 antog riksdagen regeringens förslag om delmål och riktlinjer förhur dessa miljömål ska uppnås. Tanken är att miljökvalitetsmålen ska gevägledning för allt miljöarbete inom såväl olika samhällssektorer som på olikanivåer i miljömålsadministrationen. Regionala mål och sektorsmål ska utvecklasmed utgångspunkt i de mål som beslutats av riksdagen. Syftet med studien som ligger till grund för denna rapport var att identifierahinder för kommunikation i miljömålsarbetet och därigenom underlätta överbryggandet av kommunikationsbarriärer i framtida miljöarbete. Vi harstuderat hur aktörer på olika nivåer inom miljömålsadministrationen ser på målstyrning och arbetet med de svenska miljökvalitetsmålen med syfte att synliggöra hur kommunikationen kring miljömålen uppfattas.Vi har särskilt fokuserat på:kommunikation mellan administrativa nivåer, i allmänhet och rörandeuppföljningsarbetet i synnerhethur målstyrning fungerar i praktiken• vad som kan och bör mätas i uppföljningen av miljömålsarbetetmöjligheter till feedback mellan olika aktörer och administrativa nivåer.

Dialogue and the Circulation of Ideas

Book chapter (other academic/artistic)abstract
- In contrast to a vast literature that provides information and guides about focus groups as a methodological tool, this book is an introduction to understanding focus groups as analytical means exploring socially shared knowledge, e.g. social representations of AIDS, biotechnology or democracy, beliefs and lay explanations of social phenomena. The main emphasis of the book is to examine how to analyse interaction and ideas expressed in focus groups. The book considers, first, different kinds of dynamic interdependencies among participants who hold the diverse and heterogeneous positions. Second, it explores circulations of ideas and contents in focus groups. More generally, the book is concerned with: language in real social interactions and sense-making, which are embedded in history and culture; the ways people draw upon and transform social knowledge when they talk and think together in dialogue; the ways people generate heterogeneous meanings in the group dynamics; communicative activities and genres represented by different kinds of focus groups.This original approach to understanding focus groups will be of interest to researchers and advanced students in social sciences, communication studies, psychology, and language sciences.

Research review (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The literature on climate engineering, or geoengineering, covers a wide range of potential methods for solar radiation management or carbon dioxide removal that vary in technical aspects, temporal and spatial scales, potential environmental impacts, and legal, ethical, and governance challenges. This paper presents a comprehensive review of social and natural science papers on this topic since 2006 and listed in SCOPUS andWeb of Science. It adds to previous literature reviews by combining analyses of bibliometric patterns and of trends in how the technologies are framed in terms of content, motivations, stakes, and recommendations. Most peer-reviewed climate engineering literature does not weigh the risks and new, additional, benefits of the various technologies, but emphasizes either the potential dangers of climate engineering or the climate change consequences of refraining from considering the research, development, demonstration, and/or deployment of climate engineering technologies. To analyse this polarity, not prevalent in the literature on earlier emerging technologies, we explore the concept of dual high-stake technologies. As appeals to fear have proven ineffective in spurring public engagement in climate change, we may not expect significant public support for climate engineering technologies whose rationale is not to achieve benefits in addition to avoiding the high stakes of climate change. Furthermore, in designing public engagement exercises, researchers must be careful not to steer discussions by emphasizing one type of stake framing over another. A dual high-stake, rather than risk–benefit, framing should also be considered in analysing some emerging technologies with similar characteristics, for example, nanotechnology for pollution control.

Sustainability transformations : agents and drivers across societies
- 2019. - 1
-
Book (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Societal transformations are needed across the globe in light of pressing environmental issues. This need to transform is increasingly acknowledged in policy, planning, academic debate, and media, whether it is to achieve decarbonization, resilience, national development plans, or sustainability objectives. This volume provides the first comprehensive comparison of how sustainability transformations are understood across societies. It contains historical analogies and concrete examples from around the world to show how societal transformations could achieve the Paris Agreement and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals through governance, innovations, lifestyle changes, education and new narratives. It examines how societal actors in different geographical, political and cultural contexts understand the agents and drivers of societal change towards sustainability, using data from the academic literature, international news media, lay people's focus groups across five continents, and international politics. This is a valuable resource for academics and policymakers working in environmental governance and sustainability.This is one of a series of publications associated with the Earth System Governance Project.
