Konsumindre – a book about overconsumption 

Live more with lagom

Konsumindre means to consume less in Swedish. It is a pun, and as always, puns don't translate well. Neither does the book currently, but Sustainabler offer workshops on overconsumption in English. Here you can find an article in the ISEP Magazine Transform about the book.

Ina and the Polar bear club – a book about climate action and hope

In 2022, Johanna Flood had just handed in her resignation letter. She needed time to listen to her own thoughts after years in a global leadership position. That same evening, she sat at her kitchen table, had a beer, and entered a state of deep creative focus. Within a few hours, she wrote the first version of a story about a girl and polar bears.

After hundreds of revisions, the story evolved into a children’s book about Ina, a young girl who starts a club to protect polar bears and fight climate change.

Behind the book Ina and the Polar bear Club

Ina and the Polar bear Club is a creative collaboration with:

  • Nancy Grönholm – illustration

  • Malin Ringsby – graphic design

  • Jenny Asp – text and editing

Like many children today, Ina feels overwhelmed by melting ice, endangered wildlife, and climate anxiety. Instead of giving up, she takes action by:

1️⃣ Turning her anxiety into action
2️⃣ Teaming up with others
3️⃣ Changing what she can influence

Through courage, teamwork, and hope, Ina shows that even small actions can make a big difference.

Support the real Polar Bear Club


At Isbjornsklubben.se, a real polar bear community is growing. Together with Anna SannevikenJohanna Flood is looking for partners who want to help develop this meeting place for children—where climate anxiety is transformed into action. Would you like to be part of it? 

Hindering and supporting factors towards net-zero

Never before have more companies had net-zero targets, and never before have the CO2 emissions been higher. What is stopping companies from acting and what factors can help them move forward? These were my research questions for my masters' thesis Net-zero transition for companies – hindering and supporting factors.

I interviewed nine professionals in sustainability, both consultants and in-house experts.

From the interviews, three types of factors emerged:

  1. Internal factors - those that the companies could influence themselves, both hindering and supporting.

  2. Value chain factors - the type of factors that the companies could only influence but not fully control, both hindering and supporting.

  3. External factors - those that the company could only influence to a minimum.

Read more about what hindering and supporting factors I found in organizations wanting to reach net-zero here.
