Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- In this paper, we explore Indigenous peoples' engagement and inclusion in the Green Climate Fund. We rely on the distinction between simple inclusion and a deeper recognition of Indigenous peoples' contributions, described as epistemic belonging. We analyse how organizational interdependencies, i.e. the exchange and valuation of resources between actors, and how the potential conflicts between contributions from different actors may influence to what degree Indigenous peoples can achieve epistemic belonging. To illustrate this we have analysed the struggles and tensions around the establishment of the Indigenous People Policy (IPP) of the Green Climate Fund (GCF), and the practical use of the IPP in funding proposal discussions and decisions. We conclude that Indigenous peoples' contributions are valued as long as they do not challenge other important GCF interests. Conflicts between contributions from different actors lead to a prioritization of recourses provided by accredited entities that help the GCF to develop, implement and manage climate projects. Hence, Indigenous peoples' contributions become subordinated which provides an obstacle to full epistemic belonging.

Time, Care, and Sustainability : Temporal Conflicts and Housing Renovation
- 2024

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This paper contributes to the wider discourse on sustainability and housing by showing how the dynamics of temporality and care plays out in processes of renovation. We explore five empirical cases of renovation of rental housing estates on the outskirts of Gothenburg, Sweden. Our study draws on the analysis of documents, observations, and qualitative interviews with key actors. We consider renovation a caring practice, both in the practical sense of "caring for" and in the emotional and ethical sense of "caring about". We argue that conflicts between stakeholders in renovation processes are better understood through attending to the ways in which notions of care are intertwined with the temporal organization of peoples' lives and organizational processes. We conclude that unawareness or negligence towards the various temporalities involved in renovation processes provide obstacles for collective processes of caring and raising sustainability concerns in renovation processes.

Social sustainability requires social sustainability procedural prerequisites for reaching substantive goals

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The synergies and trade-offs between the various dimensions of sustainable development are attracting a rising scholarly attention. Departing from the scholarly debate, this article focuses on internal relationships within social sustainability. Our key claim is that it is diffi cult to strengthen substantive social sustainability goals unless there are key elements of social sustainability contained in the very procedures intended to work toward sustainability. Our analysis, informed by an organizing perspective, is based on a set of case studies on multi-stakeholder transnational sustainability projects (sustainability standards). This article explores six challenges related to the achievement of such procedures that can facilitate substantive social sustainability. Three of these concern the formulation of standards and policies, and three the implementation of standards and policies. To achieve substantive social sustainability procedures must be set in motion with abilities to take hold of people's concerns, frames, resources, as well as existing relevant institutions and infrastructures.

- 2022
-
Rapport (populärvet., debatt m.m.)abstract
- Kärnavfallsrådet (Statens råd för kärnavfallsfrågor) är en tvärvetenskaplig kommitté som har i uppdrag att ge regeringen råd i frågor om använt kärnbränsle, kärnavfall och rivning av kärntekniska anläggningar, (M 1992:A Kärnavfallsrådet. Dir. 2018:18). I februari vartannat år ger Kärnavfallsrådet sin självständiga bedömning av det aktuella läget inom kärnavfallsområdet. Bedömningen presenteras i form av en kunskapslägesrapport. Syftet med rapporten är att upp-märksamma och beskriva frågor som Kärnavfallsrådet anser viktiga och att redogöra för rådets synpunkter i dessa. Kärnavfallsrådet överlämnar härmed till regeringen årets kunskapslägesrapport SOU 2022:7 Kunskapsläget på kärnavfallsområdet 2022 – Samhället, tekniken och etiken.Bakom denna rapport står samtliga ledamöter och sakkunniga i Kärnavfallsrådet. Kärnavfallsrådets vetenskapliga sekreterare Johanna Swedin har varit projektledare för arbetet med kunskapslägesrapporten.Rapporterna om kunskapsläget på kärnavfallsområdet åren 1998, 2001, 2004, 2007, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018 och 2020 finns även tillgängliga i en engelsk version.

Organizing matters : how ‘the social dimension’ gets lost in sustainability projects
- 2012
-
Ingår i: Sustainable Development. - : John Wiley & Sons. - 0968-0802 .- 1099-1719. ; 20:1, s. 18-27

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This paper explores the conditions for taking the social dimension into consideration when trying to aim for increased sustainability through activities organized in projects. Among the three commonly accepted pillars of sustainable development – economic, ecological and social – the social dimension is often the most vague and least explicit in practical attempts to shape sustainable development. The aim with this study is to explore the role of organizing in shaping the balance between the pillars. The two cases examined are projects explicitly related to sustainable development goals set by the national government or parliament and implemented by other actors. The cases concern two topics: food production and electromagnetic fields. On the basis of relevant organizational dimensions and case analyses, the paper shows how the organization of sustainability shapes the ways in which the projects articulate the social dimension. This leads to practical advice for organizing new projects in the future.

Climate action in a globalizing world : comparative perspectives on environmental movements in the global North
- 2017
-
Samlingsverk (redaktörskap) (refereegranskat)abstract
- The existence and urgency of global climate change is a matter of scientific consensus. Yet the global politics of climate change have been anything but consensual. In this context, a wave of global climate activism has emerged in the last decade in response to the perceived failure of the political negotiations.This book provides a unique comparative study of environmental movements in USA, Japan, Denmark and Sweden, analyzing their interaction with the international climate institutions of the United Nations, with national governments, and with currents in the global climate movement. It documents how and why the movement evolved between the Copenhagen Summit of 2009 and the Paris Summit of 2015, altering its strategies and tactics while attracting new actors to the issue area. Further, it demonstrates how the development of global environmental networks has increased contact between environmental movements in the Global North and those from the Global South, resulting in the establishment of ‘climate justice’ as a political cause and unifying frame for global climate activism.

Samlingsverk (redaktörskap) (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The existence and urgency of global climate change is a matter of scientific consensus. Yet the global politics of climate change have been anything but consensual. In this context, a wave of global climate activism has emerged in the last decade in response to the perceived failure of the political negotiations. Drawing on over 100 interviews that have been conducted with key activists representing a total of 70 organizations, this book provides a unique comparative study of environmental movements in USA, Japan, Denmark, Japan and Sweden, analyzing their interaction with the international climate institutions of the United Nations, with national governments, and with currents in the global climate movement. It documents how and why the movement evolved between the Copenhagen Summit of 2009 and the Paris Summit of 2015, altering its strategies and tactics while attracting new actors to the issue area. Further, it demonstrates how the development of global environmental networks has increased contact between environmental movements in the Global North and those from the Global South, resulting in the establishment of ‘climate justice’ as a political cause and unifying frame for global climate activism.
