Entrepreneur and long-time WWF ambassador Leif Johansson will take over H.M. King Carl XVI Gustaf's role as honorary chairman of the World Wildlife Fund WWF's Council from 11 May.
- I am incredibly honored to be WWF's new honorary chairman of its Council. As a long-term ambassador for WWF, I have had the privilege of following the organization and I will do everything to manage it in the best way. With my role from the business world, I hope to be able to highlight the fact that we all have to be involved and help to protect the planet, not least within the business world which is now involved in leading the transition, says Leif Johansson.
The Council is WWF's advisory body that meets twice a year. Here sit representatives of organisations, authorities, institutions as well as individually appointed members such as HRH Crown Princess Victoria. H.M. King Carl XVI Gustaf left the position as chairman at the regular council meeting on 15 June last year after having held the post since 1987.

Gunnebo House at its social media
Today, Gunnebo was visited by Crown Princess Victoria, who was given a guided tour of the garden and the orangery.
She also got to meet students from the Construction Crafts program at the University of Gothenburg and parts of Gunnebo's staff and board.
Conversations were held, among other things, about sustainability and in what ways a cultural and natural heritage can play a greater role in today's climate challenges.
We are very happy and grateful for the Crown Princess's visit. We hope that it won't be 20 years until the next time we see each other (in 2003, the Crown Princess inaugurated Gunnebo's cultural reserve).

Press release from the swedish government

On June 15, the Minister for Education Mats Persson is in Svalbard together with HRH Crown Princess Victoria to visit icebreaker Oden and the ARTofMELT research expedition as well as Bjørndalen.

The day begins with a tour of icebreaker Oden, which is located in the Adventfjord near Longyearbyen. Next, the research expedition ARTofMELT is presented, which has returned after six weeks in the Arctic Ocean, where they have, among other things, investigated when the ice begins to melt and what affects the melting. There will also be a display of research instruments on Oden and talks about the benefits of polar research for education and research.
The delegation will then visit Bjørndalen where the breadth of international climate research on Svalbard is illustrated.

After a year of construction, it was time for the inauguration of the new Turtle Ark at Nordens Ark.

- That the Crown Princess inaugurated the Turtle Ark is both important and fantastic. It helps us raise the threats to the world's turtles and that we need to act now to save them, says Mats Höggren, CEO of Nordens Ark.

First Victoria visited Nordens Ark's breeding facility in Lunden, where she received information about Nordens Ark's work to preserve the green-spotted toad and the work to recreate the habitat for the mnemosyne butterfly and rattle grasshopper so that the species can be saved. Victoria was also told about a new project where Nordens Ark, together with its partners, is working to re-establish the wild population of the European wildcat in Scotland.
At the opening of the Turtle Ark, a breeding center where vulnerable turtle species are given a sanctuary and the opportunity to reproduce for future releases, Victoria inaugurated the facility with the help of a turtle that had to bite off a ribbon of dandelion leaves.

The Maritime Museum (Sjöhistoriska Museet) published photos of Victoria's visit to the exhibition "Planet or Plastic" on Thursday.
"During yesterday we received a royal visit from HRH Victoria. The Crown Princess was shown our new exhibition "Planet or Plastic?" by museum director Mats Djurberg, to draw attention to the fact that today, June 8, is World Oceans Day. Thank you for a nice visit!"

Svensk Damtidning points out that Victoria speaks with her clothes.
Victoria does it often, she is often described as a pro at "diplomatic dressing". When Sweden is visited by heads of state, or she is out travelling, she likes to wear the colors of that country to honor the guest or the place she is visiting.
But if you look closely, there's more evidence than that and surely Victoria's styling team must know what they're doing?

Johanna Lind Bagge and her husband Anders Bagge attended the inauguration of the Turtle Ark.
Johanna loves animals and has visited Nordens Ark many times. She tells that they and Victoria listened a lecture where it was told that in some countries in Asia the turtles are killed because they are used for medicinal purposes. They were shown pictures of turtles hanging in traps. It is so hard to accept.
Johanna praises Victoria, she is so fantastic, so committed. When they walked around the park to see the snow leopard, red panda and other endangered animals, Victoria took time, the animals were in focus. Victoria is so warm, she is so beautiful, so simple and so natural. She sees everyone and listens to everyone. She has the biggest of hearts. We should be so proud to have such a fine crown princess, Johanna says.

On 3rd May Victoria visited Fritidsgården Synpunkten, a recreation center for young people with visual impairments. Unga med synnedsättning Stockholm (Young People with Visual Impairment Stockholm) is one of the associations which get support from The Crown Princess Victoria's Fund/Radiohjälpen.
A video of this visit will be shown at the Victoria Concert on Victoria's birthday. One of the reasons to make the video is to be able to tell the public how the funds of The Crown Princess Victoria's Fund are distributed. Radiohjälpen gave a press release about the visit this week, when the the fundraising for Crown Princess Victoria's Fund began.

For those who cannot see, it can be a challenge to, for example, make a toast. Victoria experienced this when she visited a recreation center for young people with visual impairments. "I would say it's thought-provoking and that's why I've chosen to come here", says Victoria.
Victoria wanted to learn more about the project and got to meet the participants. She also got to try making a toast, a grilled sandwich, blindfolded. She says: "I think that just getting an increased understanding of how it is to function in everyday life, that's so much you take for granted and don't even reflect on".
Victoria passed the challenge, both handling a hot sandwich grill and making a toast while blindfolded, but notes that it is important to have things in order so that you don't put your hands in the wrong place.

Photos from Facebook of Unga med synnedsättning Stockholm, they tell that Victoria participated in both making a toast, walking with a white cane in their premises with a blindfold on to get her own picture of what it can be like to have a visual impairment.

Victoria's speech at the 150th anniversary celebration of Atlas Copco on Saturday 10th June, she said among other things:
In 1874, one year after the company was founded as Atlas, my paternal great great great grandfather, King Oskar II inaugurated the factory facilities in Stockholm.
Since then, our paths have crossed quite a few times. Members of my family, as well as I, have visited Atlas Copco both in Sweden and abroad.

Victoria spoke in Svalbard yesterday with TT News agency.
Victoria worries about the future her children - and the rest of the planet - face due to climate change.
Victoria sees and hears a difference from when she was there last. It was 2008 and now it's 2023. It is worrying and sad when you understand the consequences for animals and nature. It is important that we understand what is happening in the polar regions. She is worried about our entire planet. We are changing the conditions of plants, animals and ourselves at a rate we may not fully understand. We don't understand how we disturb the ecosystems that are so hugely important. We talk too little about the ecosystems, we lock in a lot of targets when it comes to carbon dioxide emissions, which is also very important. But it's very important how everything fits together. Victoria highlights the issue by talking about it and trying to show the research that is being done. It's easy to think that the Arctic is not that important, that it is high up and only affects what is up here. It's not like that, but it's usually there that the signals are seen first. It is important to understand the whole. She tries to be a conscious consumer in her choices and in their choices they make at home. It's not so easy to be a consumer and it's not always easy to live as you wish. Victoria also thinks it is important to inform and talk to the children about climate change.
