I Norden är det långt fler kvinnor än män som jobbar deltid. Det straffar sig på kvinnors lön, karriär och pension. Smartast för alla: Dela det obetalda arbetet i hemmet. Bara två dar till 8 mars - dags att börja vässa argumenten! Nordisk fakta 👉pub.norden.org/nord2021-036/ #nrpol
Pushkin Square, maybe less than 1000 meters from Red Square and the Kremlin, is the cite of a significant protest. These people know the risks of challenging the regime. They’re on the street in-spite of major personal costs.

Rural areas are vital to #ClimateAction. Climate smart agriculture & forest mgmt, biogas & renewable energy production are important rural change making solutions. And yes research is key! Thanks @SecVilsack @OECD_local @Nordregio @lamia_k_c @RefsgaardKaren #COP26

A net zero future for rural areas requires capacity says @SecVilsack at #COP26. To find the right green solutions we need innovation and research. Check out how we do this in DK where @GreenLab has teamed up with @DTUtweet in a national research center greenlab.dk/rd/
