The Use of Economic Instruments
The Working Group on Environment and Economy of the Nordic Council of Ministers publishes regular reports on the use of economic instruments in Nordic environmental policy. This report is part of that series and has two parts. Part 1 presents an overview of the use of economic instruments in Nordic environmental policy, with a focus on policy changes over the period 2010-2013. Part 2 develops a framework for assessing the political possibilities of reforming environmentally harmful subsidies, and applies this framework to three cases relevant in the Nordic context. The report was prepared by Copenhagen Economics, GreenStream Network and Environice. The authors of the report are Hrafnhildur Bragadóttir, Carl von Utfall Danielsson, Roland Magnusson, Sampo Seppänen, Amanda Stefansdotter and David Sundén.
Nudging för hållbar konsumtion av elektronikprodukter
Rapporten fokuserar på möjligheten att använda s.k. nudging för att öka hållbar konsumtion av elektronik: att utan tvång "puffa" konsumenter mot mer hållbara konsumtionsval. Det är många olika faktorer som spelar in när människor bestämmer sig för att agera eller inte agera hållbart i olika situationer. I rapporten kartläggs bl.a. med hjälp av en pilotstudie de viktigaste faktorerna som spelar in vid beslut om konsumtion av elektronik, och hur nudging kan användas för att öka hållbar konsumtion av elektronik. Projektet genomfördes i 2015 av en projektgrupp bestående av konsulter från Copenhagen Economics i Sverige och Danmark och i samarbete med Pelle Guldborg Hansen vid Roskilde Universitet. Projektledare var Amanda Stefansdotter. Nordiska Ministerådets arbetsgrupp för hållbar konsumtion och produktion (HKP) finansierade och styrde projektet i samarbete med avfallsgruppen NAG.
Making the environment count
In 2013, the Nordic Ministers for the Environment decided to strenghten the measurement of green estimates of welfare and socio-economic developments. The report Making the Environment Count is describing how statistics on the environment and the economy thorugh the System of Environmental-Economic Accounts can be used to enable cross-sectorial analysis. The report proposes indicators that can be compiled annually in a Nordic context through existing statistics linking economic statistics to environmental statistics.
We are All Flesh
Berlinde De Bruyckere's work prompts the viewer to respond. That is why it has a particular appeal for writers of literature: they are fascinated by the compositions of distorted parts of humans and horses that refer to horror and comfort, to a cruel death and the sublime. De Bruyckere empties the bodies. Through holes, the public notices the darkness of a world inside that both appeals and repels. There is space around her work that resonates and in which writers can indulge in creativity -not by writing about objects, but by juxtaposing the work with creative texts. The author does not remove meanings of the work by trying to explain it, but rather adds to its meaning by responding to art with art. Nobel Prize winner J.M. Coetzee rises to this challenge: together with De Bruyckere he has chosen fragments from his impassioned and unsettling novels that are full of great beauty. Thus, the two present a composition of texts and images that from inside illuminates the dark world of their work.

Tove Jansson
The definitive illustrated biography of one of the most unique and beloved children's authors of the 20th century, the creator of the Moomins. Tove Jansson (1914-2001) led a long, colourful and productive life, impacting significantly the political, social and cultural history of 20th-century Finland. And while millions of children have grown up with Little My, Snufkin, Moomintroll and the many creatures of Moominvalley, the life of Jansson - daughter, friend and companion - is more touching still. This book weaves together the myriad qualities of a painter, author, illustrator, scriptwriter and lyricist from fraught beginnings through fame, war and heartbreak and ultimately to a peaceful end.
Swedes in Lowell
In the late 19th century, Lowell, Massachusetts was one of the most popular American cities for Swedish immigrants hoping to start a new life. "Swedes in Lowell" is the modern translation of Olof Berntson's 1917 book, "Svenskarne i Lowell, Mass.", which documents the humble beginnings and robust growth of Lowell's Swedish population from 1857 to 1917. Berntson lists the minutia of arrivals, marriages, births, and deaths, but also outlines the formation of Swedish religious congregations and community organizations in the city. "Swedes in Lowell" tells the story of this close-knit immigrant community using the broad strokes of historical perspective and the fine detailing of day-to-day living.
