Through successful collaboration The Planet has had an enormous breakthrough in Swedish media and thus reached a broad Swedish audience. The aim of the campaign was to enhance public awareness of the planet Earth; to show its limits, its treats and its possibilities. The Planet is frequently used for public educational purposes at all levels.
The campaign consists of a movie, a four episode TV series, a science portal with educational stories, illustrative animations, and interactive videos, a website with on-line games, all together a result of a unique collaboration between a film production company, the Swedish public service Television and a science portal, forskning.se, owned by ten public research funding agencies.

Research at SEI, the Stockholm Environment Institute, is of consistently high scientific quality, but SEI must get better at marketing its research and itself. The Institute also needs to develop its co-operation with the private sector. These are the findings of the international panel of experts which Formas has engaged for the governmental remit of evaluating SEI’s research.

According to the UN Climate Panel the earth is getting warmer, very probably because of human emissions of greenhouse gases, and this warming is related to rising sea levels, shrinking ice masses, and the risk of rapid and unpredictable changes. But when does man´s impact on the climate become dangerous, and what is at stake? Are EU policies for energy and the climate toothless? Is carbon capture and storage a solution or just a smokescreen? Formas’ new book Climate challenge – the safety´s off takes a broad look at the climate issue in a global perspective.
