The UNFCCC GAP aims at advancing knowledge and understanding of gender responsive climate action, and includes activities for gender mainstreaming the implementation of the Paris Agreement. The report finds that the Nordic region demonstrates commitment to integrating gender equality perspectives into climate policies, and summarises best case examples on local and national level. It also suggests that by prioritising capacity building of mainstreaming in climate policies, utilising available sex-disaggregated data for gender analysis, and by enhancing coherence in relevant policy frameworks, the Nordic countries can improve their implementation of the UNFCCC GAP and further pave the way for a just transition to a green economy.

Akseli ja koronavirus on arkinen koronasatu alle kouluikäisille. Koronaviruspandemia vaikuttaa myös pienten lasten elämään. Koronatestaus, kontaktien välttely ja karanteeni ovat lapselle uusia ja mahdollisesti hämmentäviä kokemuksia. Tämä suomalaisen lääkärin kirjoittama arkinen tarina on suunniteltu helpottamaan alle kouluikäisten lasten koronavirukseen ja karanteeniin liittyvien tunteiden ja ajatusten käsittelyä. Akseli altistuu koronavirukselle ja joutuu karanteeniin. Hän kokee karanteenin hauskuuden ja tylsyyden ja jännittää koronatestiä. Hän pohtii, onko itse saanut koronaviruksen ja voiko koronaan kuolla. Mummia on ikävä. Lopulta koittaa se odotettu päivä, kun karanteeni on ohi ja Akseli pääsee juhlimaan serkkunsa syntymäpäiviä. Akseli kyselee niitä kysymyksiä, joita lapset koronasta kysyvät ja hänen lempeät vanhempansa vastaavat. Vanhemmat on piirretty niin, että heidät on mahdollista lukea joko äitinä ja isänä tai kahtena äitinä lukijan valinnan mukaan.
This book is the first Finnish-language collection of research on superdiversity. At the core of the book is the growing migration to Finland since the turn of the 1990s and its numerous effects on Finnish society. The interdisciplinary examination of superdiversity is important at the current moment: Finland as a society has reached the point where certain social categories, such as ethnic background, country of birth, mother tongue or gender, are not necessarily sufficient to understand the increased diversity and its consequences. The book consists of a comprehensive introduction to the topic and thirteen chapters. In Finland, research on superdiversity is carried out especially in critical sociolinguistics and applied language studies, education, cultural studies, social sciences, and urban studies. Therefore, these disciplines are strongly represented in the collection, and the chapters approach a variety of topics including refugees’ mental health, experiences of multilingual families, the diversity of education and working life, discursive practices in social media, issues of urban planning and pro-asylum activism.
