Case

We collaborate with researchers and communicators at 42 universities in Sweden and globally to transform research into engaging stories that contribute to a sustainable future. Through partnerships with leading companies and groups, we help them integrate the latest sustainability research into their strategies, and transform knowledge into concrete business benefits. We also support society's organizations and authorities with effective sustainability communication and innovative collaborative processes that drive change. Read more about our assignments below.

On Azote we are knowledgeable, committed and a valued partner. Do you have a communication challenge? Get in touch - together we will find the best solution!

RE:Source – The Triangle

There has been a lack of a clear model for visualizing and communicating the connections between resource extraction, climate and biodiversity. Therefore, RE:Source, in collaboration with Cirkelar and Azote developed a visual model to explore and communicate in a way that we understand.

Planetary Boundaries – the iconic framework

Visualization of the nine environmental processes that regulate life on our planet. Azote was tasked with helping Johan Rockström and his research team visualize research on the nine planetary boundaries we need to stay within in order to preserve a stable and resilient planet. The work with the illustrations has been closely linked with the conceptual development and took place in close dialogue with the researchers.

SDG Wedding cake

On behalf of the Stockholm Resilience Center created Azote a new version of the global goals for sustainable development – shaped like a wedding cake. The aim was to clarify the interdependencies between the goals and to highlight the vital role of the biosphere for sustainable development.

The illustration shows that a sustainable biosphere is the basis for everything else: without responsible management of nature and the environment, we can neither build well-functioning societies nor long-term sustainable economies.

The lesson bank about the Baltic Sea

Azote has supported the development of an inspiring lesson bank about the Baltic Sea and sustainable development. The project is a collaboration with researchers and educators from Stockholm University's Baltic Sea Center and the Baltic Sea Science Center at Skansen, funded by BalticSea2020. The goal has been to provide high school and junior high school teachers with scientifically based material that inspires both them and their students.

Guide: Green messages

We have developed seven principles to avoid common pitfalls and create credible sustainability communication. Communicating sustainability in a credible and effective way has become crucial for companies that want to engage both consumers and other stakeholders. In today's increasingly aware and skeptical consumerclimate requires companies to be both clear and transparent in their messages.

Reach out with your research through illustrations

Azote are experts in creating scientific illustrations that simply and clearly communicate the complex. Many of our illustrations have gained wings and become widely distributed and used. We understand the substantive issues, which makes it easy for you as a researcher or research communicator to collaborate with us. We create all kinds of illustrations and animations to help you communicate your research.

The future of the biosphere

Biosphere Futures is a joint project based on contributions from scenario researchers and practitioners from around the world. The collaboration is led by the Stockholm Resilience Center at Stockholm University in Sweden, the research collective Colectivo Fractal in Spain and The Natural Capital Project at Stanford University in the USA.

Research for a nature-positive economy

Finbio is run by the Stockholm Resilience Center at Stockholm University and brings together experts from various academic fields as well as strategic partners who can help us translate research results into financial impact in reality.

Don't waste your waste

Resource Value Mapping (REVAMP) is a decision support tool for quickly estimating the resource recovery potential from organic waste streams: sewage sludge, faecal sludge and other organic solid waste. REVAMP calculates the potential amount of recycled material, its energy and nutrient content, and the revenue that can be obtained from sales in different scenarios.

Economy and Finance for a Just Future on a Thriving Planet

Financetransformation.earth is an assignment where we have delivered the entire breadth of visual communication – from graphic profile and illustrations to printed report and website. The project is based on a report commissioned by the Swedish Ministry of the Environment and functions as an independent contribution to Stockholm+50.

Foodjams – Swedish legumes on the plate

FoodJams is a collaboration between Azote, the climate municipalities and the Household Association together with researchers from SLU, financed by Formas.

A FoodJam is a workshop to explore and test different ingredients with a focus on the benefits of Swedish-grown beans, peas and lentils. The purpose of the FoodJams project is to make locally produced and climate-friendly legumes available in school meals and to ensure that the dishes are liked by the children. By providing facts and letting the participants experiment, we increase knowledge and curiosity about legumes - something that in turn rubs off on the children at school.

The 10 most important insights in climate research

Each year, a unique compilation of the most important scientific insights into the climate is published, in the form of a scientific article and a policy report.

Azote collaborates with Future Earth Sweden to create a communicative policy report that serves as a basis for decision-makers. We create the illustrations, design and layout the report, develop the website and support the launch.

Increase knowledge and commitment to biological diversity at Swedish companies

How to go from nature park with research on endangered animals to also include companies to take an interest in biological diversity and increase knowledge about business's dependence on nature? Vildriket is a fantastic place in Järvsö that since 1992 has operated a nature park in the wild, for the conservation of endangered animals, research and education about biodiversity.

Biodiversity in Skansen's entrance

How do you tell all of Skansen's visitors what biodiversity is? By using images and sounds to create a sense of nature that everyone can relate to. Azote was commissioned to tell about biological diversity in Skansen's escalator - Sweden's oldest escalator which was inaugurated by the king in 1937. The wish was to use images, texts and speaker voices and present lots of facts.

A place of its own for the Baltic Sea at Skansen

The Baltic Sea Science Center at Skansen is both an aquarium and an exhibition about the challenges that threaten the Baltic Sea's wildlife and the preservation of its unique environment. In 2019, Skansen opened the doors to the Baltic Sea Science Center. Here, visitors can follow along on a journey through the Baltic Sea - from north to south, from east to west and from the surface down to the deepest depths.

A member-based network to strengthen collaboration within the research community

The Swedish Development Research Network (SweDev) is a member-based research network that aims to increase collaboration between researchers, but also enable policy and practice to be based to a greater extent on the latest research.

Increased fishing of bream and id to reduce eutrophication

The Race for the Baltic foundation ran the Baltic Fish project, which aimed to get more people to eat more of the fish species bream and id. By doing so, new jobs are created and you also contribute to a better marine environment.

The Baltic Sea is heavily fertilized, which means that some fish species do not thrive at all, while others thrive. The latter applies to the fish species bream and id. Happily, these fish are really good at binding the overproduction of nutrients found in the sea.
