TV4 broadcasts this evening "En kväll för vår planet" ("An evening for our planet") in collaboration with the World Wide Fund for Nature.
The fundraising gala shed light on climate change, deforestation, illegal hunting and other threats to our planet.
King Carl Gustaf, the President of the Council of the World Wide Fund for Nature Sweden, gave a pre-recorded speech.
The king said that for 50 years, he has had the privilege of being involved in the World Wide Fund for Nature. In this and other contexts, he has followed developments in the environment and climate area. And often with anxiety, but also with hope. Personally, he sees it as a great privilege to have experienced how valuable natural environments, thanks to invaluable efforts by the WWF for Nature, have been saved. The King said that we humans unfortunately have the ability to inflict great damage on nature, but thankfully we also have the opportunity to do the right thing. We can turn the tide and take responsibility for our planet, and for those who come after us.

The King delivered yesterday 17th September at the Royal Palace the Vega Medal and Johan August Wahlberg's Medal.
The Vega Medal was instituted in 1880 by the Swedish Society for Anthropology and Geography (SSAG), for which the King is the patron. According to the statutes, the medal goes to "persons who have promoted geographical research in an excellent way".
The medal was awarded to Anssi Ilmari Paasi, Professor of Geography at the University of Oulu, Finland. He receives the award for his great contribution to geographical research.
The King awarded Johan August Wahlberg's golden medal to Professor Emerita Margareta Ihse and Professor Emerita Karna Lidmar-Bergström from Stockholm University. They are awarded for their great and pioneering contributions to research in natural geography. SSAG also wants to pay attention to their role as early female predecessors, partly in their respective fields and in natural geography as a whole.

King Carl Gustaf reinaugurated Norrland Dragoon Regiment K4 in Arvidsjaur today.
On Friday, the Norrland Dragoon Regiment K4, resurfaced in Arvidsjaur after a historic decision to reopen the regiment. The king, prime minister and Supreme Commander of the Swedish Armed Forces were present at the inauguration.
In 2004, the government decided to close down Norrland dragoon regiment K4 in Arvidsjaur. Instead, Army Ranger Battalion was placed in the municipality.
Due to a changed external situation, the Riksdag decided in December 2020 that six new regiments would be established. Among other things, a re-establishment of K4 in Arvidsjaur.
