Clarifications with Klarén: the climate-neutral car

Zero doesn’t always signify nothing. Zero-emissions cars, for instance, are a big step in the right direction. If it refers to tailpipe emissions, for example, the zero is a major positive for local air quality.

We’re attempting to go one step further. We’ve set the goal to create a climate-neutral car. And we’re attempting to do it by 2030. Yes, we know how soon that is, and how challenging this goal (dubbed the Polestar 0 project), will be to achieve. But we also know how imperative it is that we succeed.

Zeroes, then, can be more than nothing. They can be something to aspire to. Something to strive for. Something to design towards.

Polestar Head of Sustainability Fredrika Klarén clarifies it all above.

Powering a movement: Damon Gameau on creating a positive, climate-conscious future

It’s early morning in the Northern Rivers of New South Wales, Australia. A peaceful silence blankets the coastal town of Byron Bay, interrupted only by the sound of waves crashing on the beach and the occasional magpie warbling in the breeze. As the sun starts to peek through the tall swathes of lush, green rainforest, the town begins to rise. Though for Damon Gameau, his day has already begun. Soaking up first light at his home amongst the trees and ferns, his morning ritual – a cup of tea on the back deck – is a constant reminder of what he fights so passionately to protect, and where his mission to inspire a positive, sustainable future begins each day.
