Last night at Norrsken House Stockholm, we hosted Gabriel Wikström Wikström, fresh from his role as Sweden’s national coordinator for UN's Sustainable Development Goals and Agenda 2030. Gabriel, who played a key role in shaping 14 bold proposals for a more sustainable economic system, sat down with our Co-CEO Sara Kappelmark to explore what’s next for driving meaningful change. It was a powerful reminder that imperfect action beats inaction. Whether it’s pushing boundaries within existing systems or, like Gabriel, going back to school for new perspectives – it’s all about redefining progress in a way that respects our planet’s limits. Big thanks to everyone who joined and made the evening special. Want to be part of conversations like this? Join us at Norrsken House Stockholm, link in comments. 🏡✨
