Therefore, men and women care very much about the environment

- On the whole, men as a group have a larger ecological footprint than women. But it also depends on other factors such as class, ethnicity and age, says Pernilla Hagbert.

She is a researcher in urban and regional studies at KTH in Stockholm and has collaborated with the association Men in producing the conversation material Men in the climate crisis, which now becomes a study circle in Umeå.

Pernilla Hagbert believes that study circles where men talk about the climate threat are needed.

- Above all, the discussions are needed. Although research shows differences in how men and women behave, it is not the same as men or women are in a certain way.

She believes that the norm is that men drive a car and eat meat, while women go more collectively and eat vegetarian.

- It's about identity, how we look at ourselves. And it is important to discuss.
