food systems they are part of. The podcast is taped live in front of an audience at the Nordic

Do dads hold the key to sustainability?
Gender equality has been a key to prosperity in the Nordic region. By harnessing the full talent
pool of women and men in society, the Nordic countries have found that stability and sustainability
go hand-in-hand with equal rights, responsibilities, and opportunities. But even in the Nordics,
there’s still a way to go.
This episode of the Think Nordic! Podcast series explores how the Nordic countries became one of
the most progressive regions in the world when it comes to gender equality together with Sharan
Burrow, Secretary General of the International Trade Union Confederation (ITUC) and Espen Barth
Eide, Member of Parliament in Norway. The podcast was recorded in front of a live audience at the
Nordic Pavilion at COP24 in Katowice, Poland. -
