Episode 17

Communicating climate change, with sustainability specialist and climate change presenter Christina Carlmark

How do we communicate the urgency of climate change without causing our listeners to put their heads in the sand in pure panic and denial? Is there a way to create a feeling of agency and a will to do some major changes?

Today my guest is Christina Carlmark. Christina has a business background and has had a long and impressive career with the Nordic telecom company Telia. 

She sees digitalization as a key enabler for a sustainable society, using fewer resources and emitting less greenhouse gases.

During the last years, Christina has worked in a Corporate Sustainability Department in Telia, and going forward she will dedicate her time to paid and volunteer work that takes us to a zero-emission world.

She has gained a lot of experience as a public speaker, and I hope you will get some good insights from our conversation about how to communicate this, a little bit tricky topic of sustainability and climate change.

Geophysicist by formal education, with a background within mobile satellite communication and the oil and gas industry. I did a 180 degree pivot in my career in 2016 and have since then focused all my energy and time to explore how we can have the optimal combination of the three pillars;
a good life - an interesting job - a healthy planet.
I have a strong sense of urgency when it comes to the huge challenges we are facing in the years to come, especially when it comes to climate change, but I strongly believe in the potential in people to step up and do the work when it is really needed.
That time is now.
