Episode #15 Sustainable Development and Inner Development Goals with Jakob Trollbäck from The New Division.
In this colorful and creative conversation Alexandra chats with Jakob Trollbäck.
Jakob Trollbäck is the main architect behind the language and visual identity of the UN's 17 Sustainable Development Goals, launched in 2015. He is also one of the initiators of the Inner Development Goals, a framework of individual skills and qualities needed to accelerate the work toward Agenda 2030.
Jakob has a branding agency in New York and founded The New Division in 2017, a communication agency in Stockholm that makes complexity easier to understand with simple, smart, and beautiful communication. The team is currently working on the new UN framework for biodiversity.
In this conversation we talk about things such as why all our best ideas come in the shower, but also how we are all part of biodiversity. As well as the impact of artist Jenny Holzer’s sign from 1982 that said “Protect Me From What I Want” and the story of how Jakob together with Richard Curtis (yes the fabulous British screen writer that wrote films such as Love Actually, Four Weddings and A Funeral, and Bridget Jones’s Diary) approached the development of the SDGs together.
