We are Naemi, Christian, Carina and Matthias and together we are team ekopaís. Our name is formed from the Swedish word “ekologiskt” for ecological and the Spanish word “país” for land. So our name reflects the SDG 15 – Life on Land, which we will focus on over the next few months. We hope that this new challenge will help us to develop ourselves and find a sustainable and useful solution.
